Hello. While you can think of your Ipod as a disk drive, the
music play lists are stored in a database file which is stored on that
disk as well. In other words, The ipod won't play random files on its
disk unless those files are referenced by its music database. So, you'll
need I-tunes to get music to play on your Ipod, but not to use your Ipod
as a portable disk drive.
There are other programs, like X-play, which can load and unload
your Ipod, but if you have I-tunes, you may as well use it. -Brian
