iPOD, SAY HELLO TO WINDOWS
XPlay software brings the ultimate MP3 player to Windows users
West Des Moines, IA (24-Jun-2002) — Mediafour
Corporation today announced the release of its much-anticipated
XPlay software,
giving Windows users the ability to seamlessly and elegantly use
the Apple iPod MP3 player with their Windows PCs.
XPlay is the only complete solution for using the Apple iPod
with Windows-based PCs. Based on Mediafour's own MacDrive technology,
XPlay makes the iPod appear to users as both a portable music player
and as a normal hard drive, giving users a great way to take their
music and important data files and documents with them everywhere.
Integration with Windows Explorer makes songs, playlists, artists,
and albums as easy to access and manipulate as typical files and
folders on a PC hard drive.
XPlay makes the iPod a tightly-integrated PC peripheral. With
XPlay, users can create and organize their playlists, change
equalization
settings, trim song start and stop times, and tweak other song
information, including song title, artist and album. If desired,
XPlay will even automatically synchronize the contents of the iPod
with the music collection stored on a PC's hard drive.
"The Apple iPod may well be the coolest consumer electronics device
I've ever held," said Mediafour president Brian Landwehr. "When
I first touched it, I knew that Windows users would want it, too.
There is no company more qualified than Mediafour to make that
happen."
XPlay is available for online purchase immediately, and will be
available at stores nationwide in July, for a suggested retail
price of $29.95.
Requirements
Use of XPlay requires Windows XP, 2000, Me, or 98SE, an Apple iPod
(either the 10GB or the 5GB model), and an available FireWire port
(also known as IEEE-1394 or Sony i.Link). FireWire ports can be
inexpensively added to computers lacking them.
