google ephpod - should sort you out nice and easily

Another alternative is Winamp. There is a plugin that allows you to remove all the mp3's from your pod, so you could then use iTunes to re-install them.

The plugin is available through www.winamp.com

Another alternative is Yamipod - a small EXE which can even run from the ipod

Another alternative is to connect the ipod (do not open itunes and do not have it set up to autorun if an ipod is connected) - use explorer (make sure your options have the "view hidden files" ticked) Open the ipods drive letter, open the music directory and copy all the directories (00 to 49 or whatever they are) onto your hard drive (possibly dump them in "my music" ) Highlight the lot of directories in your "my music", right click and untick the "hidden" attribute.
Open itunes and point the "import directory" at your "my music" directory. Robert is your mother's brother.
