I've used several itunes alts nd itunes itself and I have never been unable to find this very simple option.
Does it exist?

Check the wiki and search the forum. This has been asked and answered many times.
MusicBee is probably not the solution you need

I would argue  that if you go through the trouble of posting, you could always just link a thread with the answer, if they are so common.

I'm guessing Music Bee is not for me. The only reason I even tried it was a list of iTunes alternatives had this as number 1.

And I would argue that if you go through the trouble of posting, you could search the forum first to see if your issue has already been discussed.
Download the latest MusicBee v3.5 or 3.6 patch from here.
Unzip into your MusicBee directory and overwrite existing files.

EDIT 1: Ok, so, after searching for an answer, I cannot find one.
There is mention of deselecting sync in itunes (done a long
time ago), yet there is no sync ipod/music device option anywhere
(seemingly) in musicbee, besides "synchronise tags". When I select
a group of songs and move it into my ipod, it goes into the exact
directory selected and does not appear in the ipod's music list.
Selecting "send to", which is the second method every single music
manager uses to move songs onto ipods. Yet, no ipod or music device
option presents itself, other than "choose a folder" which, we know,
doesn't work.

This is why I am asking for help. I have looked for answers and it seems
to never be discussed, as every question concerning an ipod or such
device is referring to another matter. I don't know what I did to earn the
ire of everyone on this board, but if I could just have the answer to this
I would never trouble any of you again.

That's why I'm trying to get this working instead. No need to explain the
issues with (cr)apple. I know them all too well.

Anyways, thanks to everyone for your help. BTW, almost every question one
can ask can be found by searching, so why even have a questions forum?
The amount of questions about an issue that is actually unique  or too
difficult for a wiki or how-to page is so insanely minimal, that there would
be zero need for a separate forum.

My 2 cents.

And I would argue that if you go through the trouble of posting, you could search the forum first to see if your issue has already been discussed.

Steven, could you add the FAQ page (not just the wiki home page) to mb 'help' menu?

It is such a shame that the majority of supposed 'Heroes' are so stuck up about this product that they feel it is beneath them to give a newcomer a simple answer to their question. I am also having the same problems but having seeen the type of response someone gets for even asking about this, I will be deleting this program from my system immediately and certainly won't be using it again.

Just sad that someone has to insult you before you answer the question correctly

you just don't understand how *many* times such questions are asked. what does the forum search exist for at all?
