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
