from what I understand itunes doesnt copy over the music files the same way as you find them on your computer. itunes sends them over fragmented, for security reasons maybe.
There may be others but the only other that I know of, which i use to play my music from time to time or identify/find new music is Soundhound which you can find on the app store, which I believe has a free and paid version. I have the paid version.
The app allows you to ID music as you listen/sing/hum the song while it is detecting it. it also allows you to play your music and suggest other bands or songs you may like.

dtunes should be able to play mp3 files that you download that dont come through the itunes store. I've used that before.
I already have mp3s on my computer and I don't see how to get them into dtunes.
The thing I want to avoid is usb syncing. I got Wifi Sync and now I can sync itunes with wifi.
Here is what you do 
I asume your jailbroken since you posted in this channel.
1. go into itunes and uncheck the option to launch and sync itunes automatically when you connect your device
2. download dtunes from cydia
3. i use ifile as a browser for my ipad http://www.i-funbox.com/
4. Navigate to /var/mobile/library/downloads
5. Dump all of your mp3 files here
6. Launch dtunes from your ipad!

There might not be any until you download something. You can create one yourself if you use ifunbox or you can download iFile to your computer which is like an onboard file browser and you can create one. Files on apple devices are case sensitive so make sure you call it Downloads.
Inside you can create a folder called Music and put your mp3s there so that any video and music remain seperate.
You can also put movies in the Downloads folder which you can view with dtunes or MobileTheater which you can find in cydia.
Then
connect with your usb syncing cable
download ifunbox
navigate to the Downloads folder or create it
dump all of your mp3 files
Just make sure that your not running itunes isnt running.
