We haven't played with this yet but it looks pretty promising. Those of you that struggle with Apple's rather restrictive practices when it comes to taking your music that is on your iPod to another machine, might want to check out the freeware package, SharePod. An intuitive utility for the iPod, iTouch and iPhone, SharePod gives you a myriad of file management capabilities that enable you to backup, share and change the presentation of your media. In other words, where there's a will, there's a way...

And from SharePod's creators

SharePod is easy to use and works! Here’s some of the main features:

Add & remove music and videos from your iPod

Add, remove and edit playlists

Add & remove album art

Copy music, videos and playlists from your iPod to PC

Import music/videos into your iTunes library, including playlists and ratings \

Tag editing

Drag n' drop to and from Explorer

Simple, clean interface

Quick to load and use with no unnecessary complicated features

And what’s more, SharePod is completely free! SharePod was designed from the start to be lightweight, quick and responsive, it has all (well hopefully most...!) of the features you need and none of the features you don’t.

With SharePod at our disposal, we might even consider using Apple's glorified MP3 player. Download SharePod for the PC, here.
