is there any software that i can use to transfer files to my ipod without overwriting the original files on my ipod?
i just can seem to do tat on itunes as it overwrites my whole library..
i have some music that i got on my ipod before reformatting but now i've reformatted and i dont want to overwrite the music i have inside my ipod.
any software suggestions??

try yamipod

try media monkey
http://www.mediamonkey.com/

yala...everytime connect my ipod to pc,it will auto-sync(i-tunes) then my data seems like 'berterabur'...

which better between yamipod and mediamonkey?
mediamonkey seems more like itunes.. hmm

You can manage those Music/Video/Apps manually, just tick the manage music and video manually when you connected ur iPod touch.

You can try Xilisoft iPod Rip. I using this to manage the song in my iPod shuffle.

I use SharePod. A simple program to backup music from or copy music into your iPod.

if switch to other application to sync music..is it we can still use itunes? or itunes cannot detect our ipod & we need to restore back to sync with itunes?

What application do you intend to use? It might differ, but if you use MediaMonkey or Sharepod, you do not need to restore it back to factory setting (if that what you meant by 'restoring back').

However, when you sync your Ipod with other applications, the media library in your Ipod will be differ from the library in the itunes. If you open the itunes after you sync-ed with other applications (thus different library), itunes will let you know that your ipod library is differ from what you have in itunes and will ask you whether you want to sync back with itunes library. If you did, whatever changes you make in the ipod library with other application will be reverted back to itunes library.

The best thing if you did sync using other application than itunes (or even different itunes, like your frens itunes for example, you use Sharepod to make a copy of your ipod library into the computer. Then you can add that copy into your itunes library and sync it with your ipod afterwards.

sorry, if its too long.

you can get the sharepod here, Sharepod Website

hope that helps, pm me if u need more help

foobar2k is the alternative solution. Installed the ipod plugin and try to get to know it.

sharepod no longer works with os 3.0, hopefully they could update it. i hate slow itunes.

found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_iPod_managers

shame got pretty much no support for OS 3.0 right now apart from paid ones

Just curious... transfering songs in IPOD... is not that user friendly and troublesome... right? Thinking to get IPOD Shuffle... but heard some friends said its a headache to copy/delete songs in IPOD... any comments?

for the first time is hard but once you noe the method then everything will be easy!!!

then get china imitation ipod lor, can play almost every formats.....

Haha...geforce88 very funny hahahahahhhhaaa...

lol... yep...

well u can tried the manual way... enable the hard disk usage in itunes... then u can do like the drag and drop method...

if you are using mediamonkey for your ipods, do not install itunes 9, it will break the mediamonkey (fail to launch after itunes 9 installed).

can u explain a bit more on how to do it?
