Sync program other than iTunes

I just purchased an iPod touch. My children have cheap MP3 players. I do not want to manage multiple music libraries and playlists. Is there any other sync option for the touch? Can I add a plugin to WMP and sync a touch? Can I download and use another mp3 manager?

Can I download and use another mp3 manager?
No.
You may be able to find something to add music, but nothing except iTunes can add Apps, sync your contacts, calendars, notes, email accounts, settings, perform backups, perform firmware updates, access the iTunes Store, access the AppStore, download videos, movies, games, manage your account, etc. etc.
Maybe just buy your children cheaper iPods and manage them all in iTunes?

  • Sync with music program other than itunes

    How do I sync music to my ipod nano using a music program other than itunes. Please tell me the easiest way. I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks

    Maybe it might help if you told us what the other "music program" is?

  • Can Ipot beoperated with any other program other than itunes?

    I would really love to use my IPod. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I remove itunes and reinstall it, I get this message:
    The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    Since I can't get any help from anyone at Apple without purchasing it (and I don't feel I should have to purchase help for a malfunction in a program), does anyone know if I can download books, etc., on to my ipod using something other than itunes.
    Thanks.

    As Katrina suggested, see try Media Monkey. For more info, see this article => Music Organizer MediaMonkey Runs Rings Around iTunes.

  • How do I choose a podcast program OTHER than iTunes

    My iTunes has gone all flukey and I don't know yet what is wrong with it. I have posted about it in other threads.
    I'd like to find it out if it IS iTunes itself (like, maybe I need to reinstall it?) or if it's something else (for example, the Winsock catalog fix that I tried did NOT work).
    But I don't know how to find another "podcatcher" program.....when I Google and find a list of them, the descriptions are all so geeky I don't know what the heck to pick! I just want to be able to download something (for example one of my video podcasts) in this other program, and import it into iTunes library. That way I could see where the error lies.
    Do I NEED a podcatcher program? Is there any other way to download a podcast?
    I am also having technical problems with downloading shows (it took me 6 re-starts of the computer to get the whole Lost episode; it boots me totally offline), so it's not just podcasts.
    thanks

    This question is no longer relevant. I now have a wonderful MacBook Pro and am happy using iTunes

  • Ways to stream audio from programs other than iTunes?

    Ok, the only way I have heard of doing this is with Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil program, which costs $25. Is there any other way to work around this for free? I think it's not worth me going out and buying a $100 product and then having to pay $25 for a feature that should be integrated. Anyways, ideas? Thanks for your time.

    Sorry but Airfoil is the way to do it.

    Not currently. Mountain Lion will bring this functionality, provided your iMac is Mid 2011 or later, when it releases later this month.

  • Taking recommendations for good sync/backup program (other than Time Machine)

    Hello everyone,
    I'm on the lookout for a good file synchronization program (other than Time Machine) which I can use to make one-way backups of specific subdirectories. The ideal program would do the following:
    1) Do one-way synchronization of user-selectable subdirecotries within a directory A to directory B either on same hard drive or on external hard drive
    2) Can be set up to make sure that B has the exact subdirectories/files as A, deleting any that are not present in A and adding anything that is added to A or anything that has been changed in A
    3) Will not generate useless junk files that require me to manually clean up after them
    4) Will not alter files and directories in A in any way
    5) Will be inexpensive
    6) Will not interfere with Time Machine, which I already use to backup multiple volumes to a single external hard drive.
    I checked the App store first, but was disappointed that all three apps had mixed reviews, and none had recent reviews attesting to their efficacy (which I always interpret as a bad sign).
    I also did a quick search for third-party programs, but their websites will only have good reviews, so naturally I'm checking here first.
    Basically, I want this program so that I can use it to sychronize files to my Cloud (Box, Google Docs, Dropbox) directory to share with my friends, and also to make redundant backups of sensitive files to additional external hard drives not being utilized by Time Machine.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    CCC can be set up to copy just selected directories, or the entire disk.  It does not need to make a full clone (although a full clone is a good way to have*something* that functions in case of emergency).
    I take the approach of using a tool that can do much more than simple because it can do *that much more* in a pinch.
    I gave my best advice, and have not investigated in more specialized tools.
    Good luck to you.

  • What happens if i use a software other than itunes to transfer music?

    Hello people,
    Im new to apple and its softwares, tricks..etc.
    So the question is i purchased some stuff from itunes i would like to have in phone and i also have loads of music in my pc that were taken from old cds etc...after my research i noticed there is a itune match or someting that can allow you do that with a 25$/year cost which i agree is not much and  i might end up doing it  but i don't find it right to NOT HAVE FULL control over my stuff...so is there anyway to be able to transfer these old songs into iphone without using itunes without any risk or problem?

  • Any program other than safari won't detect internet

    any program other than safari won't detect internet eg. itunes, skype etc. I can't even system update.
    Safari has no problems and I can use the internet fine.
    Someone told me to check proxy settings and make sure "Use Passive FTP Mode" was ticked which it is...
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I urgently need to fix this and I can't get an appointment to see anyone until next week.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Kaan for your reply,
    Yes, Network does indicate that Airport is connected to the internet. Internet Explorer (OS X) connects instantly over the same network. Restarting Safari doesn't work. Waiting a few minutes doesn't work. Choosing a different web site to access doesn't work. Safari (1.3.1) has worked beautifully for months over this same network.
    Thanks again and Happy New Year.

  • AirTunes streaming with apps other than iTunes

    I love the Dashboard "Rabbit Radio" Widget, but why can't applications other than iTunes support AirTunes streaming? I 'd like to listen to Internet Radio through the $2000 sound system the computer is connected to (through the Airport Express). Dashboard, and other applications, need audio streaming capability, just like iTunes.
    It seems silly that we cannot do this. This also can be a problem with Safari as well, and other system-level or iLife applications...
    Also, the last time I checked, iTunes won't even stream music video or movie audio through AirTunes-connected speakers...

    Hi
    Airtunes is part of iTunes, it isnt really a stand alone app.
    If you dont mind paying a little, Airfoil is a great little app that allows you to stream from most other sources to your Airport Express.
    With regards to video/movie audio, it does tend to get out of sync when you stream to an AE!

  • Finding files on an iPod Classic that were added from somewhere other than iTunes

    I added files onto an iPod Classic from another source other than iTunes, but can't find that file on the iPod, either its not connected self, or when it is in iTunes.
    So, how do I go about locating the file without going back INTO iTunes and adding the file into iTunes' library?

    Hey thanks, Jim... Actually I do have a back up of my entire library on an external drive. Is the process just dragging the songs and albums from the Finder (from the external drive backup) onto the iPod when I plug it in to iTunes and they copy over? Is it possible to create new or update existing Playlists with this method? But is key is to never sync the iPod with iTunes or do I need to check Manually Manage Music & Videos?
    Or am I looking at this completely wrong. lol

  • My iTunes account is no longer showing my playlists or any of the music I have added from sources other than iTunes.

    I discovered that iTunes is no longer showing any of my playlists or music I have added from sources other than iTunes.  My iPod, which is a 4th Gen Classic, seems fine and has all of my playlists and music.  My question is how do I upload my iPod to iTunes so that I don't lose anything?  I have read a lot of posts about people having similar problems and most of them suggest restoring from an old saved file.  I have two problems with this approach 1) I do not have a current back-up and 2) it does not seem to work for any of my non-Apple purcahsed music.  Does anyone know of an easy way to fix this?

    I'd do a "deauthorize all" from a computer you have access to, and then reauthorise the computers you still have access to.
    For instructions, see the following document:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

  • Can you load songs with anything other than iTunes?

    I'm trying to re-install itunes after my PC collapse, but I can't and I really want to upload new music to my ipod, but I can't, can I use any other software other than iTunes? Cuz seriously, I don't know what's the problem with iTunes, but I can't install it.

    There is a lot of software for iPods that allow you to transfer music and more.
    There are things like anapod (http://www.redchairsoftware.com/anapod/featpw.php), ephpod (http://www.ephpod.com/), podplus(http://www.ipodsoft.com/index.php?/software/podplus),and even a winamp extension (http://www.mlipod.com/).
    They aren't hard to find, just search.
