The plug-in, called ml_iPod, allows iPod users to bypass iTunes and manage music collections in Winamp instead. The iPod is supposed to work with iTunes only. A new version of the software was released Monday."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/main_view-thumb.png" /><br /><br />Winamp manages your music better than iTunes? Not in my experience, but hey...if you want Winamp, go for it. I have one question though; without WMA support, what is the point? I still can't listen to my purchased music on the iPod without converting them to old school MP3 format first. Am I suppose to convert my whole damn music library to MP3? No bloody way!<br /><br />You can download <a href="http://www.mlipod.com">ml_iPod here.</a>

If someone would create a plug in for WMP that handled the iPod, I'd be very happy! I greatly prefer the way WMP organizes my music to the way iTunes does it.

Just found this plug in this weekend. It works great, and is highly configurable-- you don't have to synchronize your ipod with your computer by default, so I can free some space on my computer and leave mp3s on my ipod. Drag-n-drop is quite handy. This is perfect for those of us who already use winamp for our music &amp; video!

Any more signs of WMA support on the iPod beyond the latest software update for iTunes? :?
