Free Alternatives For Managing iPod And iPhone Without iTunes

iTunes 8 is here and is still a memory hogger like previous versions, instead of decreasing the bloat Apple seems to be adding more and more supporting services to the player further increasing the memory consumption.

iTunes Memory Consumption

Today, I will be sharing two free iTunes alternative's for managing your Apple devices with ease without consuming resources like iTunes.

Floola is a free utility for simple and efficient management of your iPod and Motorola devices, the small, fast and portable application does not require any installation and can be launched from your iPod under Linux, Mac OS X, Windows XP and Vista.

Floola Windows

Floola lets you manage music, photos, artworks, podcasts, and smart playlists on your iPod using a very simple user interface, the software also supports automatic conversion of incompatible audio and video files into iPod compatible formats, even allows adding YouTube and MySpace videos with a single click.

Floola Features:

  • Works on Windows (98 and above), Mac or Linux distribution.
  • Put the application on iPod and launch it on any PC, immediately.
  • Lets users add and extract songs to and from iPod with ease.
  • Support for Last.fm, YouTube, MySpace Videos.
  • Lyric support even on older iPods (3G and above).
  • Easily search duplicate songs on iPod.
  • Fix iPod database corruption.
  • Support for HTML export of iPod file list.


The software is updated often and the latest version can always be downloaded from here.

NetDragon iPhone PC SuiteHowever, if you own an iPhone, iPhone PC Suite would be the perfect iPhone manager, the powerful free iPhone data management software lets you manage music, images, Camera, Calendar, Contacts, SMS, Notes, eBooks, Call Logs, Bookmark, Ringtones and Themes on your iPhone via a iPhone styled friendly interface.

iPhone PC Suite Features:

  • SMS Chat, send SMS to someone from PC through iPhone
  • iPhone Backup and Restore functionality.
  • Full Music and Video support with playlist creation and PC to iPhone and iPhone to PC transfers with drag and drop.
  • Support for creating custom Ringtones and Wallpapers.
  • Install and preview SummerBoard themes (SMB Themes) on iPhone.

The software is in its early developmental evolution stage, still the amount of powerful features this software provides is simply amazing, The only drawback of this superb free utility is that it needs iTunes, with an Jailbroken iPhone and Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to work.

What about Songbird : http://getsongbird.com, iPhone and Ipod touch not supported yet but very easy to use and lot of add-ons like firefox.

You are right

I've got it
Just simply good

Engrish

"alternative's"? Please fix that bit of Engrish, if you can.

I find it harder to trust recommendations from people who can't or won't take the time and write properly. Why should I waste my time if they will not?

Grammar Police........

English is not my mother tongue and nobody is forcing you to act upon provided information or to trust it, neither you are being asked for money, take it or leave its your choice.

Calm down Faggot

This guy is being nice enough to post a couple great alternatives that I was unaware about.

People like you are the reason why us American's think you're douchebags.

haha, "American's" more like

haha, "American's" more like americant's or americunts...

U.S.A. is not America

Por favor, más respeto con el resto de los americanos.

BTW, I´ll give Floola a try. Thanks!

pcsuite

PCsuite

Same issues for me trying iPhone PCSuite. Impossible to launch it correctly.

Floola, not compatible with the new iPhone OS 3 (or is it just me having errors???)

Ended up using CopyTrans Manager: http://www.copytrans.net/copytransmanager.php

Compatible iPhone OS 3, free.

RE: iPhone PC Suite

Is iPhone PC Suite compatible to iPhone 3G 0S 3 Apple, and how to use it after installed to PC ?
Thanks

iPhone PC Suite

Is there any way to get the "English" version? Mine comes up in all Japanese, and I see no option to install in English.

"that software doesnt work,pc suite tells me it cant find itunes..i have it installed,i have iphone 3g..."

You have to download itunes first, then run this to get the drivers. You're free to delete iTunes afterwards.

"alternative's? Please fix that bit of Engrish, if you can. I find it harder to trust recommendations from people who can't or won't take the time and write properly. Why should I waste my time if they will not?"

You're a douchebag.

pc suite good my ass

i must say i am disapointed with it first i see it is in japanese took me a while to get it to english and after connecting it says it isnt jailbroken while it is lame

how did you get it to run in

how did you get it to run in english.

Is there anything to manage iphone with lunix?

how did you get it to run english

ok after you install and it finish install go to the task bar and right click on the icon that looks like a iphone then you go to select luanguage and thats it!

I agree that it is awesome

I agree that it is awesome that people spend their time writing reviews for software like this, and making it available to unappreciative people. BUT I'll have to agree with the "grammar police" that when someone doesn't take the time to proofread their own article it makes you wonder how much weight you should put into their words. That being said, this is not an international news story but someone telling me about a program might not know of otherwise. Thanks to the author!

My issue with searching for

My issue with searching for apps comes when you try & search from a web browser rather than a mobile device. iPhone for example has a very limited approach because you have to download the iTunes Store (hate that). I have come to the conclusion that if I want to search apps on my laptop, I should use other marketplaces.
