    How do you copy music to an iPod?

    I know there is some algorithm out there that allows you to copy music to an iPod like iTunes does. I am writing a program that will replace iTunes because I hate iTunes so much. If you know what the copying algorithm is I would greatly appreciate it. Its for VB 2010

    Go to Apple's developer's site at Apple, get a free Developer's ID. You can then download their API/SDK for iTunes. Be forewarned you will need to translate C# to VB.NET or use Windows Scripting and also JavaScript.

    You have to sign up for the dev account like Kevin said. There is no direct download link for the SDK.

    You can sign up for the free Apple Developer account here. Afterwards, login to http://connect.apple.com. Click on "Developer's Tools", scroll through the list and look for "iTunes COM for Windows." The download will contain everything you need in order to work with their SDK, including the documentation. Which should be in a help file (.chm).
