All wonderful music should be stored in iPod, so that you can listen to and enjoy them anytime, anywhere. But, do you have any ideas about how to put music on iPod without iTunes? In this article, we will show you two ways to transfer music from computer to iPod touch/nano/classic/shuffle without using iTunes.

Part 1: Why Not iTunes?

Many people wonder: how can I put music on my iPod nano/touch without iTunes? Well, why they contradict iTunes in this way? In fact, the choice is up to you. iTunes is intuitive and allows seamless interaction between iOS devices and Mac OS. However, for PC users, the use of iTunes will appear clumsy. What's more, iTunes imposes restrictions on users. For example, if people want to download or purchase music from sources other than the Apple Music store, it will be a little troublesome. Because they want users to buy music from their own store. The restrictions imposed by iTunes on users also include:

• Users cannot freely move music from iPod to iTunes, nor can they automatically sync non-apple music to iTunes.
• Users are not allowed to transfer music downloaded or purchased from sources other than the Apple Store.
• Users are not allowed to transfer music to another device one by one, but directly cover the entire library. This brings the risk of deleting all music files on the iPod.
• It does not support direct transfer from device to device, and needs to rely on iTunes library every time.
• If you don't want to use automatic synchronization of the entire music library that cause the music on the device to be lost, then you can only choose to transfer manually, but this may cause files to be added repeatedly and cause confusion in the music library.
