To be fair, transferring music to an IPOD Nano using windows is a doddle, you don't need a niche operating system to do it. You don't even have to use Apple's I-Tunes player. Once you've told I-Tunes that you want to manage your music manually then it's a simple case of browsing your music using windows explorer, copying using control + C and then alt tabbing into the I-Tunes windows where you paste your music onto your Nano. What could be easier than that? If you want to play with I-Tunes then you can keep your collection in the I-Tunes library and either sync the lot if you've got less than 16GB of music or sync selected playlists. I can't believe that's any easier on the Mac than it is on windows. Regards.

What the original poster never said is if the end user has an Apple machine running itunes - in which case plug in the ipod and within the files menu select sync then sit back and Robert, as they say, is your mother's brother! The difficulty begins when you try and do the simple thing on a windows box and that is why friends I am sitting on an Apple mac book and have an ipod nano. :-) Regards G From glorious Devon, England.

I think my friend must know about iTunes because she does listen to music on the playher.
