Musicmatch and new ipods

[robocop2000]

I will shortly be getting my new ipod and to prepare myself for it's delivery I am sorting out my music.

I currently use Musicmatch, and I was presuming that I could download the ipod plugin from the internet and then plug my ipod in and go. But after reading a few forums I'm beginning to get the impression I need to use the version shipped with my ipod, is this true? Should I just get ephpod?

Help, I want to be all organised for when my new toy arrives!

you'll probably have the latest version of the musicmatch on the disc coming with the new iPod and I guess it'll have the plug-in to connect the iPod to your comp...

but what I hope for is, having iTunes compatible for WindowsXP.. and then, maybe we will kick'em all those 3rd party programs like ephpod and etc... I hope...

and as my last words, DONT YOU CALL THAT UNBELIEVABLE DESING A "TOY"!!! :)
