Glad you're happy, but...
---I don't buy any music from stores (or e-stores) that limit how
I can use my music. I don't need Apple or Real or Plays for Sure
telling me that my Kelly Clarkson CD is limited to X devices.---

Which wouldn't happen to you using iTunes and an iPod. iTunes
rips to mp3 just fine (along with a whole lot of other formats as
well), and the iPod plays mp3's just fine. You run into limits
when you start purchasing music from online stores, such as the
iTunes Music Store or the MSN Music Store. Otherwise, the iPod
is just as platform neutral as any other player.

Note that you might want to consider the iPod since you use an
iBook, as (with the exception of Real's store), all of the other
music stores are not compatible with Macs, due to MS'
proprietary DRM. Probably wisest to stay away from DRMed
songs altogether, but if you did want to buy online, you'd be
pretty much out of luck beyond the iTMS, due to MS' lockout.
