Purchase 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. You can also subscribe to and download podcasts, and
you can download free educational content from iTunes U.
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 download or subscribe to podcasts.
To enter the iTunes Store, open iTunes and click iTunes Store (under Store) on the left side of the
iTunes window.

add the songs to iTunes. To learn how to get songs from your computer into iTunes, open iTunes
