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 is 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 touch doesn’t support WMA, MPEG Layer 1, MPEG Layer 2 audio files, or audible.
