    media player classic (opensource media player, low profile, high compatability)
    cccp (its a codec pack)
    new winamp (it includes the flac codec)

    flac is a lossless codec that is smaller than .wav (if you like 'better than mp3 or ogg' audio)
    cccp includes just about every video codec, even the more exotic ones which a lot of torrents have (mkv, etc.) to prevent randoms from leeching

    cccp stands for USSR in russian.

    yeah its also a codec pack, and its icon/logo is a red hammer and sickle so i'm pretty sure they understand the connection...

    its an allusion, and i think everyone who downloads it 'gets it'

    I don't know what programs you want/use are, if you are concerned just wait until you find something you can't do then fix it...

    And a quick googling seemed to suffice for the ipod question
