Summary: Sweet as candy
Review: "Good show!", I say. The program does what it claims to and more.
My old 98 computer can use the iPod and that is pretty cool.
I like being able to copy music from my iPod onto my computer. It makes downloading music at the office and bringing it home a lot simpler than FTP'ing the songs, remembering to grab them off the FTP, et cetera. This way I can also play the songs my new songs on the commute home too.

Slick stuff. If you haven't tried it you don't know what you're missing.

Summary: Poor documentation, arrogant customer support
Review: I have been buying software for computers for almost 20 years now, and this is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a software purchase. Despite the fancy "iPod family" packaging, there is no manual in the box. The support info on the CD is skeletal, as is the website. Upon calling Media4 customer support, the individual I talked with knew next to nothing about the XP operating system - even though the program is marketed to both Windows and Mac users. There is better freeware out there that actually does what, as far as I can tell, Xplay only says it does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why can't all software be this powerful and easy???
Review: I installed it and that is all there is too it. Within a minute of installing XPlay I was transfering music to my iPod. It was as easy as using any other disk on my Windows XP computer. I can do everything I did with iTunes, but it just feels better, more "Windows" with XPlay. It really is one of the easiest programs I have ever used.

Also, a friend of mine uses XPlay with his Windows Me system. With XPlay we were able to copy music off his iPod and save it to his PC. Pretty cool!!!

I was leary when I first read reviews on here about both XPlay and Mediafour as a company. I am not sure what experience others had on here, but for my money this is a first rate program.
