I could be a little early with this, but Songbird (www.songbirdnest.com) looks like a promising iTunes alternative. Its development team includes Winamp people and it's being developed under the aegis of Mozilla. It can read the current contents of an iPod and can currently write if you do a full resync (it does drag and drop rather than Apple's hide and seek). It's a little early for prime time yet (developer release is 0.2.5, nightly builds are 0.3.0) but it's looking interesting.
