How to put songs onto ipod without itunes?
I have a friend who has an ipod but she is unable to download itunes onto her computer. So is there a way to transfer songs from like a folder to your ipod? Sort of like how a regular MP3 works.

ok geez here is a phew things that might help.
- Every time iTunes uses Sync for an iPod all
current music removed, and the new is added.
So it's easier making play lists and adding what's already on there.
- All music is hidden inside folders that are also hidden on the iPod.
Meaning if you want to keep the music, or move it so it can be added back to iTunes and also added to the playlist you want on your iPod that way you don't lose the music already on there just do this:
(by the way sorry if that was confusing.)
Open your iPod via My Computer:>iPod Name
at the top of the window should be Search
click it. Then
- All files and folders
- More advanced options
tick the following:
- Search system folders
- Search hidden files and folders
- Search sub flders
- Case sensitive
- Search tape backup
you really only need the top 3 but do it anyway.
Click search and you will get all the music on the iPod but all songs will have random lettering and numeral names like EXK34A.mp3
just copy them all to the PC, and add them to iTunes and your music is safe.
A little long but i hope it helps.
Best regards

Nup sorry but you can't.
You can't even gove other people your songs (i tried this with my friend)which i know is stupid.
and don't try using her ipod on ur computer's ituenes (if you have it) and don't let her try it on anyone elses either cos all your music will kinda sync together or replace the old music that was stored on the computer.
it's confusing
but you can copy the program itunes onto a cd or memory stick, put the saved itunes program on her computer and then she will have a copy of itunes
easy!
and i know that this works cos my dad did this himself

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Software is always required to transfer songs to an iPod. You can't just drag and drop like you can with every other mp3 player.
It's possible to use the iPod without iTunes, but you must use iTunes at least once to make some changes. If you can't use iTunes at least once, then the iPod is as useful as a brick.
If you can use iTunes at least once (from a different computer, perhaps), do everything in the "requirements" section here:

Copy one song (it need not be bought it the iTunes store) and follow the three manual steps.
If your friend borrows someone else's computer to do the above steps, it is vital that the computer doesn't already have iTunes installed. If it does, iTunes will synchronize the iPod and both people will probably end up losing a significant amount of data.
After that, you can uninstall iTunes and never use it again, on any computer. Here are some alternatives:
