ÂGetting music from your CD collection, hard disk, or the iTunes Store (part of iTunes and available in some countries only) into the iTunes application on your computer.

ÂOrganizing your music and other audio into playlists, if you want.

ÂLoading playlists, songs, audiobooks, videos, and podcasts onto iPod.

ÂListening to music or other audio on the go.

About iTunes

iTunes is the software application you use with iPod. iTunes can sync music, audiobooks, podcasts, and more with iPod. When you connect iPod to your computer, iTunes opens automatically.

This guide explains how to use iTunes to download songs and other audio and video to your computer, create personal compilations of your favorite songs (called playlists), load them onto iPod, and adjust iPod settings.

iTunes also has many other features. You can make your own CDs that play in standard CD players (if your computer has a CD-recordable 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.
