Well, you certainly need some software, but it doesn't have to be itunes. Have a look at this:

Agreeing with Rojash, iTunes is by far the easiest way to use an iPod with your computer. All the others are reverse-engineering the iPod software, which may have flaws.

To fix your iPod, try the 5 R's:
