It turned out by changing the msi file using Orca, I can manage to have it installed. However QuickTime does not seem to work after installation. It also does not work on my ubuntu (with Wine). | ||

Something like: http://www.ehow.com/how_4811009_use-ipod-windows-media-player.html (googling "ipod windows media player" gets a bunch of different results as well. Basically lets you use your iPod with other music software as opposed to iTunes. edit: That being said you wont be able to sync apps with your computer that way, but it should let you at least put some music on the thing. Also consider searching for something along the lines of "itunes windows xp 64-bit" in Google, as there seems to be some work arounds to "unofficially" getting itunes to work on 64-bit XP. | ||

In any case, there's a bunch of media players out there right now that will work with Apple music players. Even winamp has that functionality. | ||

Well, the installation can be tweaked, but QuickTime does not work. | ||

Cool info: IIRC a tl.netter is the son of one of their developers. They also got balls to challenge apple by posting an ad near the apple store | ||
