What AAC limitation?
IPods play mp3's just fine, so how does the fact that Apple
chose to sell their music as AAC (aka mp4) make any
difference? AAC is an open standard, WMA is not. The music
industry will never allow sales of unencrypted mp3, so
Apple had to chose something else.

A lot of iPod buyers seem to think they made a wise
decision. And so does HP.
