depends on his source for music. itunes is just a music tool. If he obtains his music from itunes and has a mostly .mp4 library, he will have to convert the files. If they have DRM’s (such as purchased tracks) then its even more of a pain to have to convert.
If he just rips his own cd’s or downloads .mp3’s, then he should be fine. The player will work in MSC mode on the mac for all intents and purposes.
Drawbacks = playlist will have to be .m3u’s (not very user friendly) and will not be able to use subscription services such as napster, yahoo, etc…
