If you already have iTunes 10 or later installed on your computer and you’ve set up
your iTunes library, you can skip to the next section, “Connecting iPod shue to a
Computer for the First Time” on page 15.
Setting Up Your iTunes Library
To listen to music on iPod shue, you rst 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 to your iTunes library.
Purchasing Songs and Download 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 (available in selected countries).
You can also subscribe to and download audio podcasts, and you can download free
educational content from iTunes U. Video podcasts can’t be synced to iPod shue.
To purchase music online using the iTunes Store, you set up a free iTunes account in
iTunes, nd the songs you want, and then buy them. If you already have an iTunes
account, you can use that account to sign in to the iTunes Store and buy songs.
You don’t need an iTunes Store account to play or download podcasts or iTunes U
classes.
To enter the iTunes Store, open iTunes and click iTunes Store (under Store) on the left
side of the iTunes window.
