Although ml_ipod will become obsolete due to Winamp 5.2 and ml_pmp, I still like it because it is more capable (at the moment) and it is open source. So until ml_pmp becomes as powerful as ml_ipod is now, I'll continue to maintain it.

If you like to support that, consider making a . If possible, I'd like to buy a iPod Video some day to improve video handling with ml_ipod.

Winamp 5.2 has been released, which has its own portable music player support. It doesn't yet have all the features of mlipod, but it will hopefully have most of them soon. Also, I wrote it, so I don't think I will be contributing much to the mlipod project anymore. If anyone else wants to start contributing in a major way, get in touch.

Thanks for the support and donations guys, it has been a fun couple of years.

iPod shuffles are very cheap, only $100 or so. So lets all pitch in to get one for the project!

Heres the deal: You donate to the project, and I'll use the money to get a shuffle. As soon as I get it, I'll reverse engineer the apparently new database format used by the shuffle, then make it work with mlipod.

Target reached, iPod ordered! Thanks to all donators!
