You get a hum when you have your iPod connected to the AUX jack? By any chance is the iPod plugged into the lighter/power socket at the same time? On a recent trip to vegas (before my TCH died) my friend brought his 30 gig video iPod (I've got a nano). When we attached the power adapter to charge the iPod we heard an audible hum as well. When we unpluged the power and ran it on battery the hum went away. This was probably something to do with a ground. Also the video iPod has moving parts where-as my nano has no moving parts and is just flash memory.
I'm not too keen on MP3 format. The algorithm used really taxes the quality of the music to my ears. Apples AAC does a much better job and doesn't use that much more space than mp3's.
