Share your iPod music with Sharepod
Well it might not be wireless and Zuneriffic, but Sharepod makes sharing your music on the iPod a whole lot easier. It enables you to copy music back and forth from your PC to your iPod. It allows you to bypass iTunes to load the iPod. It enables sharing over a network, so an entire dorm could see and copy your tunes. All of this, naturally is only applicable to music not purchased on the iTunes Store, as Sharepod won't crack the Fairplay DRM. For my money (or lack thereof), the nicest part is Sharepod is a simple .exe, and doesn't rely on wonky installers to do it's business. Simple, fast, easy and fun. What more (aside from the Fairplay cracking) do you need?[thanks Christoph for sending this in]

What's the point? Why not just make a shared music folder and that way the music can be passed on to people who don't have ipods, plus it works without a download at all.

Carmelzappa, you don't have to have an iPod to grab the music on a network. The only iPod involved is the host. The clients are Windows computers, and music is saved to the hard drive.
This could be real nice for people who want to give some tracks to someone on a network (like in an office or a class) without having to copy their music library from home to a work computer.
I just hope we can see an OS X and Linux version developed too. Very promising.

Don't forget YamiPod. No installer (you can run it off your iPod) and has RSS/Podcast downloading support.

I want to use "any version (1.7-2.1) that I can playback Winamp AAC LLC-MP4 format at work with Sharepod's media player. The player does not recognize my songs that are in this format on my Ipod. Do I install drivers to recognize this format and if so where do I install them, hopefully on the Ipod so it is always available like Sharepod. If I have to install on a computer, then this defeats trying to us Sharepod on different computers (Like the ones you don't have Admin Rights)
