iTunes: The best digital jukebox with the #1 music store inside.
iTunes
has become a smash hit with music fans, professional musicians and the
entire music industry. The first to offer 99¢ a-la-carte
downloads, iTunes enables Mac and Windows customers to download music
legally, satisfying customers and the music industry alike.
iTunes is #1 in market share for online music downloads and has
sold over 100 million songs - a number that continues to grow
daily. iTunes offers
the following advantages:
Fully-featured digital jukebox -
Along with being the leading music store, iTunes is also a
fully-featured jukebox. You can import CDs into MP3 or AAC
format, create playlists, and burn CDs at full speed at no
additional cost.
iPod - iTunes is the only
music store that supports the top-selling portable digital music
player, the iPod. Seamlessly transfer anything from iTunes
onto your iPod.
Largest Digital Music Catalog -
With over 1 million songs in the store, from all five major record
labels and more than 600 independent labels, iTunes has the
largest digital music catalog of any of the legal services.
With weekly updates and exclusives, new music is always
available. There are also a number of exclusives from
artists like Alanis Morissette, Sting, Incubus, Beastie Boys,
Moby, Alicia Keys, and more. You can listen to 30-second
previews of any song for free.
Own it forever -
People want to own music, not rent it. Once you pay your 99¢
per song, you can burn it to CD as many times as you
want, transfer it to 5 computers, and sync it with iPods.
You don't lose your music after you stop paying a subscription fee.
Free Single of the Week -
Every Tuesday, when new music is added to the ever-growing
selection, you can download a free Single of the Week from the
latest up-and-coming band. They're only available for
one week, so check back often to collect all of them.
Music discovery -
Find new favorites by perusing iTunes Essentials like One Hit Wonders
or Cover Songs, checking out Billboard charts back to 1946, seeing
what your favorite radio station is playing with radio charts,
viewing music videos, and more.
Audiobooks -
iTunes is the only music store that also carries audiobooks.
Choose from over 5,000 titles including best-sellers, classics,
and radio programs. Catch up on your reading as you
walk across campus.
Music sharing -
Listen to other students' collections on your local network.
iTunes looks for other iTunes users on your network who
are sharing their music - Mac or PC - and as if by magic, their
music just shows up in your copy of iTunes. You can listen
to full songs as long as they're connected, and it works just as
well on wireless networks.
