55: iTunes: Music Store

The iTunes Music Store offers a wide variety of songs and albums available for purchase. Most songs are $0.99, while most albums are $9.99.
You can download iTunes by selecting "Music Store" from your "Source list" or from www.apple.com.



Go to "Account Sign In" in top right hand corner.



Enter your Apple ID and Password or click "Create New Account".



To search songs, select "Browse".
You can select which genre you would like to browse, and a list of available artists will appear.



If you select the artist, a list of their available albums will appear.
Select an album to view songs by that artist, or select "All" to view all songs.



You can double click on the song to hear a preview, then select "Buy Song" to purchase.
You can also select "Buy Album".
The songs will be located under your iTunes Library and a new playlist will be created titled "Purchased Music", which will have all the songs you have purchased.



You can also choose to have the songs you select appear in your "Shopping Cart" to purchase and download at a later time.
To do this, go to the iTunes menu and select "Preferences".



Select "Store" and "Buy using a Shopping Cart".



Now, if you go to your Shopping Cart, you download the songs all at one time.

Note: Once you purchase and download songs, you will not be able to download them again for free. You should always burn your purchased music to a CD.
