Music for iPods and MP3 Players

Now that we have our MP3 players, where do we get our music? There are many sources available, but one to consider is the iTunes Store.

iTunes is an application, introduced by Apple Inc. in 2001 that has gained and maintained a reputation for being easy to use. iTunes is available as a free download for Macintosh and Windows operating systems from Apple's website and is used for playing and organizing digital music and video files. As of June 19, 2008, Apple had sold 5 billion songs using the iTunes Store, where you can legally download your favorite songs on iTunes and buy music, movies, TV shows, and audiobooks .

Officially, using iTunes is required in order to manage the audio of an Apple IPod portable audio player; however, alternative software for this purpose does exist. For those of us who have MP3 players that are not iPods, iTunesMyWalkman is a great application to use.

Ways to listen to your music through iTunes:

1. If you have a sound card and a set of speakers, you can listen through your computer
2. Use your iTunes library with one of the Motorola/Cingular iTunes phones
3. Wirelessly stream iTunes music from your computer to your hub-connected home-theater speakers
4. iTunes also has a radio option that allows you to play live streams of Internet radio from a variety of stations

Click here to visit the Apple Store today and put your music and video collection a click away. Organize, browse, grow, and share your digital music and video collection with iTunes.
