FYI - you can copy songs off an iPod. It's just a hard drive. You may not keep the songs in the same structure, but you can copy them off.
The irritating thing is that you are tied to one library and if you want to switch libraries you must delete your iPod. It also tends to delete ratings and play counts you've had associated.
I will echo others' thoughts - I've had nothing but good experiences with the iPod. Having 10k songs on it however - the scroll wheel may not be the best navigation mechanism.
