No, the Xbox does not sync with the iPod. The Xbox can ACCESS files that are on the iPod and play them out of your speakers/TV/etc, but it can't copy files to and from the iPod. You can't even copy music from your Xbox hard drive to your PC, so I recommend ripping your CD's on your PC and using network to stream them to your Xbox. Use your PC to copy files to your iPod, using iTunes or another program.

Yet again NO. You can not modify the iPod from the XBOX. It can not be done. Not with drag and drop not with syncing. The XBOX can jsut access it and play them. That is it. You can not modify it in any way.

If you mean by PC then again no. Drag and drop doesnt work on iPods from my experience. Not without something like the software i already posted.

Read my edit. I emplained that there. You cant get rid of iTunes and use Drag and Drop it isnt a feature that is available with just using the iPod as a storage device. You will have to use something like the software which i already said about.
