just to let you know there is a better alternative to itunes called anopod explorer
this application lets you drag and drop your mp3 files etc directly to your ipod and also gives you more controll over your ipod
you can also create playlists etc just like you can with itunes but unlike itunes anopod dosnt wipe your ipod if you ever have to use another pc or buy a new pc etc
if you know somone familiar with the ways of the internet im sure they could fix you up with a free copy
i used itunes once and uninstalled it mainly because it is a very poor program and a lot of un needed messing about
