This is a list of iPod file managers,. i.e. software that permits the transferring of media files. In the case of iPod file managers, this takes place between an iPod and a computer or vice versa.
iTunes is the official iPod managing software, but 3rd parties have created alternatives to work around restrictions in iTunes. e.g. transferring content from an iPod to a computer is restricted by iTunes.
