ÂAIFF

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.

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 nano 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 nano, you can convert it to a format iPod nano supports. For more information, see iTunes and Music Store Help.

If you accidentally set iPod nano 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 nano settings, such as song repeat, are also reset.

Note: If you added or removed items from the iPod nano main menu (see “Adding or Removing Items From the Main Menu” on page 8), the Settings menu item might be in a different place. If you can’t find the Reset All Settings menu item, you can restore your iPod nano to its original state and choose a language you understand. See “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” on page 50.
