    you can my friend with no third party software...

    1a]. format your iPod on the PC using the iPod software for PC (Mac can read from Mac & PC, where as PC can not read Mac formated discs)

    1b]. Remember to have the power-brick near by after last step so you can reset the firmware;

    2]. then load the tunes from your Mac and remember to allow HD-mode (and maybe manual load songs to avoid the pop-up asking to auto-sync, though if you just remember to say "no" then that's fine) in preferences.

    3]. No step 3

    This is how I deal day in day out... 1 thing to remember is a PC formated iPod can not load Mac files that has long names or with anything but letters and dashs etc.

    god bless the Mac ;-)
