Mediafour Ships XPlay 2
XPlay 2 Now Available For Online Purchase
West Des Moines, IA (13-April-2004) — Mediafour Corporation
today announced the release of XPlay 2, the new version of its
popular Windows software for iPod users.
XPlay 2 provides a variety of new features, including compatibility with Audible
files, AAC files, and even automatic WMA-to-MP3 conversion. XPlay 2 is also much
faster than the original XPlay, has improved support for international characters,
displays album art, supports play counts, and has a greatly-enhanced interface
under Windows XP.
“We’ve been very appreciative of the level of interest in the XPlay
2 beta releases, and the feedback we’ve gotten along the way,” said
Mediafour president Brian Landwehr. “XPlay 2 is a strong product, and addresses
many of the requests we’ve received—especially from users who value
their album art, want to copy music off of their iPods, have large collections
of WMA files, or want to use XPlay to complement iTunes.”
XPlay is well-known as the first product to provide Windows connectivity for
iPods, and as the only product ever to provide Windows integration for Mac-formatted
iPods. XPlay is also the only way to use iPods with older versions of Windows,
including Windows Me and Windows 98SE.
XPlay provides a powerful drag-and-drop interface that makes transferring music
to and from the iPod quick and simple. XPlay is also the only product that enables
Windows users to use both Windows- and Mac-formatted iPods. It is available for
online purchase and at stores nationwide at a suggested retail price of $29.95.
A free fifteen-day trial version of XPlay 2 is available from www.mediafour.com/xplay.
Requirements
Use of XPlay 2 requires Windows XP, 2000, Me, or 98SE, any model Apple iPod,
and an available FireWire or USB 2.0 port, depending on iPod model and version
of Windows.
