iPod nano” on page 24.
If you want to get started recording video or listening to FM radio, you can set up
iPod nano at a later time. To learn how to record video, see “Using the Video Camera”
on page 52. For information about the FM radio, see “Listening to FM Radio” on

Setting Up Your iTunes Library
To listen to music and watch videos on iPod nano, you first need to get that music and
video into iTunes on your computer.
Importing Music to iTunes
There are three ways of getting music and other audio into iTunes.
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, find the songs you want, and then buy them. If you already have an iTunes
account (also called an Apple ID), 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 below Store on the left
side of the iTunes window.
Add Songs Already on Your Computer to Your iTunes Library
If you have songs on your computer encoded in file formats that iTunes supports, you
can easily add the songs to iTunes. To learn how to get songs from your computer into
iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert nonprotected WMA files to AAC or MP3
format. This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format.
For more information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
