How to Add Music to Your iPod Without iTunes
Follow these simple steps to add music to your iPod without the need for iTunes:
1. Plug in Your iPod
Connect your iPod to your PC using the USB charging cable. Your computer will automatically install the necessary drivers for your Apple device.
2. Disable Disk Usage in iTunes
If you’ve used iTunes to transfer music to your iPod in the past, make sure to disable “Enable disk use” in the iTunes settings before proceeding.
3. Show Hidden Files and Folders
On your PC, go to the Control Panel and search for “File Explorer Options.” Under the View tab, select “Show hidden files, folders, and drives” and apply the changes.
4. Access Your iPod as a Drive
Open “This PC” and find your iPod listed as a drive. Double-click on the iPod drive to access its contents.
