Songbird is the best. It's still in alpha/beta phase but it looks and works pretty damned good, if you ask me. There's a plugin to support the iTunesDB format and all that crap....I personally put rockbox on my ipod (opensource/free firmware), so I can just use my iPod as a USB-disk device, and throw music at it. It doesn't really matter where I throw the music, or what format the music's in....rockbox handles all. Of course, you could also use the iTunesDB and rockbox together (rockbox can read iTunesDB, as well as flat-file music), and when you install rockbox on your iPod, you can dual boot into Apple's firmware. (Note: I don't use the iTunesDB, it's too evil.)
