Froddle Pod is an iTunes alternative and it's absolutely free. It certainly is not as feature rich as iTunes but it provides access to the main features that an iPod owner needs. It can copy music and videos from and to an iPod which is definitely the main and must reguired feature that any iTunes alternative should support.
The software can also backup and restore all data that is stored on an iPod. Another nice feature is music normalization for all or selected music on the iPod.
It supports the following iPod models currently: iPod Nano (all), iPod Mini (all), iPod Classic (3rd to 6th generation). No support for the Apple iPhone or iPod Touch yet.
The software did check for and download the Microsoft Visual J# Distributable which takes up 80 Megabytes of space on the hard drive.
Try it and tell other Everything 3.1 readers if you like it or not!
HappY SurfinG!!! (:
