As well as being the world's largest online music store, iTunes is the most commercially successful music managing applications ever produced, for both Mac and PC. The success of iTunes is mostly down to its usability, but that's not to say it doesn't have its faults. One of the most frustrating thing about iTunes is that it does not enable you to perform any tasks directly from your iPod, without using and iTunes equipped machine, which can be completely impractical if on the move, you maybe travelling abroad and have no access to a computer, let alone one equipped with iTunes.

Floola 5.3 is a standalone, cross-platform application that can be launched directly from your iPod and requires no installation. It supports all commonly used features such as artwork, smart playlists and podcasts. You can also use it to convert audio or video, so that you can copy almost any file to your iPod and even enables you to add YouTube and MySpace videos by entering the URL.
