What's new in iPod Plug-in for Winamp 3.10

Jul 1, 2014
  • new: iPhone/iTouch support disabled by default, because newer devices and iTunes versions caused Winamp to crash. iOS 4 or 3 wasn't supported anyway, due to Apple's implemented protection to keep us out of the game. It can be re-enabled for older devices in the preferences, on the "Advanced" tab. You must restart Winamp after this change.
  • fixed: bug that caused the scrolling title in newer Winamps to stop working (DrO)
  • fixed: Don't show donation request on first launch (user should have some time to test with her device, first)
  • The support file "process.exe" is no longer bundled in the installer, as several virus scanners report this file as a potential threat. It is not, but it caused users to worry. We will provide a separate zip for this.
  • Still not supported (and probably never will): iPod nano 5G or 6G, iPhone with OS 3.x or 4.x, iPodTouch with OS 3.x or 4.x, iPod classic 6G.

New in iPod Plug-in for Winamp 3.00 (May 29, 2007)

  • New: Complete redesign of preferences GUI [This is a great improvement in usability, have a look. Those of you who have used one of the 2.04pXX patches and use the last.fm functions, please check your preferences. There was a slight change!]
  • New: Photo upload [After configuring it in the prefs, you can use the iPod Tools menu to upload photos. See the Wiki for more information.]
  • New: Multi-User support (access levels for the iPod) [This gives you the possibility to protect your iPod from unwanted changes on a different PC. Caution: The protection is only active if the other PC is using ml_iPod, too, not iTunes or any other tool.]
  • New: SPLs really query the iPod data now, not Winamp's library [It was always a problem that the SmartPlaylists relied on the fact that you must have all your iPod tracks in your Winamp MediaLibrary as well. They simply did not work correctly if you had tracks on your iPod that you don�t have on your PC. This limitation is finally gone with 3.00!]
  • New: Full video support [You can now designate specific folders on your HD for specific types of videos. This makes it very easy to put videos into the corresponding category on the iPod. See the Wiki for more information.]
