I found that WinAMP works just fine with adding and removing music from your iPod. It even transcodes most video, but is not very versatile on where you can put it on your iPod . I will have to give songbird a try. I am not having any issues so far with iTunes… But I always try alternatives

I am having all the same frustrating problems with itunes and have decided to give up. I have a dell with my music on a network drive. I saw that in another place you have recommended mediamonkey. Which is better?

You’ll have to get the iPod plugin for Songbird:

Very nice!

I was fed up with iTunes as the only Intel OS X player to the point I was considering dabbling in Cocoa and ObjC to throw together something of my own. Hopefully I’ll be spared the trouble. :3

One word: Proprietary (ipod database).

Crazy case of deja vu right now.
