i think you need to install the software that came with it. why did you get her a ipod of you didnt like there software and is it a nano?

Unfortunatly, you can only use iTunes to load the music. But what do you have against installing the software? The iTunes program is only 30mb, and if it comes off a CD there will be no viruses/adware. Is there some other reason you don't want to install it? Not wanting to install it sounds unreasonable to me.

musicmatch jukebox has an ipod plugin, and there are many other programs out there also.

Im not sure why your having a hard time with this, you install iTunes, and then select the songs you want to put onto your iPod with it.

Yes, you have to install Quicktime along with it. Theres no way around it. But all you have to do is uninstall it after iTunes is on there. No big deal.

Error saying basically quicktime needs to be installed on this computer
