If you are a music lover, then you may still have your old iPod lying around in a drawer somewhere. And the reason why you probably don’t use it anymore is because it does not have all of your newer favorite songs.

The reason why it probably doesn’t have all the new songs is not because you ran out of storage or it stopped working altogether. It’s actually because the thought of reloading your iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, or iPod Classic makes you overwhelmed.

Let’s face it. Most people don’t even want to go through the entire process of plugging their iPods to their computer, installing iTunes, and understanding how iTunes works to transfer music. It’s just too tedious.

But what if we told you there was a way to revive your old iPod and load it up with your favorite songs in less than thirty seconds? That’s right! Here’s how to put music on iPod without iTunes.

How to Add Songs to an Old iPod Without iTunes

If you are looking for a way to quickly add songs to your old iPod without iTunes, there are tonnes of ways. You can either try out these Roon alternatives or simply use WALTR 2.

WALTR 2 is a revolutionary desktop app for Windows and Mac that is especially designed to cater iOS users. You can use this lightning-fast app to instantly send hundreds of songs to any iPod model within seconds!

Just plug the app to your computer and drag and drop all your favorite songs to your iPod. It’s THAT easy. Don’t get how it works? Don’t worry. We have laid out all three steps in detail below. Yup, that’s right. It only takes three steps!

WALTR 2 is absolutely free to download and comes with a free trial. If you like the app, you can purchase it along with 10 other premium apps by Softorino for a mere cost of $2.92 per month using their Universal License.

You can download the app on both Windows and Mac PC.

Step 2: Connect Your iPod to Your PC

For the 1st and 2nd generation iPod, you will need a FireWire cable and a USB adapter to connect it to your PC. For later models that were released after 2004, you can use the USB lightning cable.
