Okay, I dont have anywhere near enough hard drive space available on my PC at school to store every song I'll be putting on my iPod and while at home I use a different computer anyway which would further complicate issues. I've found out that iTunes will delete songs it doesnt locate in my library which simply will not fly for me, so I want to use another application. I've been reading up some on this EphPod and heard a few horror stories, so for anyone who has used a third-party application -- can you offer some advice on which program to use? Thanks.
