60 ipod & itunes: the missing manual
Figure 2-19:
In this exciting XPlay action shot,
Avril Lavigne’s Let Go album is
on the cusp of getting copied to
the computer. If, say, you just
want a few songs off an album,
double-click it to reveal the
songs inside. XPlay can also
play the iPod’s songs through
Windows Media Player,
WinAmp, or another program
that you prefer instead of
MusicMatch Jukebox.
Tip: At www.ephpod.com, you can even find a thorough description for making the iPod work with Linux
systems.
Once you launch EphPod and acquaint it with the iPod connected to your PC, it can
show you the songs stored on your iPod. To copy them to your PC, see Figure 2-18.
XPlay
XPlay was one of the first commercial programs to let Windows fans use the origi-
nal Mac-based iPods. The programs sales suffered once Apple released the Win-
dows-compatible iPods in 2002, but it still offers plenty of management features
that can ease the process of using the iPod with Mac or Windows, like drag-and-
drop updates for music and Outlook contacts.
You can download the full program for $30 at www.mediafour.com/products/xplay.
A free trial version is available, too. See Figure 2-19 for instructions.
PodUtil
PodUtil is one of those rare freeware creatures that comes in versions for Mac OS 9,
OS X, and Windows 2000 and XP. No matter what version you use, once PodUtil
scans your iPod’s hard drive, it presents you with a list of songs that you can then
copy to your computer.
Anapod Explorer
If you’ve ever wished you could browse through the files on your Windows iPod as
easily as you browse through the files on your PC, take a look at Anapod Explorer
from Red Chair Software. This $25 program can serve as a substitute for iTunes as
well as get under the iPod’s hood and push your music and data files around, even
copying them back to the PC.
As shown in Figure 2-20, Anapod Explorer lets you access your iPod’s contents from
any Web browser and play its music via any MP3 program of your choice. You can
even edit song tags right on the iPod. For people who get giddy at the thought of
iPod-to-Computer
