The way iPods store music is engineered specifically to prevent you from using the music that's on an iPod. They store music in a messed up way. You can put un-messed music on them as a USB Mass Storage Device, but then the iPod can't play it.
Isn't the Cobalt iPod compatible? I have non-Apple products that allow me to use my iPod as an alarm and just to play music. I doubt that it would be very difficult to design an iPod-reading USB port. Then again, I wouldn't know how to do it.
