I don’t like the iTunes software, it is slow and I only use it for copying files to my iPod, never for listening to tunes. I discovered a winamp plugin that gives you full access to your iPod without iTunes, the plugin is called Winamp Media Library iPod Plugin. Once installed it adds the support to Winamp full or pro. I had to upgrade to full before I was able to use this feature but it is well worth it.
Once the iPod is connected to the computer it is displayed with all its playlists, albums and files under devices in the media library, you can open the media library with ALT+L for instance. You are able to copy songs and videos from and to your iPod, search for songs, rate songs, edit songs and everything else that you could possibly think off.
The best thing is that this plugin recognizes almost every iPod that was ever released and works with Windows 98 upwards. So, if you are already using Winamp as your main audio player and you own and iPod you should give this plugin a try.
