RE: Best Format for iPod?

Use MediaCoder to convert to LC-AAC.

For LAME MP3 (don't use any other encoder, LAME always gives the best results), I'd recommend a "V" value of 6 or 7 for general music (0=best quality, 9=worst quality).
(note, if you're using MediaCoder to convert to MP3, MediaCoder "inverts" the scale, so quality 0 = "V9", quality 1 = "V8" etc)

For LC-AAC, use Nero's encoder (better than CT, iTunes and FAAC on my tests), and I typically use a "q" value of 0.25, though 0.2 could be fine.

(By the way, these are all VBR settings)
