Do I have to have an Apple Ipod to download my purchased mp3s from itunes or will any mp3 player work?
no you dont have to purchase an ipod, as long as your MP3 player can play AAC(if it comes in that format from itunes i dont know)then your good to go with any MP3 player. If it comes in MP3 format which it most likely does, then well..... it is obviously going to work.
