I found this

But does anyone know of any good or new mp3 players that can use iTunes. I love itunes but ipods suck, they just dont last, and other mp3 players offer so much more.

No, ipod is your only bet

If you like itunes then you would like Media Monkey, it pretty much works with every other mp3 player out there

you realise that list is mac os x only? i don't think ipods are any less reliable than other players. they just sell so many more so you hear about more failures.

Many UMS-based MP3 players can work with iTunes (for Windows) using something like BadApple.

Or using iTunes Agent, which is reportedly much more stable (and is also Windows-only).

Iv tried media monkey it sucks. messed up my ipod had to restore it.

Thanks for the Bad apple suggestion.

But ipod are very crappy, iv gone threw 2 in 2 years. i would like to keep my investments instead of collecting a bunch on bricks. And other mp3 players are so much better. But itunes is so nice

Hm. I've found MediaMonkey to be one of the best, most flexible music management apps out there. I'm happily using it on three computers at the moment. Also, FWIW, several BadApple users have reported that it messes up iTunes, refusing access to the Music Store...I've read no such complaints about iTunesAgent.

hmm maybe itunes agent will be better.

But one thing i really like about itunes is the smartplaylists. I have my collection and it picks 4 gigs of random music, i havent found a program or anythign that will let me do that and then transfer to my mp3 player.
