iPod Touch....without iTunes??

MouseMat2004 · 28 Dec 2007 at 19:02

I've activated it.... just dont want to install it on my PC, I'd rather leave it on the wifes laptop but naturally wouldnt mind transferring some songs/videos etc on it. Are there any good programs that allow me to do this?

iTunes is the best and most simple, I'm not sure of many alternatives that work with the Touch yet.

Winamp?

I have tried a few of the programs I have used on a shuffle to no avail - something to do with the touch not being accessed as a disk or something.

I hate itunes with a passion, its slow and cruddy in my opinion (and yes I am allowed one of those

) so will hope that alternatives start popping up soon!

Winamp might work with it. The ml_ipod plugin is good for managing iPods properly (i.e. without iTunes), but it doesn't support the Touch yet.

I guess I'll just have to wait. The few programs I've tried have all needed iTunes installed as it uses some of it's DLL's. I cant see it being a massive problem... I can fully access the filesystem via FTP, it's just not in a format that I can drag and drop MP3's and vids. Since the iPhone is quite popular I'm sure someone clever will cash in

I also hate iTunes.

It doesn't suppose the Touch yet according to the website.

Give MediaMonkey a go!, its a Winamp Clone (I think a Clone of Winamp 3 that actually works!!).. it also handles 'Coverflow', which Winamp doesn't.. I tried it, but (unfortunately) I've gone back to iTunes...
