Like Anapod Explorer, XPlay 3 integrates into Windows Explorer and works with Windows Media Player and Media Center (or with iTunes, if you prefer).

And like other software listed here, Anapod Explorer currently doesn’t support the iPod Touch or the iPhone.ĭownload Anapod Explorer | Price: $20 to $30, depending on the associated iPod model XPlay 3
Though there is a free trial edition, its features are very limited. Depending on what model of iPod you have, prices range from $20 to $30. This great program comes at a cost, however. And though it lacks a built-in media player, the Anapod Xtreamer lets you play songs through your favorite media player via HTTP streaming. Anapod supports MP3, WAV, WMA, iTunes Music Store music, and more. And unlike iTunes, Anapod Explorer invites you to use templates to customize the way your iPod displays tracks. Among Anapod Explorer’s dizzying array of cool features are automatic repairs to mislabeled or duplicate songs, playlist management, and support for transferring files from iPod to PC and vice versa. This lightweight program uses other Explorer controls as well, such as Send To menus and copy and paste. Because Anapod Explorer integrates into Windows Explorer, managing your iPod is a simple matter of dragging and dropping. This program is probably the easiest to learn of any software in our list. And WinAmp is not currently compatible with the iPod Touch and iPhone–a deterrent.

To burn more than eight audio CDs, or to rip audio CDs to MP3s, you have to get the $20 pro version.
Unfortunately, the free version is missing some ideal components. WinAmp also has a slew of cool features, including a library of customization skins, a podcast directory, access to AOL’s Shoutcast radio stations, and Auto-Tag (which downloads metatags from Gracenote). Now in version 5.54, WinAmp has a redesigned Now Playing screen with artist photos and album art, similar to iTunes and to Zune’s new Now Playing screens. And keep an eye on its progress: On the Songbird Web site, the service notes that it is working to add these missing features.īefore iTunes, there was WinAmp–and it’s still around today. You may not want to use Songbird as your primary music player yet, but its various add-ons are well worth downloading and playing with. In particular, CD ripping, video support, and support for iPhones and the iPod Touch. Still in beta form, Songbird lacked some important components when I looked at it.
