The iTunes Music Store is one of the easiest ways to get music, movies and podcasts for your iPhone, iPod or iTouch. Many people do not know how to properly use or utilize iTunes. This is a guide for those people. It will give the basics of how to purchase music and more, along with how to transfer that to your device.

When you open up iTunes, there will be a link for the music store. Click on it, and you will be asked to either login to your account or create a new one. Create a new one, go through all the registration information and if you want to, you can associate a credit card with the account to take advantage of one click purchasing. If you have iTunes gift cards, which can be purchased at a variety of retailers, you can also use these to pay for downloads.

Once you have walked through creating an account, there are several ways to search for content.
