A friend asked me if there was an alternative to iTunes - I heard that you could put your music also with WinAmp on the iPod - is it true?
And else, he heard a rumour that there is a programm that can make the iPod play MP3s !?!?!?!? is this true?
thanx, kay

It is true that you can use WinAmp with the iPod (might require a plug-in first)
Also, the iPod should automatically play MP3s once you add it to the iTunes library...it does for me

You can also try anapod, or ephpod. These two are for PC - is that what you are using? Those programs function much like iTunes,in that they organize your music for you, but with the added advantage (now here's the secret naughty bit!) of allowing you to transfer songs from your iPod BACK into your PC.

Why not just use iTunes?

I dunno, my friend is against it; no clue.
I meant like using the iPod as a normal mp3 player - a hard disk. just drag and drop the mp3's on it.
would that work too?

Oh you mean a normal CD? iTunes should let you import from the CD into the library and from there to the iPod
Sorry if I'm still misunderstanding...

Okay - Kay, you're a little confused on the ipod's two main functions. Firstly - it IS a hard disk. You CAN copy and paste files (including mp3s) onto it like you would a portable hard drive - this is possible. I do it all the time to transport small documents, my resume, showreel, etc around. If I find myself in a job interview or somewhere where I have the opportunity to show off my work - I have it on me. Secondly: it was originally designed by Apple to work with iTunes, so you don't have to worry about organizing your songs into the appropriate album and song folders - it does that for you, if you're connected to the 'net, by scouring the IMDB for the song tiltes and other info. But: formatting your iPod to just work as a hard drive is a BAD idea. It has its own BIOS and boot up programs, which flash the ipod whenever you run your updater, or install your software for the first time. For further info, go to: www.ilounge.com/It is a forum full of iPod boffins who like nothing more than play with their iPods. You can pick up all sorts of useful info there. |
