here is a new iTunes replacement – available for OSx, XP and Linux and it’s free.
It looks very much like the great, I think it is great, YamiPod software. Floola is a freeware application to manage your iPod or your Motorola mobile phone (any model supporting iTunes). It can be run directly from your iPod and needs no installation.
Get it at: http://www.floola.com
