Alternative to Itunes Virus


Ok - since i've installed Itunes i've had nothing but bother, i'm gonna system restore to a time before itunes virus.

But i'm then stuck with how do i get stuff on and off my ipod video? Is there any other decent software out there?

Itunes is crap. Try anapod from Red Chair software.

Mmm, don't want to get into an argument, and I agree that WMP and RealPlayer are crap - but itunes is not the best music software out there. If you're happy with it though, then just stick with it. Personally, I thought it was clunky bloatware, and much prefer anapod.
