Um... I'm looking for an application that will allow me to transfer songs to my mp3 player without taking up too much of my resources. Currently I'm using MusicMatch and it's hell having to boot it up just to do this.
P.S. And if possible i would like it to just do that (Transferring music only)
What MP3 player do you have? Some only work with certain software.
iriver t30
Have you tried simply using Windows' file browser? That's what I do with mine, but I do have a different player than you though.
According to the iriver website you should be able to use Windows Explorer for it, or any other media player with a library function...
My Dell DJ has a Nomad core in it so I use either Gnomad2 or Neutrino to transfer songs. But, again, that is only for Nomad-based players and for people on Linux.
[/unhelpfullness]
Iriver should've probably come with some software for that. Whatever that software is, let's call it Itunes, search for it in google like: "Itunes alternative". That's how I found a couple for Itunes, because it sucks balls for transfering songs to an iPod... it sucks for everything, for that matter.
iTunes doesn't suck balls. :( (If that's what you meant :fdance: )Quote:

I despise iTunes. And iPods, for that matter. My parents gave me a shuffle for Christmas; I initially rejected it, but agreed to use it at least temporarily.
i've got an older ipod 4gen, and it is real reliable, but the only itunes I can stand is the earlier builds which arent supported anymore, so I bought anapod explorer which intergrates the functionality into windows explorer
There's a Winamp plugin that lets you use Winamp for it. I use that mostly.
i tried that but it didnt get along with anapod, so I had to go with what I had already purchased, ya know.Quote:

well miss smarty pants.. i did but I bought my software liscence long before that plug-in was released. even so, anapod still gets better user ratings that any other alternative software for ipod, so I don't regret it, cost me all of 20 bucks.
iTunes only sucks if you can't tag your music properly (oh well, that's how I see it :P).Quote:

Another thing with the new version is QT, I know a lot of windows user don't even need or want it on their system, but guess what it comes with iTunes so you don't get a choice.
Can iTunes even handle APEv2 tags...?
I'm not sure myself, I really doubt it though.
We have two iPods in the house, and I can agree iTunes does, in fact, suck. It takes forever to see the iPod, is finicky about copying some types of files, the video management in 5 is atrocious (I haven't played with 6), too. I mean it lumps your videos in there with your songs, doesn't easily let you categorize them, and most of them time with auto-sync doesn't move them over. o_o
It's easy enough to slap songs onto the iPod with though, so I do use it. Now if it wouldn't take 5 minutes to close out. ;; (Psst, Jedi-chan, you know you want a real iPod~)
Damn right, it isn't very messy like other programs I've used (and it doesn't hog as much resources as MMJB. WinAmp is okay, but too simple for me :wacko: ). I also like it how it can sort my music into it's own, specified folder with all the mp3's having the same type of tags. Smart-playlists is also great. :fdance:Quote:

I'd rather a real iPod than my shuffle, but I'd rather an iriver than anything. XDQuote:
