About iTunes

iTunes is the software application you use to manage the music on your computer and transfer music to iPod mini. When you connect iPod mini to your computer, iTunes opens automatically.

Here are some of the things you can do with iTunes:

•Purchase and download songs and audiobooks from the iTunes Music Store

•Listen to CDs and digital music

•Add music from CDs to your music library, so you don’t need to have the CD in the drive to play music

•Make your own CDs (if your computer has a CD burner)

•Publish your playlists to the iTunes Music Store

•Listen to podcasts, downloadable radio-style shows delivered over the Internet

•Create dynamic “Party Shuffle” playlists

•Listen to Internet radio stations

This guide explains how to transfer songs to iPod mini using iTunes and manage songs on iPod mini. For information about using the other features of iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes and Music Store Help.
