Best alternative iPod software...

[tlogank]

Hi, I just got an iPod and I really like it, but I do not @ all want to use the iTunes software. I was wondering what all alternative software is available. I know about the Winamp plug-in, and it works ok, but are there any others that might be better?

sorry, but what does that have to do with my question?

[Revenant]

I use Ephpod. It gets the job done.

I used this with my Old v1 iPod, it was very good back then

you asked about alternative ipod software and in your description you stated that you didnt want to use itunes. so in response i suggested wmp10 which you can use to organize your media, buy music and listen to your tracks on your device. now if i didnt answer your question, sorry, then may i advise that you word your question a little differently so others, such as myself, would understand what you are specifically looking for.

^yeah he did.

Why not just use iTunes? Its easy, it integrates the best, and you have plenty of features....

wmp10 is irrelevant because it doesn't support iPod ######; i'd use iTunes still if i wer u but its ephpod otherwise

My wifes 2Gen ipod came with Musicmatch. I recently upgraded to Real MP 10 and it instantly popped up when I connected my new 4Gen ipod. I guess you could use that...

I personally prefer iTunes. To each his own...

in anyway was i being an ######? i think you need to lighten up a little bit there. excuse my ignorance but i didnt exactly know that ipods didnt work with wmp10. good job on being a prick.

I prefer iTunes if all the source music is coming from CDs. If it is coming from...elsewhere then ephpod is the way to go, especially as it imports winamp playlists so easily.

And yeah, this should be in the Portables section or w/e it's called.

EphPod

[acoustikrage]

My bad, I just thought the since the iPod was made by Apple and it is a piece of hardware, that is should located in the Apple Hardware Discussion...don't know why I would have thought that?

the reason why people jumped on you is because you posted a solution for Zen Micro....... we don't care about zen micro in this post. only ipod

then you then you said that you "suggested wmp10" (which you didn't, you only posted what worked with zen micro) AND IT DOESN'T EVEN WORK WITH IPOD

so what you need to learn from this..........

1) adress the FULL question that was asked (don't opt out ipod just because.....)

2) don't suggest things unless you know they work

did you try XPlay?

I looked at it, and it looks nice, but it is a pay software, too.

Don't suppose you took the time to notice the parent forum is called...

Macintosh Customization & Support - So this forum is for All Apple Hardware, that is Macintosh related. Unfortunately you're beef has absolutely NOTHING to do with Macintosh computers, so this is infact in the wrong place, as StevoFC pointed out.

I don't suppose you happened to notice the stickied thread, posted by Chad, at the top of this thread too, did you? Well if not, now is as good a time as any...

Here's one click i just saved you, i've quoted the content of that thread...

From now on, ALL Ipod discussion and/or support threads should be posted in the Mobile Devices forum. We realize the IPod can fit into both Apple Hardware and Mobile Devices, but the MD forum was made specifically for items such as the IPod. As well as for organizational purposes, it makes no sense to allow posting of the ipod in two different forums. The Apple Hardware forum, from now on, shall be used specifically for hardware support/discussion related to Apple computers.
