I don't know if you can use other than iTunes to "play" songs on your iPod.
yes, you can do that too, though it's harder than copying songs off an iPod because it entails updating a database on the Pod; there are supposedly tools which will also do this for the iPhone OS platform too
Which leads me to believe if there is software out there (and when is there ever not) that will let you play ANY kind of music file from a disk, it can be made to play on Apple's iPod.
well, you can convert any music file to a format an iPod will play, but you can't change what formats iPods play -- they can't learn new formats unless Apple releases new firmware
The ladders and hoops Apple makes you go through with iTunes is to keep you from making multiple copies of the DRM protected and purchased songs that you get from their iTunes Store online.
