About iTunes

iTunes is the software application you use to manage the music on your PC and transfer music to iPod. When you connect iPod to your PC, iTunes opens automatically.

Here are some of the things you can do with iTunes:

Purchase and download songs and audiobooks from the iTunes Music Store (available in some countries/regions only)

Listen to CDs and digital music

Add music from CDs to your music library, so you don’t need to have the CD in the drive to play music

Make your own CDs (if your PC has a CD burner)

Publish your playlists to the iTunes Music Store (available in some countries/ regions only)

Create dynamic “Party Shuffle” playlists

Listen to Internet radio stations

This guide explains how to transfer songs to iPod using iTunes and manage songs on iPod. For information about using the other features of iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes and Music Store Help.
