MEDIAFOUR PREVIEWS XPLAY 2
Free XPlay 2 Beta Version Made Publicly Available
West Des Moines, IA (24-February-2004) — Mediafour Corporation today announced the release of XPlay 2 Beta 1, the first public prerelease of 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 gotten a lot of great feedback from users about how they want to use their iPods, and what they'd like to see in XPlay,” said Mediafour president Brian Landwehr. “XPlay 2 is coming along very well, and addresses many of the requests we've received—especially from users who have large collections of WMA files.”
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.
RequirementsUse of XPlay 2 Beta 1 requires Windows XP, 2000, Me, or 98SE, any model Apple iPod, and an available FireWire or USB 2.0 port, depending on iPod model.
