I love my ipod, the capacity and cover flow for my music, but I am getting tired of itunes. For the past week I have been going around and around, it will not let me load albums into it, I keep getting "failed to copy to music, the required file is in use" error message, & it is leaving out half of the album artwork.
I am a visual person, & I like to see album art both on my desktop, & on my ipod. Are there any decent alternatives to itunes, where I can use on my mac or windows, & sync to my ipod.
I have looked online, & a few names have come up; songbird, sonora, winamp, & media monkey.
so far, it seems media monkey is a fairly good replacement for itunes, from what I have read online. I downloaded the free standard version, and did a test sync of some of my music to my ipod, & it seemed to work. I have yet to figure out how to make multiple selections & sync more than one album at a time, doing it this way would take me a long time. I also have yet to figure out how to select all the songs in an album for editing instead of doing each track at a time.
Media monkey seems ok, but am still undecided as I have not used it extensively yet.
If it were not for the capacity of the ipod classic, & its visual cover flow, I would probably use a different digital audio player.
Any suggestions?
