LISTEN TO MUSIC

Your music won’t magically appear on your iPod, although if you’ve

purchased a secondhand iPod you might find music left behind by the

previous owner. Instead, you must go through a two-step process to

move music to the iPod: First you put your music in your iTunes

Library; then you can copy it to your iPod.

Add Music to Your iTunes Library

In this section, I cover two common methods of adding music to your

iTunes Library:

• Copy the music from your audio CDs (below).

• Buy music from the iTunes Store, and download it to your iTunes

Library on your computer. This method is perfect if you have a

broadband connection and don’t want to purchase a physical CD,

or if you want to buy only one song (although downloading even

one song over a dial-up modem connection can be excruciatingly

slow). The iTunes Store isn’t available in all countries yet, but

Apple keeps bringing it to new markets.

Copy music from a CD

Let’s get started by ripping music to your computer from a music CD.

Here are the steps:

1. Insert a CD into your computer’s disc drive.

2. Open iTunes, if it isn’t already running or doesn’t start automatically.

iTunes may ask if you’d like to import the CD into your iTunes

Library (whether it does or not depends on the On CD Insert

option chosen in the Advanced pane of your iTunes preferences).

3. If the dialog appears, and you’d like to check the song names or

don’t want to copy all the music on the CD into iTunes, click No.

Otherwise, click Yes to begin copying and skip to the part of Step 6

that talks about your disc drive spinning up.

iTunes will select the CD under the Devices heading at the left. If

you’re connected to the Internet, the song names may appear at

the right. Each track on the CD will have its checkbox enabled. The

checked boxes indicate which songs iTunes will copy.

This is a free sample of “Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music.”
