Chapter 3 Setting Up iPod shuffle 11
If you already have iTunes installed on your computer and you’ve set up your iTunes
library, you can skip to the next section, “Adding Music to iPod shuffle” on page 15.
Importing Music into Your iTunes Library
To listen to music on iPod shuffle, you first need to get that music into your iTunes
library on your computer.
There are three ways to get music and other audio into your iTunes library:
 Purchase music and audiobooks or download podcasts online from the iTunes Store.
 Import music and other audio from audio CDs.
 Add music and other audio that’s already on your computer.
Buying Songs and Downloading Podcasts Using the iTunes Store
If you have an Internet connection, you can easily purchase and download songs,
albums, and audiobooks online using the iTunes Store. You can also subscribe to and
download free radio-style audio podcasts. Video podcasts can’t be synced to
iPod shuffle.
To purchase music online using the iTunes Store, you set up an Apple account in
iTunes, find the songs you want, and then buy them. If you already have an Apple
account, or if you have an America Online (AOL) account (available in some countries
only), you can use that account to sign in to the iTunes Store and buy songs.
You don’t need an iTunes Store account to download or subscribe to podcasts.
To sign in to the iTunes Store:
m Open iTunes and then:
 If you already have an iTunes account, choose Store > Sign In, and then sign in.
 If you don’t already have an iTunes account, choose Store > Create Account and follow
the onscreen instructions to set up an Apple account or enter your existing Apple or
AOL account information.
