What You Can Do
iTunes lets you import songs from music CDs as MP3 files, create your own iTunes library,
listen to hundreds of radio stations on the Internet, and more. Create playlists and move
music to your portable MP3 player, or burn your own music selections on CD-R discs.
Your computer comes with iTunes optimized for Mac OS X and a version for Mac OS 9.
To Get Started
1
Open iTunes in the iTunes folder (located in the Applications folder).
2 Insert a music CD into your optical drive.
3 Click the checkbox next to the songs you want to import.
4 Click the Import button. Your songs are converted into MP3 files and stored in your iTunes
library.
Tips and Tricks
Create playlists for your favorite sets of songs
A playlist is a list of songs in a specific order. Click the New Playlist button and drag songs
from your iTunes library to the playlist.
Resize the iTunes window or access iTunes from your desktop
Collapse the iTunes window to show just the playback controls and status. Click the zoom
box in the upper-right corner of the iTunes window. You can also access iTunes controls from
the iTunes portion of the Control Strip (in Mac OS 9) or the Dock (in Mac OS X).
Look up CD information from CDDB
iTunes automatically connects to the CDDB database on the Internet for information about
each song on the CD, then stores it in your iTunes library.
Connect your computer to your stereo system
Use a miniplug-to-RCA cable (not included) to connect the headphone jack (f) on your
computer to the audio input ports on your stereo.
