Do Ipods only use Itunes to add music?

Well, to answer your question very directly, no, you don't necessarily need iTunes to add music to your iPod; there are many alternative ways of doing so, for example, the iPod plugin for Winamp. I hate iTunes and its invasive memory footprint, so this is how I did it when I actually used my iPod. Although, your question seems to assume that iTunes would force you to buy music in order to put it on your iPod. You can still use iTunes and use it to load all of the hundreds of CDs you've already pirated. :D It gives you the option to purchase things from the iTunes store, but I don't see any point in doing so; if I'm paying for music, I want something tangible, not crappy 128kbps AAC files. And of course, I've pirated a lot more music than you have, but please try your best to heed the digital pirates' honor code and purchase any music that you find you really like. I have tens of thousands of MP3s, and I listen to maybe a few hundred of them on a regular basis. These are the albums that I have bothered to purchase, and I can say I never would have found them had I not pirated them first.

I use a program called isyncr to sync my music from iTunes. You can sync specific playlists.

I don't own an ipod. But the only input is from the small end of the standard USB cable. I am not aware of any dapter that would do accomplish this. However, I would assume you be able to use iTunes straight from the computer . The nicest function of the gb-10 for me is that you can actually upload the music right to the unit, which kind of makes it your ipod. The sound is great also.

Itunes only allows to sync to one computer at a time. As far as the cd question goes, to transfer music to any apple product you need to first transfer the songs to iTunes an use their software to transfer the songs to your iPod.

Well, there won't be problems, you will just have to sync your ipods manually. That will allow you to have all of your songs on itunes, but only pick and choose which ones go onto the ipod. This is if you have itunes 7.... when you plug your ipod in that little ipod page will pop up. click the box that says "manually manage ipod". With that you will have to click and drag songs you want on your ipod.... yes yes its annoying, but it works. For any other version of itunes, go to "edit" then "preferences". You should see a tab that says "ipod". Click that then there should be something that says "manually manage ipod". Ive got itunes 7... but i think that should be where it is for any other version. What might make it easier is if you create separate playlists for you and your sister. Then you could just drag the whole playlist onto your ipod. Hope this helped!

The app is on your screen and when you activate it it brings up iTunes. I use Windows 7, however I have never purchased anything this way. I have an iTunes account and all my music/podcasts/etc are on my PC in iTunes and I periodically backup my iPod 3rd gen by a cable

Don't know if you "have to" use iTunes. I did because it's where all my music is located.

Any musuc I download whether through itunes or not can be added to my itunes library and in turn added to the ipod shuffle. In fact most songs I have were purchased through Napster or some place similar.

I can't say...I have both Media Player and I Tunes on my computer so I use Media Player to sync. I think I tunes is proprietary about their stuff, but since you can buy tunes from them it might tolerate something besides an I pod or I phone...sorry, I don't know for sure.

I don't think that iTunes works very well with non-Ipod MP3 players. You can use the iTunes software for Windows to convert to MP3 format but from what I have read the sound quality is not too good. I found this website that provides a good tutorial on iTunes.www.dynamicwebs.com.au/tutorials/iTunes-help.htm I hope this helps.

It does not require an iPod, you can use a USB flash drive with music on it and it will play just fine. or you can connect whatever device of your choosing to it via USB.

With any iPod you have to first install iTunes on a personal computer. Then you load you cd into your iTunes program. Then you plug your iPod into the PC and download your music files. So the answer is yes.

Sorry unfortunately you will need to use iTunes. All Apple products require it. However you can just drag and drop within itunes to it... Good luck

You can't sync with Itunes. Itunes only syncs with IOS devices. You can use Itunes to convert your music to MP3 and copy it to this player. Barry

I have heard there might be some third party software that you can use, but I think the easiest and best way is to add your windows media player items to iTunes and then sync the iPod.

Yes, all iPods are compatible with Windows 8.1 (I am using Windows 8.1) and use the iTunes software to manage music.
