I used i-Funbox to access my iPods as simple storage devices.

Wrt to incompatibilities..  never had an issue, and still  
don't.  My iPods are 2nd gen and 3rd gen, and I'm the most  
current I can ever hope to be on my XP with iTunes 10.5.0.142.

Works just fine.

I got my iPods USED. I felt that the prices at brand new were  
totally rediculous. But.. the design of the iPod is brilliant.
