Re: Apple Ipod

If you are using MCE 2005 (which is implied if you are downloading WMP11
since WMP11 is already included with Vista) then you may need to install a
Microsoft service update to make MCE2005 compatible with WMP11.

In particular you need the October 2006 update see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925766

However this would only apply to running WMP11 (or possibly installing it)
rather than simply downloading it.

Is the window media player compatible the Apple IPOD?
Are there software conflicts?

By itself, Windows Media Player cannot 'talk' to an iPod. You can install
Apple's iTunes on the same machine as Windows Media Player without it
conflicting. I have iTunes, QuickTime and Windows Media Player all working
fine.

It is possible to share music between iTunes and Windows Media Player if you
use a suitable format and have the right directshow filters. Suitable
formats are

MP3
AAC
Apple Lossless

Other formats that are not suitable for various reasons are

WMA
WAV
AIFF
FLAC
OGG

It is also possible to buy third-party software which will let Windows Media
Player sync to an iPod, in which case you don't need iTunes.

See http://www.media4.com/products/xplay/ (version 3 due out in February)
and http://www.mgtek.com/dopisp/

Personally, I have all my music in Apple Lossless ripped using iTunes, and
then shared with Windows Media Player AND Microsoft Media Center. I use
iTunes to sync to my iPhone.

Note: Windows Media Player (even version 11) still does not support PodCasts
unlike iTunes. The Zune team have junked WMP and written their own totally
different one which now has limited support for PodCasts (but cannot even
with these utilities talk to an iPod).


.... And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
Windows Vista, and WMP11 followed with him. And power was given unto them
over 95% of computers, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death,
and with the beasts of Redmond ...
