iPhone THE MISSING MANUAL - Cdn.oreilly.com

Here’s the basic rule of using iTunes: Click one of these headings in the Source
list to reveal what’s in that source. The contents appear in the center part of
the iTunes window.
The playback and volume controls, which work just as they do on the iPhone,
are in the top left corner of iTunes. At the upper-right corner is a Search box
that lets you pluck one track out of a haystack. Next to it, you’ll find handy
buttons to change views within the window. (Cover Flow, like on the iPhone,
is the third button in this grouping.)
Five Ways to Get Music
Once you have iTunes, the next step is to start filling it with music and video
so you can get all that goodness onto your iPhone. iTunes gives you at least
five options right off the bat.
Let iTunes Find Your Existing Songs
If you’ve had a computer for longer than a few days, you probably already
have some songs in the popular MP3 format on your hard drive, perhaps
from a file-sharing service or free music Web site. If so, the first time you open
iTunes, it offers to search your PC or Mac for music and add it to its library. Click
Yes; iTunes goes hunting around your hard drive.
