Congratulations on purchasing your iPod mini. Read this section to get started using iPod mini quickly.

iPod mini works with the iTunes music software included on the iPod CD. Use iTunes to import songs from your CD or digital music collection to your computer, or use the iTunes Music Store (available in some countries only) to purchase songs and download them to your computer. Then organize the songs and transfer them to iPod mini.
