So, my girlfriend got an 80gig ipod for christmas. I have a creative zen player and i am in love with the software its provided on my computer.
I refuse to let her install itunes on my desktop (as ive heard it'll take over my current software and change the way my files are, and generally try to take over.)
If i made her, her own account, on windows xp, and she could upload itunes on it. Would this effect me at all?
Or, is there a way to NOT use itunes to load music onto an ipod?

http://amarok.kde.org/ is best if you ever decide to get a real operating system.

Especially the new state of the art DRM system they added to version 11. Upgrade quick!

Yes sarcasm. The new media player adds technology to restrict what you can do with media and nothing else.

I had trouble with amarok. Actually fairly embarrassing trouble. I couldnt get it to recognize the ipod. I know theres a simple mount command, I could probably figure it out now I guess, hopefully, but when I tried it many months ago I couldnt figure it out.
