Ipod video software

[phi1]

Hi all, I have a 30gb ipod video, Is there any other way off copying songs/films onto the ipod without using itunes?

thanks Phil

Are you using windows or mac osx?

In windows - you can enable disk usage in itunes and then in 'View' file types etc, hidden files and when you open the ipod in explorer you can view a folder - cant exactly remember the name(!) but in there you can move files from the ipod. Note that all the files will have 4 letter filenames - so in order to make sure you copy the right file, check the filesize.

When you import this into a video application, I'm pretty sure all the tag data etc is restored. Its just how the ipod stores the data.

Thats how I had to move my itunes library when my external hard disk blew up and then reconsolidate it on a new disk...

Another option is ipod liberator... though I dont even know if thats around anymore?

Somebody probably has a better idea though!

//EDIT - Just actually read your post properly.. must have been sleep in my eyes! I don't think its possible - but why wouldnt you want to use itunes??//

I just prefer media centre, It's not to much off a problem, But could be easyer! Thanks anyway

Nay problem - didnt do much! I'm pretty sure that media center can send files to portable devices - I'm just not sure if the ipod is compatible...
