Alternate to sync/Load IPod with PC without iTunes?

super

After a clean restore of my laptop and removing bloated ware of manufacturer, its clean,lean and fast. Now I am in the stage where I need to load mp3 in my Ipod. So can anyone save the soul of my laptop by suggesting some way to load mp3 without the iTunes X| . Internet has so much information that I am not able to select between crap and real info. So any personal experience?

I've always just resorted to iTunes unfortunately, even had to use some scripting to clean up after moving hard drives etc. Can't recommend anything through personal use, but you could always try this: http://www.copytrans.net/copytransmanager.php[^] or have a look at: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-ditch-itunes-forever-and-keep-syncing-your-ios-d-505568915[^]

Spotify can work with your iDevice, but maybe that's just out of the frying pan and into the fire?

I use foobar2000 with the ipod manager plugin.

WINAMP!!! :D I know it's pretty much dead, but you can still actually download the latest version. Just plugin your iPod, start up WinAmp, add mp3s to your library and drag/drop mp3's to your iPod device. You can also listen to the mp3s on your iPod using WinAmp. You'll get no auto-sync (preferably the wrong way), erroneous auto-tagging and other crap that iTunes usually does. WinAmp, it really kicks the llama's iTunes ass!

Following the proud tradition in the Lounge of responding to such questions with completely irrelevant answers, I'll suggest buying a Pioneer turntable, an Hitachi dual cassette deck, and a Bose amp and speakers. You can then use that lot to load up tapes for a Walkman.
