Another ulternative to iTunes is V-Pod. It will basically just let you get 
songs from your hard drive on to the iPod and will do the necessary 
creating/modifying of the iPod database, that the iPod firmware requires to be 
present, if you want to play your music from the iPod firmware.

  Hi Nicki,

  You can only use Anapod to transfer content that will be played by the Apple 
firmware.  You might want it for transferring Audible books, though.  iTunes is 
usable, but I would imagine it would be difficult to use without scripts or set 
files.  Shane, are you using either scripts or set files to use iTunes?  
Windows Explorer is great for transferring files to be played with Rockbox.

  It sounds like you're going for the iPod Video anyway, but just in case you 
consider a Nano, keep in mind that Rockbox only works on the first generation 
Nano.  I also don't think it works on the 80 GB iPod Video, though I could be 
wrong about that.

  I've been using a Nano with Rockbox since last summer and have been pleased 
with it.  It's great to have a mainstream player that talks.  And I routinely 
switch between the Apple firmware and Rockbox.

  Cheers,
  Anna
