Seriously? He said he wanted to drag and drop. Itunes is far more complicated than that. Itunes is shockingly overcomplicated for what it does. It’s a bloated, slow, confusing, mess. When I had an Iphone, I jailbroke it, so I didn’t have to use itunes.

Any regular MP3 player that is made by someone other than Apple, will plug in via USB (Usually without a proprietary cable like Apple has, I might add) and be recognized by your computer as a hard drive. Then, you can just put your music on it and you’re done.

So, the answer is any MP3 player that is NOT made by Apple.

However, the question might not be the right one. The MP3 player has been mostly replaced these days by smart phones that do a whole lot of other things and also function as mp3 players. Any Android phone will do what you want as well, plus a whole lot more. That might be something worth exploring.

For instance, most will also function as a GPS with turn by turn navigation. You’ll also have streaming radio. For instance, there is a radio station from NY that I liked, so when I moved to SC, I just listen with their app in my car.

Getting a smart phone is a huge life changer...definitely worth it, IMHO.

I put in a CD and drag and drop the songs right into iTunes. I plug in my iPod and-viola-they're on the player. No difficulty at all.

I love streaming audio.On a couple of recent road trips (Florida and Denver) I was able to listen to my favorite Boston talk host the whole time I was gone as well as not having to search for Rush every 50 miles while on the road.It's like satellite radio without the expense,particularly if you have an unlimited data plan like I do.
