For our ipods, what software you guys use?

• qaac

  21 758 6.0 C++

  CLI QuickTime AAC/ALAC encoder

Qaac is the best AAC/ALAC solution as it uses apple's own libraries that are included with iTunes. iPods sometimes don't like files that were made with other encoders, so using apple's own libraries ensures the files will play. Setting it up might look intimidating if you aren't familiar with command line input though. Once set up, you can configure Media Monkey, EAC, etc to use qaac as an external encoder.

• picard

  238 3,560 9.8 Python

  A cross-platform music tagger powered by the MusicBrainz database. Picard organizes your music collection by updating your tags, renaming your files, and sorting them into a folder structure, exactly the way you want it.

  

I use MusicBrainz for metadata. MediaMonkey and EAC each have a few options for lookup, including a MusicBrainz. Otherwise, MusicBrainz maintains its own (and very good) tagging tool called Picard.
