Does wmPod breach Apple’s copyright?
No. wmPod does not infringe Apple© copyright; does not enable Fairplay licensees to play protected content not authorized through iTunes© and does not enable users to connect to the iTunes server.
How many iPods can I connect at once?
You are only limited by the number of USB/Firewire connections available on your computer.
Will my Virtual iPod's appear in Windows Media Player?
Yes. Your vPod's will appear and songs/playlists can be queued up just as if they were real iPod's.
Is "Word Wheel" your idea?
No. Word Wheel was thought up by Microsoft and is a fantastic feature of Windows Media Player 11.
What is the K-Lite Codec Pack which is installed?
By default Windows has no support for the AAC file format used by Apple to encode songs stored on your iPod.
The K-Lite Codec pack includes the Codecs (enCoder Decoder) and filters for DirectShow to enable
Windows Media Player to play AAC formatted songs.
Why does wmPod create a backup of my iPod database?
The first time you manipulate your iPod from within wmPod, the plugin will display the following message.
Our backup functionality minimizes the possibility of any data
loss, while providing you with the ability to restore your valuable content at
any time in the future. We also recommend that you periodically use the manually
back up facility.
How much disk space does the backup facility use?
The backup facility makes a copy of your iPod database, not the songs themselves.
If your iPod was a book, think of the backup as taking a copy of the book's index, not the actual content.
This being the case, the backup takes up very little space, but will depend upon the number of songs
you have stored on your iPod.
The backup is stored on the iPod, not on your computer.
What are network iPods?
You can connect to your other iPods over a Local Area Network (LAN). To do this, you first have to
"share" the iPod so your other computers can connect to it.
To Create a Network Share
Firstly right-click on the iPod in Windows Explorer, and select "Sharing and Security".
Click "New Share" and give it a name like "JoesNano".
Click "Permissions" and set the appropriate Read/Write security you want other computers to have.
Click "OK".
To Connect to a Network iPod
Right-click on "My Network Places" in Windows Explorer, and select "Map Network Drive".
Select the drive identifier you want to use for the iPod.
Browse or type in the network address to your "JoesNano" share, for example \\JoesComputer\JoesNano.
Click "Finish".
Is the software open source?
Unfortunately no.
Are you planning a Mac OSX version?
There are no plans at this stage.
Will the program run under Windows Vista (32bit)?
Yes. A Vista version of the installer is available under downloads.
Will the program run in 64bit Windows?
This hasn't been tested but it should run without any problems due to it being
written using the Microsoft .NET Framework.
Do you have an OEM distribution?
You may freely distribute this plug-in.
