If you can’t add a song or other item to iPod classic

The song may have been encoded in a format that iPod classic doesn’t support. The following audio file formats are supported by iPod classic. 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’s 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 classic doesn’t 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 classic, you can convert it to a format iPod classic supports. For more information, see iTunes Help.
