iTunes Method:
-Go to iTunes
-click in search field
-type "dark"
-click on dark side of the moon in the album results
-hit play.FYI- Exact same 5 steps required for selecting all the music by a specific band or a specific song.
You can do the exact same thing in winamp using their media library, except I fidn the interface to be alot more powerful because it has three main windows making it easier to choose between difrent albums by an artist or difrent artists of a genre or whichever of the fifteen million id3 charcteristics you feel like parsing
It can also sort by ratings, how recently youve played it and how often youve played it.
I use Itunes everyday at the office and I realy cant stand it, it just feels slow and awkward.

And I have to install iTunes before I can even get started with RockBox. :| Seems this is a non-windows Pod (it appears to be HPFS formatted) and therefor Windows is bitchy.
But I will corrupt it... and then I will have tunes tomorrow while I work. I just hope like hell it still has a good battery in it. 
Having a Directory/file structure is fine. I don't even really care that you have a database system with all these extra things. I understand some may want it, but I don't. Atleast with the advent of OS X, I could use an iPod to transfer files between linux machines, but what I have does just fine. I'm using a Creative Zen Nano 1GB. I may not have alot of music on it, but it's able to record off of any 3.5mm jack or via microphone. Plus it has a FM radio built in so I can listen to the morning talk shows that the office doesn't particularly want to listen to. another thing is I got it discounted via a student discount that creative kept. Apple just discontinued the educators discounts... Also the warranty is a bit better. the last thing I like is that I have a varriety of file formats, not just mp3, and as far as I know, iPod only uses mp3, so that ruled out that.
I could do more ranting but I feel i'm just wandering.

Nina had this to say about pies:
Just get one of the ipod updates that predate iTunes 7. Fairly sure they include a restore utility without iTunes.
Meh, part way through the install of It 4.7 (CD that came with the pod) it detected it and couldn't read it so it formatted it for me and then I aborted the install.
Are there no fucking metal cases for this thing? WTF? Silicone is NOT going to do much to protect this thing...
