looking for. Open iTunes and click iTunes Store in the list on the left.

 To browse the iTunes Store, choose a category (for example, Music) on the left side of

the iTunes Store home page. You can choose a genre, look at new releases, click one
of the featured songs, look at Top Songs and more, or click Browse under Quick Links
in the main iTunes Store window.

choose Music from the pop-up menu.

 To search for a combination of items, click Power Search in the Search Results page.
 To return to the home page of the iTunes Store, click the Home button in the status line
