iPod 3rd party software - URGENT by Nathan on 09-27-2007 at 06:25 PM

Hi,
I got an iPod for my birthday yesterday and it is from america. (it's the 2nd gen).
Does anyone know of either an addin to Windows Media Player so I can add music from that or a 3rd party software, becuase I hate iTunes.

Also does anyone know of an ipod linux alternative?

Thanks,

Nathan

You hate iTunes, it's the most easy to use program I have on Windows :O

Well the search results for 'iTunes alternative' brought up this website:

You can even use Winamp, iTunes is easy.

you can import your library? It automagically converts all the songs to work in itunes :)

I have to lol :P Just import the library and for those with DRM there are a few programs available that can strip DRM from WMP Download Service and iTunes downloads so you should be able to get every song you currently have in WMP Library into any other decent music player

The standard firmware. Ipod Linux isn't that great, it doesn't let your ipod go into 'deep sleep' (or whatever it's called) and will drain your battery noticeably even when not in use.

Edit: Plus you'll realise that an ipod is most useful for listening to music that anything else :p

Thanks guys, but I've found a plugin for WMP so it works now :)

(though it is a 30 day trial :( )
