The iPod plays MP3s. Don't import the CDs using iTunes; insert the  
CD, then copy the files by dragging them into iTunes (create a new,  
blank playlist, then drag them onto the iTunes window when that  
playlist is displayed - then you can tag all the files with name,  
artist, etc.). After you've done that, select all the files, then  
File > Get info, and check Remember Playback Position, at least of  
the MP3 files are long enough for that to be important. (On many MP3  
audiobook CDs they aren't.)
