As a computer technician, I fail to see how iTunes can bugger up your PC. You know, you don't have to use iTunes, there are alternatives, but iTunes works for me.

ctrl + alt + del

then check how many i-tunes related things are running, and how much memory they use.

what are the alternatives to itunes?

I have 2Gb of RAM so I wouldn't notice if it is memory hungry or not. You can use Winamp. There is a plugin for iPod support. Anapod Explorer is a good one as well. I have used YamiPod and it was decent.

Ipods man. they are good. its just people treat them like ****. im on my second (only coz my 3rd generation was black and white) and i have had no problems. ill probably be looking at getting another one now-something a bit bigger. but yer, Ipod's all the way. mines hooked up thru my alpine headunit. you can control it thru the head unit. pretty much never leaves my car unless im uploading....wow as if i dont sound like a geek

I got a creative Zen Vision M 30G in black colour, they looks good and works well with windows media player. I would recommend Creative if you are thinking non-apple product.

has anyone had a look at the new 160gig ipods? I'd assume that the newer ones don't have the problems that the older ones had.

Anything will be a piece of **** if you don't look after it and treat it like you would any other piece of expensive and delicate equipment.

I can vouch for Anapod. Bloody awesome tool, beats Itunes any day of the week. Has a small memory footprint and just uses drag and drop windows explorer. Just like shifting around folders and changes tags on the fly.

Only downside is it isn't free.
