Copy music TO ipod without itunes?

[ora]

I would suggest disabling sync anyway to be honest. I often plug my iPod into other peoples macs to play music over their stereo hook ups and if set to sync it would wipe my pod. I'd just set the iPod to manually sync, then you can continue to use iTunes, and would be able to put a track from your iTunes onto her iPod, assuming you had the legal right to etc.

Songbird is another software choice though, its basically a reverse engineered iTunes as far as I can tell.

I like Floola. Although I've never tried it with a PC, it advertises that it works on OS X, Windows, and Linux.

You did not post the type of iPod your friend has. For a more involved solution, you could install Rockbox, which allows drag-and-drop transfer of music to and from the iPod.
