I think, and someone who actually owns an ipod can confirm, that ITunes 
will suck in mp3s just fine and convert them more or less seamlessly to 
whatever format the ipod wants them in.

The thing to keep in mind for your neice, though, is if she is like most 
 children she probably wants major label music which she isn't going to 
find on emusic.  Or I don't know.  Maybe she's way cooler at 9 than 
anybody I knew back then.  Would she be into the Dischord catalog?
