STEP FIVE (Accessing the iTunes Music Store)

Now that you know how to import songs from a CD, you're ready to download songs from the iTunes Music Store (it's simple, because there's a direct link between iTunes and the iTunes Music Store, so the process is pretty seamless). To visit the iTunes Music Store, you first have to be connected to the Internet, so make sure you're "online." (By the way, if you're not sure how to get online, check out Lesson 5 "Email and the Internet.") Once you're online, click on the words "Music Store" in the Source list (along the left side of the iTunes window). The home page of the iTunes Music Store will appear in your main window. You'll see lots of albums mentioned, and you can click on any of them to jump right to that album (almost everything you see is "clickable"), but instead of clicking on one of those, let's use one of my favorite featuresthe search (we'll actually do the searching in the next step).
