sdr, the original iPod uses Portalplayer's PP5002 chip, which can handle AAC and is firmware-upgradeable. An upgrade for older iPods (Mac only) will allow them to function with AAC downloads. Owners of PC-compatible iPods won't be able to upgrade to AAC, at least for the time being. To me, that seems to point to a proprietary Apple DRM embedded in release 1.4 of iTunes (replaced by Musicmatch in PC iPods).

Always tell the truth. Then you'll never have to remember what you said the last time.
