Sorry to be late to the party. I've got a 4GB iPod. I use it primary for listening to podcasts and a small amount of music. I've got a decent FM transmitter in my car, so that's where I listen to it most (30+ minute commute to work each way). Never had a problem with either. I'm also fine using iTunes. Maybe I'm not geeky enough to be a curmudgeon about MP3 players and iTunes. :)
