I do not use ITunes with my IPod. I manage it with a 3rd party program called Anapod Explorer from Red Chair software which has never had an issue with my IPod. I only carry MP3 tracks on my IPOD and don't deal with buying music which can't be transferred. If I do buy a song. Its burn to CD and then rip as MP3.

Well, I expect you need to have iTunes if you have an iPod, I would not be surprised if there's no way around that. The question is just whether you can use another (better) media app as well. Here's the jriver forum for ipod users. There are some interesting threads in there about Apple trying to prevent ipod/itouch/iphone users from using anything but iTunes, and pretty much every new version they come out with you can expect will have new firmware to try to prevent the 3rd party apps from working. http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=8.0 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:281220 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
