Ipod 1st and 2nd Gen. Firmware 1.3 Officially released.

[NeoMadHatter]

The iPod Software 1.3 Update provides iTunes 4 support, including playback of AAC encoded audio files (Mac-only). For Windows users, iPod Software 1.3 adds support for Audible.com content. Additional enhancements include audio playback and user interface improvements, increased playback time on scroll-wheel iPods, and longer stand-by time for all iPods.

iPod Software Update 1.3 is only compatible with touch-wheel and scroll-wheel iPods without a dock connector. The recently introduced iPods (April 28, 2003) do not need this update.

does it allow for on the fly playlists, like the 3rd gen iPods?

No, the only visible change really is that the About button has been replaced by Backlight and that it now supports AAC. None of the cool features on the new 3rd gen iPods.
