Third-party software for iPod

There are many buzz out there about Yahoo Music Engine, ml_ipod and many other softwares that work with ipod.

Unlike Yahoo! Employees, YME could not survive a full day on my computer. It was one of most idiot piece of software I have ever seen.

Beside being super slow and its ugly interface, it has detected the iPod as soon as I hooked it up to USB port. Then I started browsing my music library and selected some albums and synced up with the iPod. So far so good. But when I selected the albums on my iPod, it turned out the iPod is not able to play them. Guess why?

YME does not know iPod can not play WMA. That simple. The solution:

1- Uninstall YME from your computer, remove remaining file from its directory and clean up your registry.
2- Re-format your iPod completely. Because it stinks.
3- Use your iTunes to update your iPod. iTunes is the logical choice. It is supposed to be the best software for this reason (however I don't like it, but at least it works fine)
