Setting Up iPod nano
You use iTunes on your computer to set up iPod nano to play
your music, video, and other media content. No setup is
needed to record video or listen to FM radio.
Using iTunes
iTunes is the free software application you use to set up, organize, and manage your
content on iPod nano. iTunes can sync music, audiobooks, podcasts, and more with
iPod nano. If you don’t already have iTunes installed on your computer, you can
download it at www.apple.com/downloads. iPod nano requires iTunes 9 or later.
iTunes is available for Mac and Windows.
You can use iTunes to import music from CDs and the Internet, buy songs and other
audio and video from the iTunes Store, create personal compilations of your favorite
songs (called playlists), sync them to iPod nano, and adjust iPod nano settings.
iTunes also has a feature called Genius that creates playlists and mixes of songs from
your iTunes library that go great together. You can sync Genius playlists that you create
in iTunes to iPod nano, and you can create Genius playlists and listen to Genius Mixes
on iPod nano. To use Genius, you need an iTunes Store account.
iTunes has many other features. You can burn your own CDs that play in standard CD
players (if your computer has a recordable CD drive); listen to streaming Internet radio;
watch videos and TV shows; rate songs according to preference; and much more.
