iTunes doesn't work with any other peice of hardware unless it's accedental (think a palm phone can synch with it for some odd reason), but you can't use Napster or any other service like iTunes with your iPod.  They force your only legal downloads to come from iTunes.  I don't have a problems with that, but for people who have hundreds of dollars invested in iTunes that's a problem if they want to switch to a Zune or Creative

It's not accidental, of course... interfacing with iTunes is a feature of pieces of hardware such as the Palm Pre.

As to someone forcing your only legal downloads to come from iTunes, let me say: "uh?"

Build your MP3/AAC library any way you want and a plethora of software tools will allow you to organize it in playlists and sync with your iPod.

Unless you buy something like a DRM-locked WMA file that your iPod won't play, but then you're the culprit. When you accept to pay money for a DRM-encumbered content, you're accepting that you will be restricted in the way you manage and playback that content. But it's not as if there's no choice: I don't think there's music out there that is exclusive to a given DRM format.

iTunes does sell DRM-free versions of all its content for what I know, and you can manage and play that music however and wherever you want.
