Fitting more songs on iPod shuffle

If your iTunes library contains songs in higher bit-rate formats, such as iTunes Plus, Apple Lossless, or WAV, you can set iTunes to convert songs to 128 kbps AAC format as they’re synced with iPod shuffle. This doesn’t affect the quality or size of the songs stored in iTunes.

Convert higher bit-rate songs to AAC format:

1Connect iPod shuffle to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPod shuffle in the list of devices.

3 Click Summary.

4 Select “Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC.” 5 Click Apply.

Note: Songs in formats not supported by iPod shuffle must be converted if you want to sync them with iPod shuffle. For more information about formats supported by iPod shuffle, see If you can’t sync a song or other item to iPod shuffle on page 25.
