But the iPod will also cope with MP3.

iTunes from the store are AAP (or somesuch - protected)

When you import you have the option to import from CD into AAC and MP3 at least (there might be others).

If you have any other music players, you might want to do what I do - save all files as MP3, as these also play on most/all players (we have a couple of Sonys as well as an iPod).

On this, don't you find it odd that more companies don't make players that support (non-DRM) AAC? If they want to tempt people away from iPods/iTunes then supporting the iTunes default ripping format might be a good idea. I note that the Zune does.

The SE K800i supports it. I think that many players will start supporting it in 2007.

Also if you are ripping into MP3 you probaly need to use a higher bit rate than AAC 128 is the minimum to use on AAC 192 on MP3. Higher if you want better quality (but less tunes on your iPod / MP3 player.
