Are you listening to the stock headphones that come with the ipod? That is probably the problem, as those are not the best. A mix will never sound exactly the same wherever you take it. Also, if it's on your ipod it's most likely a lossy format (mp3, aiff). You lose alot of the higher frequencies when converting (like 16k and above).

just know not to convert your lossy to lossless. That would be even worse.
