MusicMatch Jukebox

MusicMatch Jukebox was a desktop media player developed by MusicMatch, Inc. for Windows and classic Mac OS. In 2004, Yahoo! announced the acquisition of MusicMatch Inc., rebranding the software to '''Yahoo! Music MusicMatch Jukebox'''. It was replaced by Yahoo! Music Jukebox in 2005, with MusicMatch Jukebox's online services discontinued on 2007.

iPod Plugin
Between 2002 and 2003, 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, a ZIP file-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.
