I am not going to touch itunes... and I can't find anyway to get an songs on the ipod ... plus everytime I disconnect the ipod it resets ... I have an ipod 6th gen

I use winamp with the ipod and alac plugin. It syncs much faster than itunes and response in winamp is much quicker

I simply load files on them using iTunes, then play back using the iBud's.
Simple really!

if you have windows, itunes is slow from what i hear. i have osx and it is wonderful: nothing comes close to the experience.

however, you can also try songbird which will allow you basically the same use as itunes but from mozilla. works well and looks good.

Off topic Question: Is it possible to sync non-Apple DAPs using iTunes?

 

[shigzeo]

not sync but you can use itunes for their music management. i have some sony and cowon and iriver and meizu which i used with itunes. no playlists but i never use those anyway. i just moved the songs i wanted or albums i wanted using finder (or windows explorer) drag and drop

Just use iTunes and you will save yourself a lot of hassle

I thought you said you had OSX

I like to use media monkey to manage some daps i have. It should work fine with an ipod. Plus it has some pretty powerful features especially if you have a pretty big music library. But it doesn't support video. So yea....

I use MediaMonkey to manage my library and I just use the Zune software to point to a directory in wich I place all the music I want to sync. It should be the same with iTunes I think.

i use foobar2000 + plugin to sync

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

OSX > iTunes > AAC 192 > ipod.

Not sync.
But you can manually drag and drop files from within iTunes directly to the players file system.
