Have you had any difficulty loading onto your iPod mp3s that you didn't buy from the iTunes store?

I had some tracks I had bought from Napster for my old non-iPod player (which croaked after three months, BTW). Napster tracks are in an encrypted WMA format, and the iPod wouldn't convert them. I just burned the tracks to CD and then re-ripped them back into iTunes as AACs (Apple's format). I've had no problems loading non-iTunes mp3 files onto the iPod.
