Hi, recently I bought a new iPod 20GB color, and I formatted it on my PC rig, thus in my iPod it says its using Windows. When I get my iBook, will I have to do anything different to get it to work on it?

Many people have said PC formatted iPods can be used on Macs, and other than them being FAT formatted I don't see why they would not work. The shuffle is PC formatted.
