The basic reason to have and use iTunes is to listen to music and other audio, such as podcasts or Internet radio streams. Which, not coincidentally, is the basic point of this chapter. Here, you will learn how to use iTunes to listen to a couple of sources: audio CDs and Internet radio. The good news is that once you know how to use iTunes to listen to these two sources, you know how to listen to other sources you will use as well, such as songs in your playlists, on an iPod, and from shared music.

After you become an iTunes-playing guru, we'll take a look at some of the ways you can configure iTunes to suit your playing preferences.
