About iTunes

iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your content on iPod classic. iTunes can sync music, audiobooks, podcasts, and more with iPod classic.

If you don’t already have iTunes installed on your computer, you can download it at www.apple.com/downloads. iPod classic requires iTunes 10.7 or later.

You can use iTunes to import music from CDs and the Internet, buy songs and other audio and video from the iTunes Store, create personal compilations of your favorite songs (called playlists), and sync your playlists with iPod classic.

iTunes also has a feature called Genius, which creates playlists and mixes of songs from your iTunes library that go great together. You can sync Genius playlists that you create in iTunes to iPod classic, and you can create Genius playlists and listen to Genius Mixes on iPod classic. To use Genius, you need an iTunes Store account.

iTunes has many other features. You can burn your own CDs that play in standard CD players

(if your computer has a recordable CD drive); listen to streaming Internet radio; watch videos and TV shows; rate songs according to preference; and much more.

For information about using these iTunes features, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
