I know nowadays the ipods are only good for usb storage, which i didnt know existed. It is a feature in itunes to open up the device to storage likely to limit ewaste. just as the iphones are glorified mini ipads, ipods are glorified usb flash drives these days. If you dont want to use itunes then your pretty much stuck to storage like a flash drive. its only 2gb and 8gb but its better than nothing i suppose.

Actually iPods are more often used for music playback and podcasts. USB storage was a convenience feature that removed capacity for music storage and was not often used as thumb drives are readily available with less overhead.

There have been alternatives to iTunes, and there are several 3rd party software companies that provide music management with the iPod.

I have a co-worker that uses their Nano 3 daily at work and driving. I used my Nano 7 for driving until 2 years ago. Several people post here trying to get their large iPods to connect to modern iTunes (yes it works).
