When you buy a new iPod, you have to use iTunes to transfer music from your computer to your iPod. However, before this is done, you actually need to transfer all of your music into iTunes.
This is what we have addressed on this page. Most people are in one of two situations:
One, your music exists on CDs. We have presented several videos and text articles on how to transfer your CDs into iTunes. Be forewarned: this can be a time consuming process especially if you have lots of CDs. In fact, if you don’t want to do, there is a local company in your area who specializes in converting your CDs into MP3s.
Two: Your music exists on your hard drive. Many folks already have their music on their computer or an external hard drive. For them, it is simply a matter of importing that music into iTunes. This does not create a “duplicate copy” of the music…it simply lets the iTunes library know exactly where you have your music files stored.
Our goal was to answer the following three questions: (1) How Do I Download Songs Onto iTunes? (2) How Do I Get My Songs On iTunes and (3) How Do I Download Music On iTunes. All of these three questions are essentially the same. The goal is to get music into your iTunes and we have shown you how to do this.
