Download Winamp iPod Plugin 3.00

Today version 3.0 of the iPod plugin for Winamp has been released. Since version 5.2 of Winamp there is support for MP3 players. This general pmp support comes from the former developer of the iPod plugin for Winamp, but since he started working for Winamp himself, others have taken on the development of the original iPod plugin. This is particularly interesting for iPod owners, because these more functionality then offers the general MP3 support, such as support for smartlists and podcasts. During installation, Winamp’s baked-in MP3 support (pmp_ipod.dll) will be removed, if any. More information can be found in this Wiki are being found.
