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).

Re: What file format are Itunes?
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.
