For clarification, though you have to use iTunes to see the iPod's
library you don't have to copy your files to the general iTunes library
first and then transfer. Once the iPod icon appears in the iTunes
sidebar you can just drag files directly from any folder on your drive
directly to the iPod. (So long as you have set to manage songs manually
in the iTunes preferences/settings.)
