any experience with XP and i-pod mp3?

[mpc443]

I am thinking about getting the i-pod mp3 player that is compatible with PC's, but I thought I had heard that XP and the i-pod didn't work well together. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks,

i dont actually have one, but i do help out guys who do, and the bottom line ive come to is, the musicmatch method of connection (the default for PC version) sucks. the best thing would prob be to get the pc version from dell.com cause they are cheap, or the mac version from anywhere else, so that it can work on both pc and mac, AND GET XPLAY. even though it was originally conceived for the mac version, it offers a lot for the pc version too, such as drag and drop through explorer, which you cant do with musicmatch. its worth the 30 bucks
