No drag and drop. And I believe it supports videos. Clair, I have Gpodder to be excellent at syncing my computer with my ipod. No drag and drop. And I believe it supports videos.

Once iTunes is downloaded, and you have stored songs/videos in there, you plug in your ipod in your PC, the iTunes will detect your iPod and usually sync it automatically. If not, at the lower right hand corner, you will see a SYNC button. Click it and you're done! :) If you're iTunes is not open (or launched), the moment you plug in your iPod, it will automatically launch the iTunes and sync. Hope this helps! :) Clair, what I did was download iTunes to my laptop (or PC, whichever you’re using).

And gPodder for podcasts (good stuff). They don't get along too well (gtkpod has to rebuild the database every time I've used gpodder before), but it does all I could possibly need. For music I use Banshee, and it reads the music from the iPod and plays it well, too. I've done some syncing with Banshee, and it seems to work alright, but I trust gtkpod better. Though I might just be picky and neurotic. (I have a 5th gen video ipod, so not exactly the newest thing around haha). I use gtkpod. And gPodder for podcasts (good stuff).
