There is a way. Grab a copy of foobar2000 v0.8.3
(http://www.tinkafoo.com/log/foo_pod/foobar2000_0.8.3_special.exe) and
the latest foo_pod plugin from this thread over at
HydrogenAudio(http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19156).

What you can do with this awesome pieces of software is described here
(http://www.tinkafoo.com/log/foo_pod.html).

A brief HowTo for your interests:

.install foobar2000 v0.8.3 (there´s a newer one, but the plugin doesn´t
work with it yet)
.copy the foo_pod.dll into the components folder of foobar
.start foobar
.connect your iPod to your pc
.click in the menubar of foobar: ->components->foo_pod->select iPod to
use, and ensure the right drive is selected
.of your interest is the entry maintenance in
->components->foo_pod->maintenance

Before you gamble with your ipoddb, you should use the function to
"Backup the iPod Database". After that it´s time to use the feature
Update iTunesDB Database on iPod, if that doesn´t work you can try to
use Rebuild iTunesDB Database on iPod instead which will take a while
depending on your connection and amount of files on the pod.

Well, I can´t guarantee anything but it´s worth a try. Despite that,
foobar2000 with this plugin is a very convenient replacement for iTunes
for the iPod´s that are not yet supported by Rockbox, like the nano 2nd gen.
