iTunes is a store, a player, and a way to get music and more on your computer, iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV.

iTunes Jukebox
* Turn your CDs into digital files by importing them into iTunes. Then organize your collection — including iTunes Store purchases — into playlists. Since all your music and video lives on your Mac or PC, you can browse and play with a click — even flip through your album art.

iTunes Store
* Imagine an entertainment superstore open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. One that delivers anything you want, instantly. Shop the iTunes Store for music, movies, TV shows, iPod games, audiobooks, free podcasts, and more. And you can give as good as you get with iTunes gifts.

iTunes Syncing
* The moment you connect to your Mac or PC, iTunes syncs music and more. You can even sync iTunes Store purchases from your iPhone or iPod back to your computer. And thanks to wireless syncing with Apple TV, your iTunes library plays on your widescreen TV, too.
