XPlayer

XPlay is a new program that will let you manage your iPod in a new and different way. Just plug in your iPod - or iPhone- and start managing your music and videos, access it as if t was a drive and play music and videos stored in it.

Load mp3 music and other files in a snap, without having to run iTunes. Now that iTunes has become more and more heavy and requires a more powerful machine, XPlay can be a very good choice.

Not only will you be able to load music manually but you'll be able to synchronize your iPod with your PC music collection when you plug it in automatically.

XPlay makes copying your music from your iPod to your computer a painless task, just select the files you want to backup and drag and drop them to the folder you want. You can even copy music from iPod to iPod by doing the same.

Finally, if you want to play the files stored in your iPod on your computer, you'll only have to double-click them or surf them when you'll use Windows Media Player, because your iPod will appear as a Portable Device in Media Player.
