With the earlier Ipods, there was an open-source toolkit that could do
two-way file transfer (including music files) between the device and a
host PC -- something even Apple’s own Itunes wouldn’t allow.

That was blocked on later Ipod models by some kind of encryption of
the on-device media database. Not sure if that was ever cracked.

With Android, Google’s own open-source developer tools allow two-way
file transfer between device and host.
