There is an alternative to i Tunes if you don't want to go down that road. It's called Media Monkey and is a free download (there is a gold version but that is chargeable). It will scan your PC for music and them to the library. Connect your i Pod and then you can "drag and drop" like any other file. This is the only other media player that will let you add/remove tracks or albums to/from an i Pod.Would add however, that you still need to have i Tunes installed.Seems a roundabout way of doingt things but it is a very goodmedia player.Hope this helps.
