This overview details the features (with screenshots) of 10 different programs other than iTunes to manage your iPod. Tutorials are included for every program, and they’re all either free or Open Source.
If you’ve been wondering why I’ve been writing so many “How to use XYZ to manage your iPod” tutorials lately, now you know why.
Name Supported Platforms Amarok Banshee Floola gtkpod MediaMonkey Rhythmbox SharePod Songbird Winamp YamiPod.

Floola Homepage: http://www.floola.com/modules/wiwimod/ About: Floola includes the following features: Cross platform (works on any Windows (98 and above), any Mac and any linux distribution with GTK installed), Portable (put the application on iPod and launch it on any PC), add and extract songs to and from your iPod, integrated with Last.fm, add artwork to your songs easily, lyric support even on older iPods (3G and above), Videos can be added to iPod, Growl support (Mac only), Tutorials: Floola installation FAQs Notes: Floola was the only of the 10 iTunes alternatives that I couldn’t personally test. Floola (at this time) requires that iTunes 7.3 has never touched your iPod (works with iTunes 7.2 and lower), and sadly 7.3 is the version of iTunes that’s on all of my computers. Update: floola now works w/ iTunes 7.3.1. But I can’t test it right away as I no longer have direct access to an iPod. But when I do, I’ll update this post accordingly.
gtkpod Homepage: http://www.gtkpod.org/about.html About: gtkpod is a platform independent Graphical User Interface for Apple’s iPod using GTK2. It supports the first to fifth Generation including the iPod mini, iPod Photo, iPod Shuffle, iPod nano, and iPod Video. gtkpod includes the following features: Read your existing iTunesDB, add MP3, WAV, M4A (non-protected AAC), M4B (audio book), podcasts, and various video files, view, add and modify cover art, sync directories, detect duplicates when adding songs, and much more.

Winamp Homepage: http://www.winamp.com About: Winamp includes the following features: frankly there are too many to list, so visit their features page. It does pretty much anything you can think of. But I don’t think Winamp supports cover-art – unless there’s a plugin for it, which there probably is. Winamp has been my default media player in Windows since 1997 (it finally replaced Winplay3). As a completely unrelated but ‘fun’ side note, the very first version of ICY for Linux (now known as SHOUTcast, the streaming audio software) was compiled on my computer because Justin didn’t have a Linux machine at the time.

What about Ephpod?
Great list, it’s a shame there aren’t much solutions for OSX.
I think you should say that Amarok runs on OS X, personally I use it everyday without problems and it can be compiled automatically with Fink, no messing around, quite “simple”: http://6v8.gamboni.org/-Amarok-with-OS-X-.html.
Actually I really did want to include Rockbox but the only iPod I have access to is an iShuffle, which isn’t supported by RB. With any luck when my roommate comes back from his vacation he’ll let me install Rockbox on his and I’ll do some kind of tutorial/overview on it.
What is the song playing during the Floola screencast?
Umm, how the hell did ml_ipod not make this list? Winamp’s iPod support is the product of ml_ipod’s programmer being bought out by Nullsoft.
Currently ml_ipod has better support, more features (including video and cover art), better browsing, native transcoding, and a host of other nicer things than Winamp’s stock iPod plugin.
And it’s open source.
I support Noah I installed Rockbox on my Nano over a year ago and have never looked back. Real MP3 players support drag and drop of files.
Anapod from Red Chair. great software, though a bit of a hassle to import a very large library.
hello … yeah … some times its really messy to use iTunes to manage one’s iPod … was wondering if they had any alternatives for macOS X … now that you’ve listed a few … will check them out … great article … thanks for sharing …
Big thumbs up for Sharepod. It’s ideal for people who just want to manually move tracks from PC to iPod and back again. It makes an iPod as easy to copy files as a plain old USB PMP or a PFS PMP. And zero install with Sharepod on the iPod Disk area is the icing on the cake. The one catch is when your iPod ends up in Sync mode after being removed without being ejected. You need iTunes to clear the flag.
Maybe I’m weird (probably) but I don’t want sync. I just want to drag and drop individual directories and files. The classic problem is Y Gb of music on your PC and only X Gb available on your iPod. It’s horribly laborious to define 300 sync folders out of your 500 on the PC in almost every ipod management software. And especially in iTunes.
Big thumbs up also for Winamp. Such a shame there isn’t an exact clone of Winamp 5 Pro on Linux. Or alternatively that Winamp 5 Pro ran under WINE. Amarok is neat but it’s persistently buggy. And after 10 years of Winamp some of the features seem odd and counter intuitive.
Most of the programs here are for Linux only or at least originally made for Linux. For a Windows list, check this http://ipodmanagers.blogspot.com/ out.
You forgot another nice tool, called reTune, which also allows you to manage your iPod through Windows Explorer.
Pretty basic even, it just syncs the content on your iPod to Apple’s gibberish iTunesDB format :)
I just finished writing a small article about how to use it: http://blog.cumps.be/manage-ipod-through-windows-explorer/
I have tried many of these softwares including anapod (not mensioned here) but many of them as some short comings especialy on video support. Now I am using floola everyday with my ipod. and it is very stable and easier to use than itunes. They are updating frequently to support new itunes versions and adding new features. For example on 1.5 version now they have added builtin transconverting different file types for i pod. Now you can add youtube videos to your ipod with one click :)
floola looked great, I hope to test it (soon) now that it supports iTunes 7.3.1.
Do anyone know if these programs work with a motorola v3i cellphone that has iTunes player?
Floola is terrible. Been trying it for a couple of months now and it’s just plain broken. Good for getting out your MP3’s out of the iPod, but for everything else you’re better off with iTunes.
Vpod is another alternative…A very skeleton interface but gets the job done with no frills.
iTunes is the only ipod interface that allows me to adjust the start and stop times for songs. Or is there another ? This is the only function I need itunes for otherwise I would love to use another.
Is there one where you could pictures??
I used Floola to load music at work for a while. It has more bugs than a flophouse apartment. Incredibly unstable; constantly displaying error messages (some of which made no sense); most irritating, however, is the fact that the order of the tracks displayed by the program is NOT the order of the tracks on the iPod. Every time I updated my iPod and reordered the tracks, they would inevitably be in a random order with no resemblance to the one I’d chosen. Terrible software.
You forgot the best program for ipod – PoddoX.
Well, I’m really into finding alternative ways of adding music into an Ipod…
But I am really concerned about something:
At first, I have tried the Floola. I could add songs and I really liked the program. It seems very useful and complete. Nevertheless, while using some options, Ive noticed that MOST OF MY ARTWORK WERE SITCHED. I was hearing U2 and seeing Madonna’s artwork. I was really freak out. Imediatly then, Ive tried Yamipod, which worked fine, and I didnt notice any artwork damage to my Ipod. A few days later… my Ipod started to work unproperly. My playlists were not working fine, and I coulnd simply select a song and play it. It was working, but seemingly with remarkable malfunctioning.
Then I wanna know if something like that has ever happenned to any of you. I’m not near the main Itunes from which I sync my music and thus I need to use some of these alternative programs..
Glad for your help. remobra_amigo(at)hotmail(dot)com.
Great article, you ROCK. tnx.
I tried using Songbird, but it constantly froze up and I finally had to delete it from system.
can i use Windows media player to add music to my ipod?
Anapod is GREAT! Does cover art etc. Pretty much does everything I need.
tried gtkpod, works amazing.. thnx alot.
Forget all that. ROCKBOX is much better.
I recently bought a 160 GB capacity ipod. The reason was that the price per GB of storage was pretty cheap. I also have an enormous amount of music – well over the 160 GB of the ipod. My computer is a macbook pro with a hard drive capacity of 150GB – slightly less than the ipod, so I have to use the ipod in manual disk management mode. In this mode, you cannot add folders to the ipod in itunes, something which I have to do because of the vast amount of music which I have and the necessity to organise the music effectively. You can only add folders to the ipod by first introducing them into the main itunes library and then synchronising the ipod. Unfortunately, syncing the ipod causes you to lose everything on the ipod to be replaced with the (much smaller) library on the computer.
I have found that you can use the ipod as a storage for files without losing them, even though I am synchronising the ipod with the computer, and you are warned before syncing that you will lose all music from your ipod. First, I dowloaded my music in manageable tranches from the ipod to the computer using Senuti. I then transferred these files directly from the main itunes library to the ipod (in disk management mode), and then deleted the files from the library, hence leaving plenty of space on the hard disk.
Having transferred all my music from itunes to the hard disk of the ipod, I was able to create all the folder I needed (including some spares) in itunes, and transfer these folders (and sub-folders) to the ipod by syncing. Then, switching back to manual disk management mode, I transferred all my music directly from the ipod disk storage to the ipod music playing side.
This use of Senuti for downloading the files, and use of the ipod to store the files has provided a very effective management technique for the high capacity ipod, and hopefully will be of use to others.
