I've had many iPods over time, and absolutely loved em, and yes there are other programs other than iTunes that can sync with your iPod, and I've tried em, however, although I'm not a fan of iTunes, I ended up using it just for that since it's pretty much the best for syncing with your iPod, plus I'm pretty sure you need it to get any firmware updates, etc. etc.

It's not like it's any trouble to just use it for syncing. If you gotta use an alternative to your preferred media player, then I don't see the problem with just using iTunes instead.

You can use mediamonkey for sure. You do not NEED itunes for an ipod. I never, never used it at all on any of my ipods. I just used some freeware software to add and remove musics.

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
