I believe that apple has pretty much always stated this for their iPods ever since itunes came out for windows. They want to lock you into iTunes so that they can more easily sell you media from the iTunes store, so of course they're going to say this. Whether it's entirely true or not, however, is never clear. Apple continually comes out with new firmware which intentionally creates problems for third party apps. In the case of the iPod, the third party companies have always been able to adapt their software to work with the new firmware, but MC has recently stated that this "may" not continue to be the case with new iPods.
I am still unclear if the newest iPods and iPod firmware (i.e. the 120GB and the new firmware for the 80 and 160) work with MC13 or not. I have read reports stating problems with MC13, but I've also seen at least one report that the 120 works with MC12. It seems odd that MC12 would work but not MC13, but given that there have only been a couple reports, it's difficult to deternime any "pattern" yet. I'm hoping that more people will try the various combinations and report their findings.

Is this with MC12, MC13, or both?
Also, are you using the latest firmware?
In know that the 160s with the older firmware work with BOTH MC12 and MC13, but I'm not clear if the newest firmware causes problems with MC12, MC13, or both.
Thanks for any details on this,
Larry

Apple's latest Touch and iPhone do NOT work. All iPods should work with latest builds of MC13.
No changes will be made to MC12.

The Touch probably needs iTunes. The others do not.
