Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default Transfer mp3 files to Ipod without using Itunes.

Is there another alternative to transferring/syncing my mp3 files into my Ipod.
What I do now is drag/drop files from Limeware apps into Itunes.
Itunes sync my mp3 files into Ipod.
For various reasons, I would prefer to uninstall Itunes application from my workspace.
I heard Winamp Lite media play was alternative to move & sync files into Ipod. Will this work?

Btw I am using windows 8.

Thanks.
TC.

There are other alternatives. I am not the one to know, but have read about other alternatives including plug-ins and apps that do the same thing. They've been around for several years and new ones out. Other members will probably know which alternatives there are.

iTunes is one heavy over-sized application for what it does. It can only play a limited number of audio formats and limited video playback formats. I have audio editing programs that are able to play, encode, decode many other audio formats and other abilities and or rip 'properly' from a CD but are one tenth of the size of iTunes. And I've been a mac user most of my life.

I found a good, free program via Google search. I think it was called CopyTrans (I could be wrong about the name). You can keep a copy on your device and then run it from there, (when linked to a computer as an external drive - I found easy instructions via Google), so you can transfer songs to/from any computer without having to install the program. It also has sync function.

Anyway, there are a few decent free programs (don't bother with trial versions of commercial software) that will let you do away with iTunes. However, you should keep iT on your device in case you need any firmware updates from Apple.

Thanks Blackhorse.

Just reading user comments & reviews by Cnet it appears Copytran is a great product for smart backups and allows You to either archive or import into iTunes or copy from your Ipod (files) into a hard drive, but it does not appear to have any option to transfer and sync music files from your computer to Ipod without transferring into Itunes first.

I would prefer to eliminate and removing using Itunes completely. It probably is impossible having sync capability with Ipod.

Tom.

Maybe CopyTrans Manager is the one, (it is different to CopyTrans), Backup iPod to PC,copy songs from iPod to computer,iPod to iTunes (this is their website)
Suggests iTunes is not needed.
Looks like the way to go. They have lots of iPod utilities but CopyTrans Manager is probably exactly what you were looking for.

The UserGuide: CopyTrans Manager Guides and Manage iPhone and iPod without iTunes . It looks easy to use.

I am a mac user but iTunes is the best we have for organising music, etc. But I am not over enthusiastic about iTunes despite using it for over 10 years. I've hated some of the limitations or changes they have made to it. Of course they want people to buy from their iTunes Music Store. But some people simply want to listen to their own ripped CD music and not buy mp3's/aac's. I have iTunes blocked in my firewall "lol". I have no need to waste bandwidth for their commercial advertisements or audiobook interviews downloaded without me knowing.

Hey Lord of the Rings.
Your a genius.

Copy Tran manager is just the right software product I need.
You can add/copy/delete from Ipod seamlessly w/o Itunes.
There are a few buggy quirks in copytran manager, but ITunes is unnecessary in populating your Ipod. And thanks to Blackhorse for bring up the copy tran suite suggestion.

Good job guys.
