Or uninstall iTunes, re-install it(if you need it) and when connecting to it for the first time, unselect the option to automatically open iTunes whenever iPod is connected to the system(this is what I do; I manually open iTunes when I need it).

I use Creative players at home and outside. zap: I am not searching for a USB storage per se, something which is primarily acceptable in corporate environments and also act as a storage device. iPod is least suspicious that way.

They are cheating you, it's not at all that hard to make the whole storage visible both to the player and to computer as a usb flash drive. And you don't have to partition it any way, it's just plain visible.
