I'm thinking about getting an iPod, but i have a question. I've seen some posts about conversion between a mac and PC formatted iPod, but the problem is, i use Windows at home(sadly, not enough money to buy a Mac yet) and OS X at work...so i really really need to be able to put mp3's on and take mp3's off my iPod at home. I'd rather keep it Mac formatted if possible, i like iTunes, not a big fan of windows. I don't necessarily need to sync it, just be able to access that filesystem i guess...any ideas?

Use EphPod with MacOpener. Allow you to keep it Mac formatted and use it on a PC.
