XPlay: iPod with Windows

Posted by jamie on from the cats-and-dogs-sleeping-together dept.

meanie writes "Mediafour, a company which specializes in cross-platform software introduced the XPlay software to link up your iPod with Windows. Looks like a solid product, but since I didn't buy an iPod due to lack of a Mac, I haven't been able to check out the software. Anyone try this yet? I might just buy an iPod now."

    "Looks like a solid product, but since I didn't buy an iPod due to lack of a Mac, I haven't been able to check out the software."

    But the article says you don't need a Mac to use the iPod now. You should say "I haven't had a chance to try the software out because I don't yet own an iPod."

    Why do we suddenly like Apple so much? Simple. MacOS used to be a brain-dead eye-candy OS for idiots. Now, it's the long dreamed-of user-friendly UNIX for the masses!

    Yes, all it took was that command line prompt ;-)

    It was originally called XPod, but that would have been confusing, so they renamed it XPlay. As long as 'XP' is in there for marketing purposes. Now how should we pronounce it ? X-Play, XP-Lay ? Will it enhance my laying eXPerience ? Maybe if they threw in a wireless vibration function :)
