I guess it does what its supposed to, what would be a fairly good program is marred by the PITA updates,compatibility issues with versions of iPods, god help you if you need to reinstall this and you didn't pay the $4.95 download tax...
A lot of questions... - Version: 1.0, 4/30/2004 07:39AM PST

I've been using XPlay to listen to music on my Mac-formatted iPod through my PC since the early beta versions. Over that time, I've had an interesting love/hate relationship with the product.
I love XPlay when it works:
- My iPod mounts flawlessly and I can play all MP3's via WMP.
- I've used Xplay with Win98, Win2K and WinXP, all with good results.
- The speed of the app has improved dramatically over time.
There are also soem bad things that people should be aware of:
- Every time Apple updates the iPod firmware, Xplay breaks.
- When Apple updates iTunes, Xplay breaks ~ 50% of the time.
- It typically takes anywhere from 1 to 5 days for MediaFour to update Xplay after such a change.
- XPlay doesn't add the capability to play any file that WMP couldn't play by itself. Ergo, you can't listen to Protected-AAC files through your PC.
- Once version 2.0 of Xplay was released, support for version 1 was killed immediately. Since Apple issued an iPod firmware update less than 2 months after Xplay 2.0 came out, many people who bought version 1 less than 6 months ago are being forced to buy a $15 upgrade to version 2.0. Not even Microsoft is this brutal.

Not so sure about this app. After installing it, Xpod immediately wiped all the songs from my iPod and replaced it with "sample music" crap. Fortunately I had all my music backed up on my Mac, so I just reloaded it. I thought this app would allow me to extract all the tunes from my iPod and place them in a folder for iTunes Windows to read... but halfway through it said "Not all could be transferred." Perhaps the instructions weren't clear or perhaps it was a difference of Mac vs PC iPods, dunno yet.

Up to 3.0… - Version: 3.0, 2/4/2002 10:41PM PST

preview, XPlay was pretty much useless without playlist functions or delete capabilities. However, 4.0 preview is out now and it adds those two missing gems. Being able to edit the contents and Playlists live in an Explorer-like interface is miles ahead of Apple's iTunes prison (and much better than any Mac third-party util that attempts to get around iTunes). I'll never be caught dead using iTunes gain! Even without auto-syncing (who wants that anyways?), 4.0 is good enough for me. iPod, say hello to PC. Whoo-hoo!
