Please note that there are differences between iPods and MP3 media players. When you download music or a video from a web site, they may NOT be compatible between specific
media, mobile and/or portable devices. For example, "The top consumer complaint at online music service Napster: Songs purchased at Napster won't play on Apple's iPod.". Read the USA Today story above, "Closed systems leave song buyers out in the cold".

You can find out more about these differences by looking at the terms under DEFINITIONS above.

While I have made separated sections and distinctions
above for PODCASTS and MP3, many podcasts are in a MP3 audio format that can be downloaded to an iPod or Mp3 media player. You need to pay particular attention if you are downloading music or a video to an iPod or Mp3 media player.

If anyone has any comments or further clarification about this matter, I solicit your feedback.
