You can view your music in one of three views: List, Grid, or Cover Flow. List view is the most practical because you can view more tracks per screen without scrolling, but Grid view is a nice choice if you want to view your CDs as icons. The text is also larger, making it easier to read if you have eyesight issues.
Cover Flow offers large icons with track listings below. It can be fun to scroll through your album covers! To change your view, you only need to click one of the three view buttons at the top of the screen to the left of the search field.
One of the cool things about iTunes is that you can create playlists of your music by genre or for special events like a party or workout mix. iTunes has created a few Smart Playlists for you already, organized in categories such as your top-rated songs or most recently added songs. You can click these playlists to see their contents. If you want to listen to one, just select it and click Play.
Create your own playlist by clicking the + button in the lower-left corner of your screen or by choosing File > New Playlist. A new list will be added and you can type in a descriptive name, like Road Trip, Birthday Mix, or whatever you want. Once you’ve created your playlist, click Music under Library to access all of your music titles. You can drag the songs that you want to include over to your playlist. Hold down the shift or ctrl key to make multiple selections.
It only makes sense that if all of your music is in one place and you’ve created all of these wonderful playlists, you should be able to burn them to disc to take them with you or to share. The easiest way to do this is to select a playlist that you would like to burn, and then click the Burn button in the lowerright corner. You will be prompted to insert your blank CD, and iTunes will handle the rest. You can also ctrl-click the playlist and select Burn Playlist to CD from the menu.
You can opt to burn an audio CD, playable in most of today’s modern CD players, or you can burn an MP3 disc. MP3 discs are only playable in CD players with MP3 capabilities, but they use better compression, so you can fit more music on them.
You may be able to put as many as 19 or 20 tracks on a music CD or more than 150 on the same CD using the MP3 format. If the playlist that you’ve selected will not fit on one CD, iTunes will warn you before it starts to burn your list to disc. You can then either remove tracks so that they all fit onto a single CD or use multiple CDs to burn your playlist to.
On the General iTunes preferences tab, you can change the name of your iTunes library and choose what categories/types of files iTunes lists in the sidebar. You can also set your preferences for importing CDs and set your text size.
On the Playback tab, you can select from options that affect how iTunes plays your music and videos. You can check the Crossfade Songs box to have songs that are ending fade out and new songs fade in. You can also tell iTunes to play videos in a new window or to play them in full screen by default. This is where you can also select to use closed captioning when available as well as subtitles.
