Moving music from windows to mac through iPod

[asphalt-proof]

I have some music files on my XP machine that I need to move to my mac. I want to do this by my iPod. Can I do this. I have already converted the files to mp3 format. I can re-convert to mp4 is that is a better option.
I would like to make the move by using my iPod. How do I work around the ipod being formatted for Windows vs. it being formatted for my mac? Or is this a big deal and i just need to play around with it.
Thanks
