I have a 60 gig video that i've been running on a PC. As I am planning to move over to a new MB Pro, and my iPod is formated to windows. Does this matter or will it just be a plug-and-play thing? Moreover, can I switch it back and forth? Just curious. Thanx.

    there's no problem using window formatted ipod on mac since it's FAT32.

    However, mac formatted ipod cannot be used on window PC.

    If you're plannibg to use it on windows and mac then stick to FAT32 format.
