No question about it, it's easier to give in to proprietary standards
than to resist and push the manufacturers to adopt the open standards.

When you talk about an iPod, you are talking about Apple who has an axe

And just out of curiosity, doesn't iTunes convert the mp3 files into AAC
format before putting them on your iPod?
