One would be hard put to find a site where most commenters would not own iPods and some be quite hostile to device. Truth is that America is an iPod Nation. With more than half of all digital music players sold and about 70 percent of the digital download market, Apple rules. Eideard, to answer your naive question, it is up to the iPod owner to decide if he will add additional Playlists and how many based on what criteria. Choices such as Purchased and Recently Played are buillt in. I am an iPod owner since the first generation and proud of it!

IMHO, just provide a USB port that way any mp3player or usb thumb drive would work. They already have them in the UK and Best Buy has an OEM replacement car stereo that has a port on the front. The car industry should stay out of the way when it comes to audio formats. disclaimer: I own a sandisk.
