The iPod's 'preferred' music format is AAC, developed to allow the inclusion
of DRM data and is generally not usable outside the ipod. MP3's on the other
hand you can transfer and use on pretty much any machine. It's like with
minidisk - they tried to make ATRAC the new compression standard but luckily
minidisk never really caught on as mp3's were becoming popular in the pc.
