iPod for Luddites

So my wife bought me an iPod Nano for our wedding anniversary (tomorrow). I have very little (no) experience with such a device. I still buy records (yes, vinyl). I recently bought a stereo amplifier which has vacuum tubes. (Really, and it sounds pretty damn good too!) It looks like I have to install the worst software in the world (barring my own of course), iTunes. Is that the only way to get the thing working or does Windows Media Player know what an iPod is? I am also trying to figure out what formats it supports and how to copy stuff onto it (from CD, I'm not totally backward!). I could spend the next 2 hours looking it up but there must be an expert on here... Oh and it seems to have the new Buzz Lightyear connector that doesn't plug into anything else - not that that really matters.

Sell it and buy a dozen MP3 players; they're much easier to live with.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

I discovered it has a built in FM radio - which works really well. Pretty good for the size of it. That feature may just get used more often than the music library... It is very tiny and sleek - I may be starting to like an Apple product. :~
