| Looking for an alternative to itunes, I have an old but perfectly working ipod classic 80GB (not used in a few years) and in no way do I want itunes on this machine,so.... Any lightweight prog will do as long as it can transfer from PC to ipod classic. Most of my searches are telling me to use Media Monkey, but thought I'd ask our community first for their opinions on what's best to use. Thanks TGx'ers :o) | |

| Devices Edit Can I sync my iPod / iPhone / iPad with MusicBee? Edit Short answer: not directly. Due to Apple's proprietary software, most iPods and iPhones are not directly supported by MusicBee. For iPhone/iPod Touch, only iOS 3.11 or below is supported. Steven, the developer, says: "Even for the same iPod model, particular (longer) serial numbers don't work with MusicBee. Also I think if the iPod has been formatted with iTunes 11 (and maybe the last of the 10 series) it causes problems with MB." Some forum members have successfully synced iPod Classics. Please consult the forum for help. However, You can use the iPod & iPhone Driver plugin to sync your iPhone/iPod (requires iTunes to be installed, but plugin will launch iTunes automatically in background). Another way to sync iDevice is to use Sync Links plugin in conjunction with any of various 3d party iDevice managers (e.g. CopyTrans Manager or EaseUS MobiMover). You can also do it by exporting your library or one or more playlists from MusicBee and importing it into iTunes. The music files themselves do not need to be copied. See How to Sync MB library/playlists to iPod/iPhone Using iTunes. | |

| Personally i wouldnt describe mediamonkey as lightweight. but i would say WinX MediaTrans & PhoneTrans are worth a look (i have never used them) | |
