The Ipod only Plays AAC files. However, if you use iTunes, iTunes automatically converts your MP3s, WMA, etc. into AAC files.

The iPod plays any files you have. iTunes does all NEW rips into AAC, but still supports mp3s and all other formats, but if you load a CD and import it, the new rip will be into AAC.

And the Archos is nice, but I went with the iPod because of its smaller size, and the fact that its not a USB external drive but rather a Firewire external drive, which transfers data an unbelievable amount quicker... for single CDs its not much, but when you're doing gigs at a time... whoo-boy does it make a difference.
