This is the software publisher’s description.

XPlay 3 truly integrates your Windows or Mac iPod with Windows-just drop your music, playlists, videos, and photos directly onto your iPod, unplug and away you go.

XPlay 3 gives you direct access to your iPod, meaning there is no middle man, no application. Copy music, photos, playlists and videos both on and off your iPod to any computer.

If you prefer to use iTunes or Windows Media Player, XPlay plays nicely with both. You can sync files and copy music from the iPod and have it sent into either library. You can even use your iPod with Windows Vista Media Center.

Plus, unlike other iPod software for Windows, XPlay works with Mac iPods, and even makes iTunes for Windows work with Mac iPods.

In addition to music, you can finally manage photos on your iPod. Copy your favorite photos to your iPod to show friends and copy them back off onto any computer to share and save the memories. With XPlay you can also transfer iPod-ready videos.
