I have an Apple iPod 30 GB with Video. Yes, it is compatible with a PC as my computer is an eMachine. This iPod holds 7,500 songs, 12,000 pictures & 75 videos & I'm not close to holding any of this yet. Yes, you can import your CDs to your iPod using iTunes. In fact, most of my music on my iPod is imported from my CDs. I have bought a few songs, an album & four videos from iTunes. All iPods run on batteries, no AC adapters, but I do have portable speakers for it that run on batteries or an AC adapter. I have a FM transmitter for it (runs off the iPod when plugged in), but you can get the kind that plugs into the car lighter. This iPod cost me $299. I love it. I just bought an iPod book today in a bookstore to help me understand it a little more.
Hope this helps.
