Audio File Formats Supported by iPod mini

•AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (up to 320 Kbps)

•Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format, available using iTunes 4.5 or later)

•MP3 (up to 320 Kbps)

•MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)

•WAV

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

•AIFF

A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has full CD-quality sound, but takes up only about half the amount of 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.

If you are using a Windows PC, 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. For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes and Music Store Help.

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