If songs or data load more slowly over USB 2.0

ÂIf you load a large number of songs or amount of data using USB 2.0 and the iPod battery is low, iPod loads the information at a reduced speed in order to conserve battery power.

ÂIf you want to load at higher speeds, you can stop loading and keep the iPod connected so that it can recharge, or connect it to the optional iPod USB 2.0 Power Adapter. Let iPod charge for about an hour, and then resume loading your music or data.

If you can’t load a song or other item onto iPod

The song may have been encoded in a format that iPod doesn’t support. The following audio file formats are supported by iPod. These include formats for audiobooks and podcasting:

ÂAAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps)

ÂApple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format)

ÂMP3 (up to 320 Kbps)

ÂMP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)

ÂWAV

ÂAA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4)

ÂAIFF

A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has full CD-quality sound, but takes up only about half as much space as a song encoded using AIFF or WAV format. The same song encoded in AAC or MP3 format takes up even less space. When you import music from a CD using iTunes, it is converted to AAC format by default.

Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3 format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.

iPod does not support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible.com format 1.

If you have a song in iTunes that isn’t supported by iPod, you can convert it to a format iPod supports. For more information, see iTunes Help.

If you accidentally set iPod to use a language you don’t understand

You can reset the language.

1Press and hold Menu until the main menu appears.

2Choose the fifth menu item (Settings).

3Choose the last menu item (Reset All Settings).

4Choose the second menu item (Reset) and select a language. Other iPod settings, such as song repeat, are also reset.
