How to Make My iPod Work in Windows Media Player

Until the release of the MGTEK dopisp, synching your iPod to Windows Media Player was impossible. With the introduction of this new software you can, for the first time, manage all of the files on your iPod without having to use the Apple's iTunes. This plug-in allows you to add and remove music from your iPod simply by plugging it into your computer and opening your Windows Media Player.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• iPod
• Windows Media Player 11 or higher
• Windows Vista, XP, or 7
• USB cable

1. Download the free 30-day trial version of MGTEK dopisp or purchase the full version for a fee.

2. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB cable and open your Windows Media Player.

3. Open the music library that you wish to sync to your iPod within the Windows Media Player.

4. Click on the "Sync" tab at the top of the Windows Media Player page.

5. Choose Apple iPod from the menu and click on the "Start Sync" button at the bottom of the page.

6. Wait for files to finish the synching process. When it's done, unplug your iPod from the computer and enjoy your music.

Tips & Warnings

• Windows Vista is known to have problems when interacting with iTunes software, so synching your iPod directly to Windows Media Player is a safe and effective alternative.
• The MGTEK software will work only with a recent version of Windows Media Player; version 11 or higher, and will only work with Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
