Purchasing Music or Audiobooks

When you find a song, album, or audiobook you like in the iTunes Store, you can purchase and download it to iPod touch. You can preview an item before you purchase it to make sure it’s what you want.

Preview a song or audiobook: Tap the item.

Purchase and download a song, album, or audiobook:

1Tap the price, then tap Buy Now.

2Sign in to your account as requested, then tap OK.

If you don’t have an Apple account, tap Create New Account to set one up.

Your purchase is charged to your Apple account. For additional purchases made within the next fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again.

An alert appears if you’ve previously purchased one or more songs from an album. Tap Buy if you want to purchase the entire album including the songs you’ve already purchased, or tap Cancel if you want to purchase any remaining songs individually.

Some albums include bonus content, which is downloaded to your iTunes library on your computer. Not all bonus content is downloaded directly to iPod touch.

Once you purchase an item, it begins downloading and appears on the Downloads screen. See “Checking Download Status” on page 145.

Purchased songs are added to a Purchased playlist on iPod touch. If you delete the Purchased playlist, iTunes creates a new one when you buy an item from the iTunes Store.

You can redeem iTunes Store gift cards, gift certificates, or other promotional codes to make purchases. When you’re signed in to your account, your remaining store credit appears with your account information at the bottom of most iTunes Store screens.

Enter a redemption code: Tap Music (tap More first, if Music isn’t visible), then tap

Redeem at the bottom of the screen and follow the onscreen instructions.
