So I just got this Ipod...

How do I put music on it, sans iTunes?
I can't get the new version of iTunes to run on my CPU, and it says that I cannot use my iPod w/out the new version.
There must be another way to do this?
My old MP3 player was a Phillips HDD, and I could just drag and drop files from different folders, and as a result I'm completely unfamiliar with all of this technology.
Someone have an easy to use program that I can use to add music to the iPod?

As far as I know you can only use Itunes to put music on the damn things...which totally sucks. I hate Apple. I'm sure there's some nerd/hack way to do it without Itunes. I just don't know how.

Yeah, I know where to find iTunes.
I have the old version on my computer, but when I plug in my iPod it tells me that I need the brand-spanking new version to access the iPod, and THAT version is the one that doesn't work.
Appreciate the help though.
If I can't get this to work, I may just take the thing back.
If they'll accept it.

Even though Apple SUCKS they do have pretty friendly support and customer service. They'll refund if things won't work.

I just got the new 8GB Nano Video.
I'm not really interested in the video, I just need something small that I can put under my gear out on the runway at work.

Apple supports all Apple shit. Walk into an Apple store and they'll try to help you even if you didn't buy it from them. Will they refund...of course not. Will they sit with you and try to figure it out? Yep.

Well, I mean, I'm sure the fucking thing works.
It turns on and all that.
Its just, if I'm going to have to something really stupid to get music on it I'm not going to keep it.
If I have to...
1) DL Music or burn CD's at home 2) Transfer music to Flash Drive 3) Take Flash drive to the Mac lab at school 4) Put it on the Ipod there
I'm not going to do that.

Thats what I'm looking for.
Sounds moderately difficult, but I'll attempt it tomorrow.
I'm so Computer-Incompetent.
Its funny, because I run samples all day here at school on our FTIR, which is our Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy machine, but I can't figure out how to use an iPod.

Doesn't look that hard...
Just enable your iPod as a removable drive (link) and then install one of the other softwares for an iPod (the site recommends Floola).

I'm 99% sure I won't be able to do that.
Its asking me to go into iTunes to set my iPod up as a drive.
But iTunes isn't recognizing my iPod.
That is the whole problem with using iTunes.

I know there's several programs to do this easily thru linux, but if you're not good with computers that's probably not an option...

Last time I used an ipod, I googled and found a single file which turned the entire device into "drag and drop".
That was a year or two ago though on a cheaper ipod shuffle.
