Of course it will, because the iPod will be doing the playing.

ACC w/o DRM or Apple DRM ACC :?
If your question is if there are any radios that play ACC with DRM DIRECTLY without an iPod connected to it, then you are out of luck.
Apple to this point doesn't license their ACC w/ DRM to third parties.
Now ACC w/o DRM is another thing, but for that, I don't see enough demand.

AAC is a standard, .m4a is Apple's own take on things.

We all wish it was THAT easy for Apple to "make" standards.
Standards are made when the market / industrie embraces certain things and make it the prefered choice.\
As for ACC, from a technical perspective, it has all it needs.
But M$ with their $&*#^$% WMF is (albeit it's inferiority) still strong in numbers...

What's with your insistence on calling it ACC? It's A AC.

Actually, quality-wise WMF stuff is not too shabby. It's just unfortunate that it's pretty much tied to the Windows platform.

I guess in the future we will se AAC radios, since AAC is the default codec for iTunes (PC and Mac), and more PC users are using iTunes thanks to the store and the iPods ...
