Managing space on an iPod shuffle or iTunes-enabled phone
You can maximize the number of songs that fit on your iPod shuffle or iTunes-enabled mobile phone, and change the amount of space reserved for music (as opposed to other non-music files such as documents).
To manage space on your iPod shuffle or iTunes-enabled phone:
- Connect the device to your computer.
- When the device appears in the iTunes window, select it, click Settings, and then do one or more of the following:
- To maximize the number of songs that fit on the device, select "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 Kbps AAC."
- To control how much space is reserved for music, drag the slider to the left to use more of the free space for music (this won't affect any documents or other files already stored on the device).
iTunes loads the number of songs that fit in the space not used by or reserved for non-music files.
For more information about using your iPod shuffle, see the documentation that came with it or visit the iPod website.
