Ephpod of MC9 right out of the box?

I didn't install MMJB before using Ephpod. I did, however, install the iPod Manager, although I don't think it's required.

At this point, I'd recommend Ephpod over MC9, although MC9 is extremely feature-rich. This is mostly because we're all expecting iTunes for Windows to come out, and I can't see myself spending $40 for MC9 when a program from Apple will come out a couple weeks later and rival it in functionality while annihilating it in ease-of-use (assuming it's much like the mac version).

OTOH, you could use the 30-day trial of MC9, and hope iTunes comes out before it runs out ;)

Others may vehemently disagree with my comments above (try asking this question in the MC9 forum ;) ), so I'll put on my flak jacket.

Thank you both for the tip. I'll try the 30 day trial version of MC9 as well as Ephpod and see how it works out. I'll get the Ipod on Monday...I can't wait!!! I hope it's in good condition though b/c I see posts of people saying their refurbished ipods aren't in good condition.

There's a full board ( http://ipodlounge.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=20) for it with all sorts of Sticky's at the top w/the links you need.
