This isn't correct, all iPods handles MP3 as well as MP4, MP4 (iTunes music store DRMd file which they don't sell anymore), WAV and Apple Lossless. 

The files you buy from the iTMS are in MP4 format (which more and more DAPs play these days, including my Nokia E71) but you can play MP3's from Amazon etc just fine on the iPod.
