If you can’t sync a song or other item to iPod shue
The song might have been encoded in a format that iPod shue doesn’t support. The
following audio le formats are supported by iPod shue. These include formats for audiobooks
and podcasts:
•
AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (8 to 320 kbps)
•
Protected AAC (from the iTunes Store)
•
Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format)
•

Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+)

A song encoded in Apple Lossless format has near CD-quality sound, but takes up only about
half as much space as a song encoded in 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.
You can automatically convert les encoded at higher bit rates to 128 kbps AAC les as they’re
synced with iPod shue. See Fitting more songs on iPod shue on page 16.
