the preffered format for the ipod is actually the .aac or .m4a file format. According to my brother (who owns a sound studio along with my father) who has VERY good ears, the m4a files (aac) encoded at 128k per second, sound better than mp3's at 256k.

The itunes software package will automatically encode your cd's into aac files for you.
