Thanks to Hasan for the heads up on this upcoming XPlay software. This is from mediafour.com: Your Apple iPod can indeed work with Windows. Though it is not soon enough for some of our most enthusiastic customers.
If you've seen the fabulous new Apple iPod, you are probably in agreement with all of the reviewers who are impressed by it, and some who proclaim it the best personal MP3 player ever to hit the market.
You are probably also as surprised as the reviewers are that the iPod doesn't work with Windows!
Cross-platform computing is what Mediafour does best, so we're readying an affordable new software package called XPlay. XPlay enables iPod owners using Windows Me, 98SE, 2000 and XP to use the iPod for cross-platform file transfer, play their iPod songs under Windows, and transfer their PC-based MP3 collections to the iPod for on-the-go listening.
A public preview is now available. All you need is an iPod and a Windows Me, 98SE, 2000 or XP Computer with a FireWire port.

"We're not sure what it is that makes some Morpheus members vulnerable to this," said one, who asked to remain anonymous.
"Potentially this could make every user's computer available to anyone who wants to have a look at it.
"All we know is that there's a major gap that's allowing certain users to become vulnerable."
The group contacted BBC News Online out of concern about the privacy implications of the security hole.
"It's definitely an accident from Morpheus' side, probably a worm. This is very dangerous."
Napster was shut down by an American court last July for breaching music copyright.
Morpheus is at present legal because there is no server storing the digital files.
Music fans swapping MP3 files are put in direct contact with each other.
The Recording Industry Association of America, which spearheaded the fight against Napster, is reportedly looking at ways it can tackle these new methods of file-sharing.
