music player I can use with my ipod

The latest version of last.fm causes an unfixable crash with the version of iTunes I use. I refuse to update iTunes any more, every version is considerably worse than the last. I apparently can't get the old last.fm scrobbler back. I want to be able to scrobble the music I listen to on my computer, and to sync my iPod (Classic, if it matters). I also don't scrobble my ipod, just the music on my computer. I need to have my library accessible through whatever music player I use, and preferably the ability to throw together playlists easily.

I tried foobar2000 on a recommendation but the installer they have on their site right now is busted, at least for my system. It refuses to install a necessary component, making the program impossible to launch/use.

Are there any good alternatives available? I'm not going to use WMP and I'm not interested in some obscure program that gets no support.

Thanks

I'd see if you can find a working install of Foobar. I recently switched to it as well, after getting sick of iTunes, and love it.

The Last.FM for Foobar is just a plugin file, so you won't have an extra program running, which is nice.

I'm reluctant to download a Foobar installer from a different site, for understandable reasons. I wish they didn't just abandon support for all previous versions and make them unavailable. When it comes to coding something people should know better. Imagine if video card drivers were like that

I actually really like the beta, the ipod scrobbler has worked for the first time in forever for me.
That said when I updated I lost about a month's worth of scrobbles and got really depressed.

Winamp. It has support for most ipods, and they try to add in the new ones as fast as possible. I've been using this program for several years and I love it. Also has an insanely awesome visualizer.

use winamp or foobar, i can't see a reason to use itunes unless you buy digital copies of music (and even then you should just do that through amazon/bandcamp)

Spotify works relatively well for scrobbling purposes.

Does WMP allow use on windows without using Itunes at all? I still have like 5-6 IPODs that we never used at work that I would use only if I didn't have to use Itunes.

Even better, a program to wipe Ipods OS and use something else :P

Find a way to make it work? I installed foobar on my new rig not more than a month ago and haven't had an issue.
