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.

Re: Alternative to Itunes Virus


I've always hated itunes, use realplayer, its much better. Bak i nthe days when I used to hack my iPod, I had to fully restore the firmware several times, and partion it. This one time it was totally f4@*3d and I tried everything to get it back to normal. Some how I corrupted it. With my last hope, I plugged it into realplayer and it started fixing it! A message just popped up and it started uncoruupting the data or something.
Ever since that I have always used realplaer, its so simple as well.

Just plug your iPod in and open realplayer, it should automatically take you to the 'burn/transfer' tab and you should see your iPod there. If not, go to the drop down and select it, then you can just use the menu on the left to browse for you music and drag it all in. EASY!
