Existing users, 
To make this plugin work for iTunes 4.7 you must use a hex-editing tool on iTunes to re-allow this plugin. So far, this is the only way that i've been able to make this work.
To do this you must:
1. Open your hex-edit program, and open Itunes (not the program, the .exec file), which is usually found under /Applications/iTunes/Contents/MacOS/iTunes/
2. Do a simple find of the words "ipod download".
3. To change this limitation you must change the words "ipod download" to "ipod downlaad".
4. Save this change.
5. Open iTunes, and your plugin should now show up.

In Essense, iTunes blocked the name of the plugin. so, you must either change the blocked name, or change the name of the plugin.
either of these changes should make the plugin work again. It's a dirty little trick that apple used. but as far as i'm concerned, this plugin does not perform any illegal tasks. The only reason i needed to use it is because i had a customer that needed to recover their music after a computer crash. all of their music came from store purchased CDs, but they didn't want to spend hours re-ripping the hundreds of CDs.
Kudos to the creator for this program. For some it can be a life saver.
