looking for. Open iTunes and click iTunes Store in the list on the left.

 To browse the iTunes Store, choose a category (for example, Music) on the left side of

the iTunes Store home page. You can choose a genre, look at new releases, click one
of the featured songs, look at Top Songs and more, or click Browse under Quick Links
in the main iTunes Store window.

 To browse for podcasts, click the Podcasts link on the left side of the iTunes Store

home page.

 To search the iTunes Store, type the name of an album, song, artist, or composer in the

 To narrow your search results, choose an item from the pop-up menu in the upper left

(the default is All Results). For example, to narrow your search to songs and albums,
choose Music from the pop-up menu.

 To search for a combination of items, click Power Search in the Search Results page.
 To return to the home page of the iTunes Store, click the Home button in the status line

at the top of the page.
