iTunes is a free app that lets you organise and play digital music and video on your computer. It’s also a store that has everything you need to be entertained. That makes it the perfect place to listen, watch, read, play, explore and shop.
The iTunes player keeps all your music and films all in one place. Instead of going through stacks and stacks of CDs, you can import them into iTunes and quickly browse your whole collection. Organise it any way you want. Move it onto any of your devices. Play it whenever — and wherever — the mood strikes. Even have Genius make mixes of songs that go great together.

Your iTunes library gives you big, beautiful views of all your music, films or whatever else you’re looking for. Browse by albums and let your album art help you quickly spot what you want to hear. Click an album, and it will expand in place. You’ll see a track list, In the Store recommendations and more, so you can play a song while you keep on browsing. Know exactly what you’re after? Just type a word in the search field to see all the songs, albums, artists, films and books that contain that word.

Organise
With iTunes, it’s easy to get all your music organised. Any song or album you purchase from iTunes goes straight into your music library. And when you import your CDs, iTunes automatically adds the album, artist and song names, along with the album art. Then, with your whole collection to choose from, you can create the ultimate playlists for rocking out, working out or chilling out. You can also rate your songs with one to five stars, so it’s easy to find your favourites later.
Play
Just click to listen to your music, watch a film, play a podcast or audiobook, or take in a lecture from iTunes U. With iTunes LP, you can also dive into lyrics and liner notes, watch videos and more. And selected films include iTunes Extras like behind-the-scenes footage, cast and crew interviews, and deleted scenes.
Not sure what you want to hear? Let shuffle decide. And when you need to make room on your screen for more than music, switch to the Mini Player. It’s big enough to let you see the songs that are coming up, search your entire collection and change the track order using Up Next. And small enough that it’s never in the way.
Genius
Genius can search your library to find songs that go great together, then organise them into genre-based mixes you’ll love. It can also put together Genius playlists. Just choose a song you like and select Start Genius. Genius finds songs with the same vibe and assembles a new playlist for you. When you expand an album in your library, you can also see In the Store recommendations for songs you don’t own yet — but should.
The world’s No.1 music store is about much more than just music. Shop for films, apps and games. Load up on podcasts and books. And check out iTunes U, where you can download lectures, videos and more from top universities, museums and other cultural institutions.
