The problem is that your summations are always wrong. No one claimed direct iPod WMA support, but you did claim that those who had WMA files were "SOL," which is false.
The problem is you don't know what you are talking about. The only way an Ipod supports WMA encoded files is if they are encoded with AAC.
If you have WMA files and you wish to keep them WMA files you are SOL if you buy an Ipod. Spin all you want, you can't spin your way out of that
