Amarok? I know there's win32 version in alpha. Pretty soon it should be as stable on Win32 and OS X as it is on Linux. Have to say, it kicks iTunes' butt in several ways. ipod sync support on win32, though, from any of the OSS systems, is pretty much nonexistent. It works very well on Linux, though (I wirelessly sync my ipod touch, something iTunes can't do). /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
