This article will teach you how to put music on your iPod for free without using iTunes. To get free music you will need to download a music video from YouTube through an app called "Documents". Then you can convert the video to a music file with an app called "MyMP3". Unfortunately, there is no way to download music directly to the Music app on your iPod, but you can use an app called "VLC for Mobile" to act as an MP3 player for your downloaded songs. You will need a 6th generation iPod Touch to do this.
