I use Mediamonkey.

But I have iTunes installed for all that iTunes only Crap. I hate it but so it bothers me less, I disable all the things it likes to run on the windows startup, then turn it's service (iPod Service) to 'Manual' start.

Then when runing iTunes I use the following .BAT file:

---- Run iTunes.Bat ----
@echo off
net start "iPod Service"
start "" "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe"
start "" "C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe"
echo Starting iTunes...
call "C:\Program Files\iTunes\itunes.exe"
cls
echo Stopping iTunes...
taskkill /f /im "AppleMobileDeviceService.exe"
taskkill /f /im "iTunesHelper.exe"
taskkill /f /im "iPodService.exe"
net stop "iPod Service"
exit

-----

That's it, now I can bare having iTunes on my system.
