I just purchased my first apple product and have never heard anything good about itunes. I am going to be using the bluetooth feature a lot and want something light and easy to use. (will draw as little power as possible)

I've downloaded copytrans, but it still wants me to put itunes on. The nano is brand new and doesn't have anything on it. Can I put something simple and light on it without it ever having itunes?

I know way back in the day I used an alternative with my iPod Color. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, though. Let me do some digging and see if I can remember (and if it still exists). An added bonus of it was that it allowed you to recover your library FROM the iPod when needed, which iTunes won't do (or, at least, wouldn't back then).

Sorry...I've been looking all over and can't manage to remember what it was. However, in my searches, I did run across this page:

Sounds like there are a lot of options for what you're trying to do.
