Sharepod is by far my favorite software for any ipod of 2008. This program is a single .exe file that you can place on your ipod (must setup iPod to be managed as a hard drive so it shows up in your drive list when plugged in) and manager all your music from any PC. This software will allow you to backup (copy selected songs from iPod to a computer) or add (send songs to your iPod without itunes). Through this program you can search for specific songs, and also manage playlists. This program is like all the goodness of iTunes minus the music playback ability which has been modified to run from a single EXE file on your iPod. This program frees up your iPod to be used anywhere… no more waiting 4 hours for iTunes to download on your mother-in-laws computer, just transfer this file over and start adding music. This is by far a better method of transfering music than How to get songs off your iPod using itunes (unless you don’t have this program).
