Hey, I've been able to find some
idiotic instructions about this-and-that regarding the iPod Mini (which have nothing to do with your actual issue :)) & in this case, I'd start with this:

You made three mistakes. First, you took the job. Second, you came light – a four-man crew for me? ******' insulting. But the worst mistake you made … Empty gun rack.
However, it's just a single thing going on here and that's wasting your money on Apple's devices. Their entire business model revolves around using proprietary technology, both software and hardware (down to manufacturing special kinds of screws, so that special tools would be needed to even access something), for the single purpose of trying to make absolutely sure that any-and-all money will go directly them - no matter what's going on, meh. What I'm trying to say is that they're the ultimate rip-off artists.
Here's just one example and most probably they got lucky for only not being in the US: "Apple Sued an Independent iPhone Repair Shop Owner and Lost"

Aanyway, what ARE you trying to do? You do (?!) realize that WACUP, or WinAMP, is used for playing music files which are in
special compressed formats, most commonly
MP3 files. Different "raw" music files ripped-and-or-compressed into MP3s which will be smaller in size than the original and - depending on the options, it can get (just) a little technical - the file sizes will vary. Mostly this is measured and expressed in "
bit rate", like a
128kbps, or 256kbps file (and there's also varying bit rate files and the max is usually 320kbps).
Aanyway x2, I'm guessing that you're wanting to transfer some music files from a PC, or wherever, to your iPod Mini? So, you could:

^^ Without me spamming the forums with more
DuckDuckGo query results, is this what you were
even talking about?..:) Basically, I think it's all done via iTunes, no?! In any case (geez, what I novel I've posted here, LOL), hope it helps! =)
