1) You can't tell the difference between the two media. AAC formatting uses the same encryption that MP3 formatting uses. The key difference being that there's a digital watermark denoting its adherence to Apple's patent.
2) You're wrong, iPods support different media. It's the iTunes program that isn't WMA compatible and that's only because Microsoft won't license it to them. My MediaMonkey player enables me to synchronize with the iPod's operating system fairly efficiently (nor have I had a single problem with it).
3) If you use a third-party OS (like RockBox) you can listen to lossless formats like FLAC on your iPod without much hassle. Something that many other MP3 players' operating systems aren't capable of.
And jackhammer, threads like these are the reason I love this forum so much. It's cheeky and a little snide but I love the title and don't see much reason for offense when the OP just made a fantastic contribution to the forum.
