To browse for and purchase music:

Audio File Formats Supported by iPod mini

AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P) (up to 320 kbps)

Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format, available using iTunes 4.5 or later)

MP3 (up to 320 kbps)

MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)

WAV

AA (Audible spoken word)

AIFF

ALAC (using iTunes 4.5 or later)

A song encoded using Apple Lossless format has the same quality as the same song

encoded using AIFF or WAV format, but takes up about half the amount of space on

iPod mini. The same song encoded in AAC or MP3 format takes up even less space.

When you import music from a CD using iTunes, it is converted to AAC format by

default.
