The iPod is a music player that can play MP3s and a variety of other formats. The iPod is designed to interface with iTunes and the iTunes music store. Most other generic MP3 players will work on a Mac but directly connect to iTunes or download from iTMS. For instance my wife has a little 512mb LG MP3 player which I can drag and drop complete folders or individual music tracks to within a Finder window.There is a list here of players compatible with OSX and iTunes: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93548
