Importing Music into Your iTunes Library

To listen to music on iPod nano, you first need to get that music into iTunes on your computer.

There are three ways of getting music and other audio into iTunes:

ÂPurchase music, audiobooks, and videos, or download podcasts online from the iTunes Store.

ÂImport music and other audio from audio CDs.

ÂAdd music and other audio that’s already on your computer to your iTunes library.

Purchasing Songs and Downloading Podcasts Using the iTunes Store

If you have an Internet connection, you can easily purchase and download songs, albums, audiobooks, and videos online using the iTunes Store. You can also subscribe to and download podcasts.

To purchase music online using the iTunes Store, you set up an Apple account in iTunes, find the songs you want, and then buy them. If you already have an Apple account, or if you have an America Online (AOL) account (available in some countries only), you can use that account to sign in to the iTunes Store and buy songs.

You don’t need an iTunes Store account to download or subscribe to podcasts.

To sign in to the iTunes Store:

mOpen iTunes and then:

ÂIf you already have an iTunes account, choose Store > Sign In.

ÂIf you don’t already have an iTunes account, choose Store > Create Account and follow the onscreen instructions to set up an Apple account or enter your existing Apple account or AOL account information.

You can browse or search the iTunes Store to find the album, song, or artist you’re looking for. Open iTunes and select iTunes Store in the source list.

ÂTo browse the iTunes Store, choose a category (for example, Music) on the left side of the main page in the iTunes Store. You can choose a genre, look at new releases, click one of the featured songs, look at Top Songs and more, or click Browse under Quick Links in the main iTunes Store window.
