It's definitely one of the best media managers available, and I like being able to take my music off of my iPod as easily as I put it on. I would definitely check that out if you really don't want to use iTunes. I’m not sure how well it works with the newer iPods, but my preference to applications is Winamp.

Perhaps you didn't want to swing anyone's choice. I just wonder what you have had best success with. I am really on the edge of submitting to an ipod. For a couple of years I have used iAudio x5. It has been great, but now the battery life is failing and I am looking for an alternative. It's hard to argue with the new ipod classic - 80gb for £150? It is a hugely attractive offer! My other quibble would be that installing itunes appears to be a necessity. Your link to the "how to..." shows that in order to enable the hard drive one needs to have itunes installed. That's a bit of a pain for anyone that wants to steer clear of itunes altogether. Finally - sorry to go on - it seems that the new ipod releases are fitted with some sort of system to make it even more difficult to use it with an alternative to itunes.

Not that I’ve seen. I’ve looked around for such a thing but never found something that worked the way you would expect.
