Four Steps to Playing Music on iPod mini
To set up iPod mini, you install software from the iPod CD, and import songs from your
music CD collection or purchase songs from the iTunes Music Store (available in some
countries only). Then you transfer the songs to iPod mini as the battery charges, then
start listening to music.
Step 1: Install the Software
Insert the iPod CD into your computer and install iTunes and the iPod mini software.
Step 2: Import Music to Your Computer
Complete this step if you haven’t already transferred music to your computer. You can
import music from your audio CDs, or if you have an Internet connection, you can buy
music online and download it to your computer using the iTunes Music Store. You can
browse over a million songs and listen to a 30-second preview of any song. The iTunes
Music Store is available in some countries only.
To import music to your computer from an audio CD:
1 Insert a CD into your computer. iTunes opens automatically and the CD is selected in
the iTunes Source list.
2 Uncheck songs you don’t want to transfer, then click Import.
3 Repeat for any other CDs with songs you’d like to import.
To buy music online:
1 Open iTunes and click Music Store in the Source list.
2 Click the Account button and follow the onscreen instructions to set up an account or
enter your existing Apple Account or America Online (AOL) account information (this
option is available in some countries only).
