I'd like to just plug my ipod into my Windows PC,

bloated management application that is constantly advertising and trying
to sell you something.
You can do that... you just don't use the Apple iTunes software to do it. I use
GNUpod under linux, but I'm sure it'd work under Windows too.
What's ironic is that I use a Microsoft VFAT file system under linux Gnupod to write
To an apple device. When mish-mashes of hardware, filesystems, etc., occur
Like that in fact it's hard to even think in terms of religious wars anymore.
You just plug everything together and it's ugly but it works. It's not as ugly
As the Apple iTunes software!
There's a lot of generic music devices out there too that don't need the gnupod
layer at all.
