Here's a question. My girlfriend bought me an iPod Shuffle. How can I add music to it without using iTunes?

don't think you can...

Can someone confirm this before I tell my girlfriend to take back her communist mp3 player?

[KyleLs1]

are you against itunes for some reason?

my very first ipod used musicmatch jukebox (before itunes was invented)
and you MAY be able to use windows media player, it has an option to connect a device but i have never tried it.

No. I love iTunes. I've used it for years to organize and play my MP3's.

I just want to use something that doesn't tell me the iPod is corrupt out of the box or perfectly fine. Those to responses it gives me switch back and forth each time I connect it. It's worse than the moods of a pregnant woman. That is, when it detects it at all.

It tells you that its corupt? WTF?
Im pretty sure it only works with Itunes

Yep. It tells me its corrupt and that I need to restore it. It gives me a restore option. Then it tells me there is an unknown error and erases it from existance on iTunes AND the computer, and I can't even see it until I unplug and plug it in again.

you may want to try and update your version of iTunes on your computer.

I hate my iPod simply because I have to use iTunes, it is the most backwards ass music program I have ever used, I HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!!! Next time I hear a apple fan boy jackass bragging about user compatability, or how apple's are so much easier to use, I am gonna smack the shit outta him. The next time that damn program erases all of my music (over 2000 songs) from my iPod I am gonna send my iPod back to apple in pieces and go buy a Zune.

My iTunes needs reinstalling once in a while, and I dont know how to fix it...Another thing it does is upload all the songs into iTunes whenever I put in a CD. Automatically does it, every time, even if it's been uploaded befroe. Pain in the ass.

But other than that, it's pretty easy...

thats cuz the first time you did it, you checked the box "don't ask me again" or whatever so it saved your preference.

iTunes is easy as shit to use, yes it is backward-ass compared to others like someone said earlier but once you figure it out, you wonder how you ever did without it. The fact is, the program is SO simple that it seems hard.

It's not apples fault some people can't figure out their easy ass program.. please no one "smack the shit outta me" for saying that but it's true... i hated it at first but once you stop thinking like it's going to be so complicated and just take a step back... it's all there right in front of you.

Do it!! I just moved from the 80GB iPod to the 16GB iPod Touch and it is freakin' awesome!! I wish it had more storage space, but it probably makes me a better organizer.....

It is worth the loss of storage space for the advantages..... widescreen, touchscreen and Wi-Fi!!!
