With the release of the iPod Support Plug-in for Winamp 5 you can finally start using that PC formatted iPod for something other than a stylish paper weight.

Installing the plug-in will add an iPod device listing to your Winamp Media Library. Then all you have to do is connect your iPod to your PC, point Winamp to the drive letter that your iPod was assigned, and start sending your MP3 or M4A tracks from your PC to your hip little portable device.

Winamp will also play tracks directly from your iPod so you can take your collection to a friends house and blast your tunes in style without ever having to touch his/her dirty dirty hard drive.

You can even free up space of your own hard drive by deleting useless programs like iTunes and Music Match.

What's New in version 3.08:

• full support for iTouch with FW 2.x (experimental) without patching device. Special thanks to a developer who wants to stay anonymous and helped a lot here! Without your help this wouldn't have been possible.
• iPhone/iTouch shows "sync in progress", no need to run AfterSync or reboot after transfer
• automatically launch 'aftereject.cmd' after any device eject, if it exists. aftereject.cmd must be in ...Winamppluginsml_ipod folder and is optional
• a lot of bug fixes and minor improvements

Note: A new style of iPod support called pmp_ipod is built into Winamp version 5.2 and above (and was developed by the former lead developer of ml_ipod). ml_ipod is therefore offered as an alternative for those who find the inbuilt iPod support lacking in features.
