Loading iTunes proves to be an annoying process you'd ever encounter if you use a low end computer... just imagine you need to transfer a few tracks to your ipod, its not worth of waiting itunes load up the whole crap..
Thanks to Sharepod,
www.getsharepod.comThis little free app support the ipod touch and iphone and not just ipods that support disk mode(1st gen to nano 5g).. everything was smooth from the beginning the app was being loaded to the end of the process(ejecting the ipod).
list of thing that sharepod can do;
1. copy tracks to ipod
2.edit, add playlist
3.capable af editing ID3 metatag(artwork, lyric, album,etc...)
4.capable of playing tracks on your ipod.
5.view photos
6.copy all content in your ipod to pc.
i think it is more than enough(well, not all)..
Driver for the iphone or ipod touch is not compiled with the sharepod, dunno why.but maybe copyright issue or to keep the software as light as possible to be downloaded.. this means that you still need to install itunes. anyway, you still gonna use it sometimes because sharepod still does not support application syncing.
