Default iPod & Windows Media
Not sure if this is the right board for this post but...

To any of you who have iPods do they support WMA? It doesn't really say on their website. One of my brother's friend says the Mini does, but even if it does, I don't want a mini. Any help on this subject would be nice.

Oh, and, NO, I don't want to convert all my music files to mp3.

Are you saying Steve Jobs does?

Apple and MS have both always attempted monopolies, it's just that MS is more successful.

apple has worse PR in my eye than ms..... having one dominating (and inferior) product doesn't do it for me...
