An iPod can play music files from anywhere providing they are in a suitable format. The iPod plays audio in the following formats: AAC, MP3, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF and WAV. Music files can be purchased from any retailer that offers a download service such as the iTunes Store, Amazon etc. or they can be added to the iPod from any CDs that you own.

Yes, iPods play .mp3 files.
have you loged into itunes before importing if they are encrypted they need you to login before it will play
You can purchase music in MP3 format from sites such as Amazon mp3. These mp3 files can be played on the majority of media players such a Windows Media Player, Winamp or iTunes. You can also purchase music from the iTunes Store. However these files can only played within the iTunes player (although you can download codecs which will allow mp4 files, the file format iTunes and iPods use, to play on Windows Media Player.).
No. The only video format that iPods will be able to recognize and play are mp4 files
An iPod is an mp3 player which can also play other file types. Mp3 players, by definition, would play only mp3 files, although many today can also play other file types. iPods have the advantage of using iTunes, a free program, to manage music files, videos, apps and photos (if the player can use these types of files) easily. It also allows access to the iTunes store.
Really.. Can you play an mp3 on your computer..?
It does as long as the files are unlocked.
You have to rip them if they're unprotected and encode them to H.264 mpeg format or buy them from iTunes; but iPods do not have a disk drive on them and therefore cannot play DVD videos or .ifo files (DVD files). Or, you can convert your DVD files to iPod MP4 format with a DVD ripper software.
If you copy files to iTunes Library, you will have 2 copies of the file on your computer. iTunes can play files that are not in the iTunes Library. It makes a link to them, like an alias. For example, if you download a song, it might be in your downloads folder. If you let iTunes copy it to the iTunes Library, it will be in your downloads folder and your iTunes Library. If you delete the song from the downloads folder, it will still be in your iTunes Library, and iTunes can still play it. If you don't copy it to your iTunes Library, and delete it from the downloads folder, iTunes will not be able to play it. You should set up iTunes so that it takes care of the files the way you wish. Don't try to arrange the files yourself by dragging them or copying them yourself into the iTunes Library folder. If you do that you might not see them in iTunes because the iTunes database has not been updated by iTunes. This is also true if you move files between the iTunes album or artist folders. Let iTunes do it and it will maintain the database and you can play all your music.
A .torrent file is not an audio file. iPods cannot play .torrent files.
Yes, the iPod will play .mp4 and .mp3. .mp4 files are iTunes songs as you originally downloaded them, and .mp3 files are either converted files that you converted in iTunes or files that you did not get through iTunes. The iPod supports a variety of audio formats: AAC, Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3, Audible, Apple Lossless, AIFF (as found on CDs), and WAV.
