The store integration is through [Magnatune][3], an online record company whose motto is "we're not evil." At the moment Magnatune has a relatively small roster of artists compared to iTunes, but as more artists and consumers alike become fed up with draconian DRM restrictions, Magnatune's possiblities look good.
For those that aren't familiar with Amarok, it's somewhat like iTunes, but has additional features like integrated Wikipedia entries for bands, auto-discovery of newly added songs, lyrics download, and more. And yes it does sync with your iPod.
Amarok version 1.4.4 is a free download and requires the KDElibs.
OS X users interested in Amarok can install the package via Fink, though it's good to have some experience with the command line before attempting an install. There are [instructions on the Amarok Wiki][2].
