Music from the Ipod

So, does anyone know, where i can find a peice of software fr something so that itunes can play music striaght from my ipod, instread of having it on my computer, it seems kind of redundant to have it on both when they are so often connected

Don't use MusicMatch. Use Xplay (www.mediafour.com).

It costs an extra $30 but it's SO worth it. You don't even need to install the Windows software from the Apple CD, and you won't need to re-format the iPod to Windows FAT32 format.

You just install XPlay, plug in your iPod, and it's there. You can drag and drop songs onto your iPod, and it's not difficult at all to drag them BACK to your PC hard drive if you want.

And of course you can play mp3's directly from your iPod over your PC's audio system.

It's just so much nicer than MusicMatch. And, since you didn't reformat your iPod to Windows format, you'll be able to plug it right into a Mac and make it coexist with both.

A hint though: If you decide to use the same iPod with both your PC and your Mac, TURN OFF AUTO-SYNCHRONIZATION. I failed to notice this, and the first time I plugged it into my new PB, iTunes helpfully synchronized my iPod to match its own music library: i.e. it deleted all the songs off my iPod. Grr.

I daresay that managing music on my iPod was actually EASIER with XPlay than it was with iTunes.
