30 Chapter 6 Tips and Troubleshooting
A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has near 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.
You can have iPod shuffle automatically convert files encoded at higher bit rates to 128
kbps AAC files as they’re synced with iPod shuffle. See “Fitting More Songs onto
iPod shuffle” on page 19.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert unprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3
format. This can be useful if you have a collection of music encoded in WMA format.
iPod shuffle 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 shuffle, you can convert it to a
format iPod shuffle supports. For more information, see iTunes Help.
If your podcasts or audiobooks don’t play correctly
 Make sure the three-way switch on iPod shuffle is set to play in order (). If a
playlist includes mixed tracks (songs, podcasts, and audiobooks, for example),
audiobooks and podcasts won’t play if iPod shuffle is set to shuffle (¡).
 If the chapters of an audiobook were added to iPod shuffle out of order, connect
iPod shuffle to your computer and rearrange the tracks using iTunes.
If you want to double-check the system requirements
To use iPod shuffle, you must have:
 One of the following computer configurations:
 A Macintosh with a USB 2.0 port
 A Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port or a USB 2.0 card installed
 One of the following operating systems: Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later, Windows Vista, or
Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
 Internet access (a broadband connection is recommended)
 iTunes 8.1 or later (iTunes can be downloaded from www.apple.com/ipod/start)
If your Windows PC doesn’t have a high-power USB 2.0 port, you can purchase and install
a USB 2.0 card.
