About iTunes
iTunes is the software application you use with iPod classic. iTunes can sync music,
audiobooks, podcasts, and more with iPod classic. When you connect iPod classic to
your computer, iTunes opens automatically.
This guide explains how to use iTunes to download songs and other audio and video to
your computer, create personal compilations of your favorite songs (called playlists),
add them to iPod classic, and adjust iPod classic settings.
iTunes also has a feature called Genius that works with iPod classic to create instant
playlists of songs from your iTunes library that go great together. To use Genius, you
need iTunes 8.0 or later and an iTunes Store account.
iTunes also has many other features. You can make your own CDs that play in standard
CD players (if your computer has a CD-recordable drive); listen to streaming Internet
radio; watch videos and TV shows; rate songs according to preference; and much more.
