The most useful and needed program for “iPod” is “iDumb”. This program lets you just copy your music without “iTunes”. This way the doors are opened for piracy, but I hope you won't be doing anything illegal with this program. "iDumb” is small and easy to use.
Second useful program is “iGadget”. It can backup songs and playlists. It also shows cinema schedules, weather, horoscopes and RSS news. This program is free only for a limited time. Later you"ll have to pay $15.
Program “MediaMonkey” is not bad alternative for “iTunes”, but it doesn't support video. You can also adjust music sound.
If you want to change “iTunes”, you can try “J. River Media Center”. It allows you to completely manage your playlist and files, has a TV tuner control (?..), can record sound. It costs $40, but it is worth it.
“iPodCopy” can copy songs, playlists, podcasts and video from your iPod to your computer, backup all your music and video, transfer songs, playlists and video from your “iPod” directly into “iTunes”. Also transfers your Album Art, Ratings, Play Count and other song data. Sometimes programs slow down, but after a while it works fine again. You can try it for free, later - $20.
Like “iGadget”, “iPodSync” gives you information. You can manage “Outlook” contacts, e-mails, RSS news and weather. Free to try, later - $14,95.
“Plato Video to iPod Converter” was created when “iPod”, which supports videos, appeared. This program works fine, but looks old. Free to try, later - $29,95.
“SuperAV Converter” is just an easy to use program for video converting. You can use it not only with “iPod”, but it's recommended. It can also adjust sound files. Free to try - later $29,95.
