Connecting your MP3 player

You can transfer songs from your library to a portable MP3 player, such as the Apple iPod. iTunes works with several players. For the latest information, visit the iTunes Web site at www.apple.com/itunes

Make sure iTunes is the active application, then connect your MP3 player to your computer with the FireWire or USB cable that came with the player. After a moment, the player's icon appears in the source list. If you are using the Apple iPod and iTunes is set to update it, all selected songs in your iTunes library and playlists are transferred to iPod automatically. If your iPod is not set up to automatically update, you can drag songs from the iTunes library or a playlist to the player's name in the source list.

Some players, such as iPod, have additional options. Buttons for these may appear in the lower-right section of the iTunes window. For more information, choose Show Balloons from the Help menu, then move the pointer over a button.
