Can anyone help?

1. Do I have to convert all my mp3 files to m3u formats to be able to play them in the Ipod?
2. Is it possible to play avi./wmv/mov files in the ipod, or is it necessary to convert these as well?

help very appreciated

m3u is a playlist file... what you need to do is put your songs on your iPod using iTunes.

I can't remeber the work around with 'non' iTunes songs but you can google that.

1. mp3 is fine. if you want to make them bookmarkable, you need to convert them into m4a. try also apples aac-format, smaller files and better quallity.

2. don't know, but i guess you can use all these movie-files.

thank you both! checking itunes right now and will follow your advice regarding format and other software

after you have installed itunes, you can also use "Advanced > Convert Selection to MP3" (or whatever format you have chosen in the Preferences) to chance file formats
