New iPod nano... Help and suggestions...?

Hi. I'm getting an iPod nano 4th generation as a late Christmas present and I wanted to ask a few things about it:

1. I wanted to know if you have to have iTunes to sync music to the iPod or if you can sync it with another program such as Windows Media Player.

2. I was wondering if the "genius feature" on the iPod only works with songs you buy from iTunes or if it also works with songs from (for ex.) a CD, that a friend sent you by e-mail or from another mp3 player.

3. What's a dock adapter and what can you use it for?

4. Is a "cover" for the iPod necessary? What are the best kinds?

5. Do you need a special program to sync movies from a dvd?

6. Does the iPod come with any songs?

I would also appreciate any suggestions you might have for me about iPods...

Thanks!

Update:

Oh! I also forgot to ask what kind of earphones come with it...

    They come with just standard white ear phones. They work pretty well but they blow easily after a while. Ipods dont come with songs on them already. I have iTunes but you can put your music from windows media player on it and sync. Just go to file and import file or if you have playlists you can choose import playlist. I dont have a cover but they help protect it from scratches. Just depends on if youre bad about dropping things. I should probably get one because I am. lol. A dock adaptor is a fitting you slide into an ipod dock to hold your ipod in place and you can play your music on like an Ipod stereo thing. They also have Ipod chairs, pillows, etc that you can listen to music on. Hope this helps! Good luck with the new iPod!! =]
