I recently got an iPodnano and, thus, needed some software to load songs onto it. So, I simply used the one recommended by the manufacturer... iTunes is not a bad program but the Windows version of it does have a couple of problems and the software, itself, lacks certain features that I need.

So, just a couple things about it. First, what do other people feel about this software? How does it compare to, say, WinAmp?

Secondly, where does iTunes store its song database? It's not obvious by casual inspection. Is it stored in some publically readable format, like XML or something? I would very much like to manipulate it, if only I knew where it was...

Lastly, is there a simply way to get one's songs off of the iPod? Just wondering...
