One doesn't have to be a Microsoft fanboy to notice that the iPod supports a relatively limited number of audio formats...

AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, and AIFF. Oh, I feel so limited.

Also, last I checked, it's impossible without the help of 3rd party software to (easily) recover music from your iPod in the event of your computer's hard drive failing.

You don't back up your hard drive? Then you lost much more than your music.
