Actually, the iPod plays MP3 files just fine.  The iTunes application 
can play MP3s and rip your CDs to either MP3 or MPEG4 based AAC.

The iTunes Music Store sells music in AAC only, because it supports 
Apple's proprietary FairPlay Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme.

I think everyone kinda missed my message amongst all the poo pooing going on 
over the IPOD. The machine itself isn't a complete marvel, there are a lot 
of MP3 players out there, but the fact remains the support of other 
manufactures for IPOD accessories, etc, speaks volumes, the IPOD sells well, 
works the way it supposed to, seamlessly allows you to put music in places 
you couldn't before and MOST IMPORTANT IT IS SIMPLE.

You don't have to own it, you won't be any cooler if you have one (remember 
8 tracks and cassette players folks- everyone had to have one!), we have two 
in our house and neither has broken I have a 15 yr old daughter that 
constantly breaks things. It does not necessarily require illegal downloaded 
music, I put my own purchased music on my son's IPOD thank you. But it is 
new technology that doesn't require a lot of investment.

I misspoke before regarding price, you get an IPOD nano on ebay right now 
for about $120. The nano can hold about 240 songs, and with a cheap FM 
transmitter say another $40 you have a great system for little money, that 
is PORTABLE, take it anywhere and works on any FM radio - sorry AM people 
but you will be out of luck, unless your AM radio has a mic or aux jack, 
then you would still be in business.

It is not the panacea for everything you're looking for, there is no need to 
spend a lot of  money, it does the trick plain and simple, I wasn't trying 
to convert anyone on the list but like I said, it worked great for me and I 
thought I would share it with others.

Obligatory statement regarding my opinion:
"I'm not affiliated with IPOD, Apple or any other manufactures."


Best Regards,
Kim Bueler - '75 Gremlin X 360 V8 - IPOD equipped!

Sorry if I lent weight to that. I was just funnin' w/the iPod.
They, and the workalikes, are incredible things. They've created
podcast culture and all, which I love.

As is obvious to anyone who owns anything electrical, they come
with hidden costs (cables, annoying tiny headphones, software
hassles, falls out of pocket into toilet, etc) but if you're
careful it's all totally worthwhile.  2000+ songs, plays for 6 -
12 hours on a single battery charge, instant on and selection,
no removable media... what's not to like!

I measured the resitance of the center contact on rthe sensor with the gauge 
cable connected to it and it read 38 ohms.(cold engine). That till isn't 70 
ohms.
