Re: [Apple iPod] trying to decide if iPod is for me

The default format for iTunes music is AAC but you can use MP3. I use MP3
160 kbps VBR, which for me gives the optimum trade-off between file size and
sound quality. These files will play on anything that can play MP3s.

iPods can charge while playing.
