my dad just sent me an ipod shuffle for my bday.

i'm i newb to this ipod craze, and i dont really understand the true concepts, even though i'm not totally clueless.

i'm just wonderin if i can use something other than Itunes because i have only have windows ME.

if something like this has been posted than i'm sorry. i did use the search thing, so please dont get pissed or annoyed at me.

I think you can also use MusicMatch Jukebox. Apple doesn't support the iPod on Win ME, but you might be able to get it to work with MM Jukebox.

If your on ME it might want to think up going to XP or something. I don't think the new MM 10 works on ME, I don't know I have yet to try it. I know the older version of MM has a iPod plugin for it......

k il try mm jukebox. do you think theres any ither program that might poss. work.

well, if it doesnt work i'm willing to spend my cash, but gah!

i googled some stuff and found this forum that said that ME can use these for ipod:

MusicMatch
XPlay
Anapod
EphPod
WinAmp plugin
and many many others

do any of you guys know of these?

I'm familiar with EphPod. It's a pretty good little program if you are unable to use iTunes, and fairly simple to use.
