I think that (under Windows) you can use it as a hard drive, but not as a music player!

You can get non-official software that allows you to use it with a PC, but make sure you've got a Firewire port!

I work for MacWarehouse so have the answers... the software you need is called XPlay by Media Four, see http://www.mediafour.com/ for more details. There is also a bit of software called EphPod by Trentsoft available at http://www.ephpod.com/ .Please take note that is this is not an officially supported Apple product if it doesn't work you won't get any assitance from Apple.

I cannot confirm these work as we've not tested these suggested solutions. Hope this helps.
