What sort of stuff are you after?  Pretty much mainstream or more
leftfield hard to come by?

There's others like MP3.com but it's simply just not as big a choice as
iTunes.  Otherwise I would suggest the Limewire route if you are happy
with this approach and the possible spyware etc.  It's amazing some of
the rare stuff you can find on there.

Otherwise i'd suggest finding yourself a good independent record shop
who's happy to order in stuff for you they don't stock and stick with
the old fashioned way.

Sorry, I didn't explain properly. I need a program which
will transfer tunes to my Ipod.

Oh I see.  Haven't used it since getting a later iPod so i'm not sure
what versions it now supports but vPod was pretty straightforward.

Worth a look at least.

I know what you saying about iTunes.  Has some random acts up it's
sleeve like deciding to just wipe out info like ratings and album artwork.

I tried it, it sux

But thanks for the reply.

You think? I got it for my Rio and thought it was the bees knees.
Transfers were much quicker and the streaming host was dead handy.

I'm still having problems. The various programs I've used are having
varying amounts of difficulty recognising the shuffle and iTunes still
locks up my PC.

Hmm

Tell me if I'm wrong, but can't you just mount the iPod like an external
hard drive and drag and drop music that way? No need for any programs
whatsoever (other than Explorer, of course). I don't have one, but my
brother does, and I think that's what he does.

Lurkfully yours,
Acercanto

No.

You think wrong if he has an iPod, you have to use iTunes (which I
think is superb) or one of the kludge solutions.

I think it needs iTunes.

mlipod works as easy as it should, as a plugin to winamp
