I did this for years, then finally gave up and bought an iPod nano to accompany my Pocket PC. The music experience is just so much simpler, faster, and more reliable on the nano. I don't like carrying two devices, per se, but at least it works better this way for me. More power to you if you get the PDA music experience to work for you.

I could also care less about iTunes. I prefer to have my songs in the format of my choice.
Well, just to be clear: the iPod does not require you to buy music from the iTunes Music Store; it will happily accept MP3 files, and iTunes supports one-click MP3 ripping out of the box. You don't even have to use iTunes to sync the music, although I think iTunes' music management is top-notch.
