Customer Reviews:

Great for Windows Media Player [Posted on 2006-09-29]
I received a IPod Nano as a gift. I've been listening to music on my Dell Axim so I keep my music library (mostly paid Yahoo subscription music without the drm anymore) on Windows Media Player 11 (latest version). The IPod is great as it is, far faster than the Axim, which uses a flash cards. However, the Ipod is an Apple product and Apple doesn't allow any synchronization outside of Itunes. To me WMP provides a far better shuffling environment onto my nano, so I was able to stick with WMP thanks to Xplay.

Pros:
-Xplay allows Windows Media Player to send music onto the Ipod, and allow them to be recognized.
-Xplay converts any wma files into mp3 when you shuffle music onto ipod since ipod cannot play any wmas.

Cons
-Apple continues to update their software and block Xplay from working (their nasty hatred of microsoft). So make sure your Xplay is up to date and don't let Itunes update your Ipod or software.
-There are no clear instructions, but Windows Media Player 11 and 10 work great for me.

Very Useful [Posted on 2006-12-28]
I use both a Mac and PC--This made my Ipod a lot more fun.

ugh! [Posted on 2007-01-18]
Is there sucha thing as NO STARS? I was told I could program my Ipod on my Windows ME Gateway computer using this disc...packaging on disc box and case says same...It has turned out to be a bust...no can do...money down the drain. Anyone want to buy it and try it? ...It was a waste of money to me. No instructions, no phone support to get help WHILE trying to utelize it ..BUST. MY Ipod still isn't programmed..,.another waste of money as it turns out..to date..purchased week before Christmas...

No VISTA Support Yet [Posted on 2007-02-11]
Remember, this product is not VISTA compatible. That is coming out later this year.

Does Not work on VISTA......yet [Posted on 2007-12-12]
I have a previous review on this product. I love it, except my new laptop Vista, so i have to wait for XPlay 3.

If you have Vista, wait until Feb 2008 when Xplay3 comes out! Other wise, this is a great Drag and drop program for IPODs on your XP or later Operating System, and from what I read...Mac aswell.

Enjoy
