3Put music into the Music folder, or the iTunes folder within the Music folder, in several ways:

￿Buy or download free music from the Internet.

￿Transfer music from CDs you own (drag and drop, or cut and paste).

￿Transfer music from an existing library on another computer (by transferring with an external USB drive, connecting the USB drive to the computer, and then dragging and dropping the files into the Music folder).

Next, choose from where HP TouchSmart Music will show music files:

4From the HP TouchSmart homepage, tap Music.

5Tap Settings, and then tap either Use HP TouchSmart Media library (which is the Music folder on your hard drive) or Use my iTunes library.

iTunes does not come preinstalled. To use iTunes, you have to have access to the Internet, and download and set up an account with iTunes.

You can see all files from the music folder you chose in HP TouchSmart Music.

Moving songs from iTunes into HP TouchSmart Music

HP TouchSmart can play music from only one music library at a time. HP TouchSmart Media Library is the default library. To access songs from iTunes (not preinstalled, downloaded separately) and add them to your music library:

2Set up an iTunes account.

3Open the TouchSmart Music window by tapping the Music tile.

4Tap Settings, and select Use my iTunes library.

Album art

The albums appear in the library.

2Search for the album that does not have artwork.

3Place your cursor over the blank CD icon (the album with no cover art) and right-click.

4In the pull-down menu, click Find Album Info.

The application goes to the Internet to find the album.
