To download music, is iTunes the only option for the iPods? Can I download music already on my laptop? Load my CD music onto the laptop and transfer to the iPod?
And this MediaMonkey recognizes your iOS gear when you connect it, sees everything on it, and keeps track of exactly where your music files reside on your computer?
I remember a friend/ coworker who had an ipod classic a few years ago and took it everywhere. Once there was a christmas party at work and the music was provided by someone's computer, which happened to belong to that crazy guy who always ended up getting drunk and funny, and the party's playlist on his computer contained a substantial amount of silly music which was fun in the context of the party, but hardly anything you'd regularly listen to. At some point my friend connected her Ipod to the guy's computer (which I guess was a Mac or at least was running Itunes) to play her own tunes through the speakers.
The next time I saw her she was complaining that all the guy's silly music had permeated into her Ipod.

Moral of the story: Never trust Itunes.
Sync automatically was probably checked by default. The only item I leave checked in iTunes is "Manually Manage". And I stay the F-away from iCloud!
Also, next time you don't need to plug your iPod into the computer to hear it. Just unplug the speaker jack from their PC and plug it directly to your device, like I do. If speakers are USB connected, you're out of luck, unless there's another sound system available or you bring your own.....

Yes. You can do all kinds of things. It's fantastic. You can say "only synch 4 gigabytes and reshuffle that mix to my device anytime i connect it".
It has some pretty advanced (but easy to use use) tool to help find missing tags (Album, Artist, Album Art).
New version just came out to work with iOS 11, too.
"MediaMonkey for Windows 4.1.18 adds support for synchronizing music and video with iOS 11 devices, along with 20 other improvements to syncing, artwork handling, playback and more."
