ITUNES IS APPLE’S ALL-IN-ONE media jukebox and iPad management program. It’s a master of many trades: It’s a repository for all the audio, video, ebook, and podcast files in your media library, and it converts CD tracks into digital files. It also syncs any or all of your media to your iPad. It even lets you transfer music, apps, and books you bought on other iOS devices to your tablet. And for $25 a year, the optional iTunes Match service keeps a copy of your music library on iCloud, Apple’s online storage locker (Chapter 16).
This chapter focuses on using iTunes in tandem with your tablet: that is, downloading Store purchases to your computer, and then getting them onto your iPad.
Apple’s latest version of the program is iTunes 11.1, which made its debut at the end of September 2013. This version builds on iTunes 11, which arrived the year before, but adds iTunes Radio to the desktop as well—so all those radio stations you made on your iPad back in Chapter 7 show up there as well.
