Four Steps to Playing Music on iPod shuffle

To set up iPod shuffle, you install software from the iPod CD, and import songs from your music CD collection or purchase songs from the iTunes Music Store (available in some countries only). Then you transfer the songs to iPod shuffle for listening on the go.

Step 1: Install the Software

Insert the iPod CD into your computer and install iTunes and the iPod software.

Step 2: Import Music to Your Computer

Complete this step if you haven’t already transferred music to your computer. You can import music from your audio CDs, or if you have an Internet connection, you can buy music online and download it to your computer using the iTunes Music Store. You can browse over a million songs and listen to a 30-second preview of any song.

To import music to your computer from an audio CD:

1Insert a CD into your computer. iTunes opens automatically and the CD is selected in the iTunes Source list.

2Uncheck songs you don’t want to transfer, then click Import.

3Repeat for any other CDs with songs you’d like to import.

To buy music online:

1Open iTunes and click Music Store in the Source list.

2Click the Account button and follow the onscreen instructions to set up an account or enter your existing Apple Account or America Online (AOL) account information (this option is available in some countries only).
