Ipod owners are not forced to buy songs exclusively from Apple. Ipods support MP3s and they're rather easy to import into Itunes.
THis is true. Songs downloaded from itunes cannot easily be played in another player however. INstead. they must be converted from the Apple format to mp3 or wav, but there are many shareware or cehap programs out there that let you do this (although perhaps not legally).
