When you are at your computer, you'll likely use iTunes to listen to your music because you can easily get to the specific music to which you want to listen, such as by using your Library, creating playlists and smart playlists, and so on. When you are on the move, you'll probably use your iPod to listen to your tunes. At other times, you might want to put music on a CD to take with you, such as when you are traveling in a car with a standard CD player. Or, you might want to back up your music on a DVD to keep your collection safe. Using iTunes, you can quickly and easily burn CDs or DVDs so that they contain any collections of music you want them to.
