iirc/iiuc, when you buy songs from iTunes, you get only the rights to play 
that song on an iPod (and have a limited number of transfers (3?) between 
iPods, if you upgrade or get a warranty replacement or similar).  (And, iirc, 
the iPod format is "non-standard" (i.e., neither mp3 nor oggvorbis).

I would think twice before sinking much money into an iTunes collection.  (Of 
course, I don't know if an iPod can handle a more standard format.)
