Basti Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 ok i've just boutght a new laptop and i need something with wich to manage my music and vids. im not too happy bout itunes because of the way it feels the need to copy all your files into a completely new directory. the problem is, i have an ipod and i know how ghey apple are with their cross compatibility. if there are any other programs that can interface with the ipod and keep the functionality, please feel free to share. thanks guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241419-media-players-alternatives-to-itunes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_infamy Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hi Basti I can tell you from experience that Winamp has an iPod plugin you can use. Another one that is getting lots of praise at the moment is MediaMonkey There is also a new one coming from the same lot that bought us Firefox. It's called Songbird That's still in beta though, so I suggest you try the others first. Hope that helps Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241419-media-players-alternatives-to-itunes/#findComment-4215751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manda2365 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I use Winamp for mine as well. After trying to figure out Itunes, and cracking it after it wouldn't even pick up my ipod, I found Winamp, and it's so easy and quick to use.

mr_infamy Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Yeah, Winamp is the tried and true media player for most. It doesn't chew through processor power like Windows Media Player does (I say this, but I still use Windows Media Player) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241419-media-players-alternatives-to-itunes/#findComment-4217020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use itunes on my PC to manage my music, but only out of convenience... and the fact that I am rarely in front of my PC. Winamp is a far superior app. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/241419-media-players-alternatives-to-itunes/#findComment-4267504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLY12N Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Winamp for sure, have always used it. As for putting tunes on to the actual Ipod you can use Sharepod as an alternative but it's not as extensive as Itunes.
