One caveat we noticed is when we tried to copy media to an iPod Touch running iOS 4.1 we received the following error. The two components you need are the iPod Manager and Nero AAC Codec. To get it working with your iPod you’ll need to install a couple of free components to get it to sync up, but once you do it works very well. They also offer a standalone version that you can use on your iPod and listen to your music on any computer without having to authorize it via iTunes.įoobar2000 is a personal favorite because it’s light on system resources and is a fully customizable player. You can also listen to the music through your computer with your iPod or iOS device plugged in. It’s lightweight and works nice for managing your music collection without iTunes. You can add and delete music, videos, podcasts, and more. We were then able to add playlists to CopyTrans Manager and sync them with the iPod. After a quick and easy install, it will launch and is ready for you to connect your iPod, iPod Touch / iPhone. This is a free app that will let you transfer your songs from your computer to an iPod, iPod Touch, or iPhone out of the box.
