IPod tricks

  2. 2. Alternative to iTunes

I've had my iPod for about 5 months now and it has served me well.  A couple of times it has had issues.  Here are a couple of tricks to help with the management and recovery of my iPod.

Screen Froze

Recently my screen froze when I tried to select a song.  It froze with the backlight on and I wasn't able to change navigation or hear anything.  To fix this I help down the Select button and the Menu button at the same time for about 5 seconds.  This resets the iPod and broke the freezing screen.

Alternative to iTunes

I've never been a big fan of iTunes.  When I got my iPod I thought I'd give iTunes a shot.  It crashed a couple of times before I gave up completely.  I found that Winamp handles the management of my iPod great and is a lot more lightweight than iTunes and is something I have constantly used.   

Another alternative to iTunes is Songbird
