Having said that, you have to convert everything to the right format for the Touch - you can;t play DivX etc....
Personally this is what I (and many others) dislike about the iPod/Touch products -- they want you to use certain media formats. I don't like how the devices are not open and that you are basically forced to use itunes to get stuff to/from the device. Also frustrating are the limited codecs which the ipod devices support.

If it weren't for the Apple name and the mighty marketing muscle, I don't know how the ipod ever became the smash hit it did. In terms of the devices, I don't even see what's so "cool" or sexy looking about them.

Please.. no offence to any apple folks here, I am just speaking from my own opinions.
