Between 17 July 2002 (2002-07-17) and 16 October 2003 (2003-10-16), Apple distributed an iPod plugin for MusicMatch Jukebox, allowing Windows users to sync an iPod (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation) over FireWire, and later, USB. It was replaced by iTunes for Windows, which first became available with version 4.1.
The plugin is distributed as an .mmz file, a ZIP-based format that contains installers for:
- iPod Service: The Windows service that handles communication with an attached iPod. iPod Service continues to be included with iTunes.
- iPod Manager: A basic program that displays attached iPods, their storage use, allows enabling Disk Mode, allows setting an application to launch when the iPod is connected, and provides a shortcut to launch iPod Updater. iPod Manager starts with Windows and displays an icon in the notification area.
- iPod Updater: The latest version of iPod Updater is bundled with the plugin, to allow the device to be updated or restored to factory settings.
At least Windows Me or Windows 2000 is required. Windows 98 is not supported, because support for USB/FireWire mass storage devices was introduced with Windows Me and 2000.
System requirements
According to readme.doc, installed with version 1.0:
To use iPod for Windows, you must have a PC with the following:
- A 300MHz Pentium (or better) microprocessor
- Microsoft® Windows ME®, Windows 2000®, or Windows XP®
