I was gifted an IPod a few days ago and want to copy files to it without using the annoying Itunes program. I was hoping there was a decent way to do this free. Any suggestions?
iTunes is free and one of the more non-annoying MP3 management programs I’ve seen.
You could try formatting the iPod as a drive, and figuring out the index and directory structure, but it’s not worth the effort.
Winamp has an iPod plugin

Don’t have an iPod, so can’t say how well it works.
I use EphPod and find that it does what I need it to do.
