It will not act like it has a virus. Instead the Ipod will say it found a corrupted file, an instead of playing the music, it will skip through all the titles of the songs...continuously.
Gotta love this new-age technology!

No, the ipod could not get infected. If it is not a legit mp3/aac/ or whatever format file, then it will not be able to be transfered throught iTunes. Make sure you are using iTunes though. If you are, absolutely no need to worry.

I would only download music from sites that are trusted and have been around for a long time. For my iPod, I only use iTunes!

Data files cannot contain viruses. It is only executable files, or scripts, or other forms of programs with interpreters which can cause viruses.
It is unlikely that music files could contain a virus. (they are just files which another program reads)

Scan the files with Norton or McAfee BEFORE you download them.
