How to Manage Your iPod without iTunes?

By default, iTunes is the only media player that you can use to sync your iPhone and iPod Touch with your computer. However, iTunes is only supported in Mac and Windows, which means Linux users with iPhones will have to find an alternative way to sync their iPhones, or at least get their music into the mobile device. In addition, there may be a large group of Windows users who are using other media players (such as Winamp) to manage their music library and loathe the idea of migrating the whole library to iTunes just because they bought an iPhone.

 

Step 1: I know this may sound a bit ironic but you'll need iTunes installed so that CTM can find the drivers for your apple device. Also, you'll still need it for syncing apps. In case your iTunes is not up-to-date and you don't feel like downloading another 90MB just for drivers, then CTM has its own driver installer, which you can download here.

 

Step 2: Download ipod to mac transfer. Once you save it to the desktop, run the software. It'll take some time to start, so be patient. You'll then be greeted to CopyTrans Control Center. From this list, select CTM (Free).

 

Step 3: The CTM window will pop up with lots of blank windows. Simply connect your iOS device and you're all set. If all your drivers are installed, CTM will immediately recognize your device and display its content if there is any.
