unless one wants to go MacIntosh all the way, of course.
I agree, it's stupid. And what I'm going to say next is also stupid, but it can be done with any Linux box (router, n8x0, n900, ..., etc.) and an iPod touch with no jail breaking.

Set up a mail server on a Linux box and mail some files to an account that you also set up on the iPod. Done. Sure, your tunes now have to sit in a mailbox, but they're actually on the device and you can play them. But yeah, still stupid.
