We need to keep one thing in mind -- the IR1000 is focused on being a tuner only, not a front-end for a computer audio library (which makes it a good bit different from the Audiotron, which was designed to be a front-end and had the Internet tuner software added later). As such, there are only a few choices of formats for the IR1000: WMA (due to Microsoft's "take over the market by giving away the product" scheme that worked so well with IE), MP3, RealAudio (gag -- can we say "messy"?), Quicktime, and maybe Ogg Vorbis. At the moment, the IR1000 will support WMA at launch and MP3 shortly afterward.
