I'm looking for a replacement for iTunes, as every time I try to transfer music to my iPod through iTunes, sooner or later it hits a random song, doesn't matter what, and gives me a error either -53 or -69, which ends up making all the music ON my iPod not be playable. Sometimes it even freezes during the transfer, so I can't etg my music on it.

Anyone have any ideas?

I had a Zune, but it was a 80 gig, and the quality of the make was terrible. It was a great mp3 player, but without any EQ settings, and the fact that after it fell one foot, and got set on lock permanantly, eh. Screen cracks really easily too, with no pressure.

I got a 80 gb iPod for free from a friend who moved away, and iTunes is just terrible. I've reformatted my iPod 4 different times. It just randomly stopped working.

I found a program called Sharepod though, and os far it seems to be working, only time will tell.

Try resetting your iPod before you make a full switch to a different program. It sounds like an issue with the pod unless iTunes gives you trouble in other situations?

iTunes is horrible if you're running windows. but that doesnt explain why your iPod is fucking up. it HAS to be that your iPod itself is fucked up. Just get a new one, and use foobar2000, its by far the best program.

Yeah WinAmp too, there's an add-on, but it's a bit buggy I felt. Once after a sync my iPhone ended up crashing everytime I scrolled past the letter D in artist names so I ended up having to reset it and re-sync with iTunes. That was kind of annoying.

Even if you're not experiencing any problems iTunes, I strongly suggest you switch to either WinAmp or foobar2000. It's just a better program.

correction: Itunes is great. Itunes along with ipod is the biggest selling and most successful portable mp3 player on the market.. zune is like 1/5th as big as ipod is.
I mean, sorry to hear about ur troubles w/ ur itunes and ur ipod and im not sure what might be wrong with it.. i've never really came across a problem that serious before.. nothing that couldn't be cured with a little research.

hope u find a good, well working alternative to itunes or at least, try to start all over w/ a new itunes version w/ a reformatted ipod (u dont have to lose all ur music to do this and is worth a shot)

ITunes/Windows *is* clunky. It can be a nice music organizer, but it is not the snappiest program. It is good enough if all you want is to buy or sync music, but it is not the ideal everyday player on Windows.

iTunes/mac is a other story.

You can always use something else to play music. Before switching to mac I used to drag-and-drop my music files into iTunes, then sync. iTunes will not reorganize he files on your collection if you unchecked the appropriate setting.

Itunes is terrible.

I had to reformat my computer last week, and since the new Itunes account on this computer is the new primary, it wants to sync my Ipod to it. Currently, my computer has zero songs on it - my Ipod has everything..... So you can guess what it wants to do to the music on my Ipod..... And you can't go the other way around unless the song was bought off of the Itunes site.....

I'll say it again. Itunes is terrible. WMP is so much better, but you can't use it for an Ipod.....

iTunes is awful. Absolutely awful. Just because the ipod sells more, does not mean its better. I mean, look at the MAC, or a fucking iPad. LOL.

I'm hoping sharepod will work. Its still loading music onto my iPod. I have no money for another though.

First try reformatting your ipod. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest songbird. It uses the exact same interface as itunes but is waaaayyyy better and customizable.It has ipod support through an add-on.

I'd agree. I'm an iTunes user myself, but Songbird is a really sweet program.

WMP is so much better than iTunes for me, since I don't like having such a huge library.
Though it does seem like you need to reformat your iPod. Have you tried calling the manufacturers?
