I am finally being sucked into the ipod thing. My question is when I move or add all my music to itunes will I be able to record it all in mp3 format. I am not a big fan of the acc file thing!

yep mp3 is fine <BR> <BR>i just got a ipod nano 2gb free last week and i transfered most of my mp3's to it with itunes...

drag n drop, mp3 and the ipod native file formats can coexist harmoniously together on an ipod.

yeah you can just go to advanced on the ipod screen and select convert to mp3 <BR>after that select each song in the library, right click, and get info and see if the song is in mpeg-3 format...then you're set <BR>you have to do this if you ever want to transfer songs onto some other type of mp3 player (LIQUID TUNES!)
