Transfer Music to your Ipod!

[simcityltd]

Hey Guys & Gals, I was helping cyber today with a problem that he was having with itunes. Itunes was not letting him transfer MP3's to his new Ipod Video  . It Kept on coming up with that he needs to re-rip the CD's or Buy them from Itunes. But That was just taking the  p i s s because he had ripped 120 cd's to his hard drive and we dont like downloading music illegaly. So i done some Research on the net and found a program that let cyber transfer the music to his Ipod Video without Itunes and we thought that we would post it here so it would help you guys out aswell! The Program is Called Vpod.

vPod is a program for transferring music to your iPod from Windows. It presents a unified view of all of your music and lets you see what is and what is not already on your iPod. I think that it's a much more intuitive interface for managing what is available on your iPod than the existing solutions.
vPod is free software. It is licensed under the Free BSD license so that as many people as possible can benefit from it.

i like to use winamp with an ipod plugin(forget what its called, shouldnt be hard to find on the winamp site)
also, with alt. firmwares (rockbox) you can drag and drop into the music folder.

oh thx for th idea with winamp!! itunes doesnt start on my laptop("itunes has stopped working" as soon as i double click the icon) and vpod doesnt support my ipod firmware.ill try winamp and hopefully i can sync my ipod again!

i find senuti to be the nicest freeware that lets you do whatever you want with your music

I use winamp too, the larest updates have built in support for iPods, but I find theres problems. So I use the lm_pod plugin, it works perfect;y an gives you a lot more freedom than iTunes.

just to comfirm this does not work for the new ipods, i tested for classic a week ago

You might want to try Sharepod - it resides on the iPod, so can be run from ANY pc.  Drag and drop to/from iPod plus more...

This is also wrong. You can't use this to transfer TO an iPod.

Also, no the iPod won't read it properly if you just copy music over.
