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

If iPod nano displays a “Connect to iTunes to activate Genius” message:

You haven’t activated Genius in iTunes, or you haven’t synced iPod nano since you activated Genius in iTunes. See “Using Genius in iTunes” on page 25.

If iPod nano displays a “Genius is not available for the selected song” message:

Genius is activated but doesn’t recognize the song you selected to start a Genius playlist. New songs are added to the iTunes Store Genius database all the time, so try again soon.

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 sixth menu item (Settings).

3Choose the last menu item (Reset Settings).

4Choose the first 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 on the Main Menu” on page 11) the Settings menu item may be in a different place. If you can’t find the Reset Settings menu item, you can restore

iPod nano to its original state and choose a language. See “Updating and Restoring iPod Software” on page 69.
