Can someone explain 'iTunes'?

[Oxy]

I see these giftcards available EVERYWHERE.

Everyone seems to be buying hem.

What are they?

iTunes allows you to download legal music and listen to it on your iPod.

A word of warning - iTunes downloads are encrypted with DRM (digital rights management). The tracks will never be yours and have certain restrictions set upon them. If I were you I would head over to 7digital or eMusic.

iTune gift cards are basically pre-paid gift cards for the person to spend in the iTunes store (i think)

So if I wanted to find this song called 'Balle Balle Pind de Kuri' - what do I do.

1) Buy this card

Then what?

2) Do people pay to buy music

3) How much does it cost

4) Where do they buy it from?

Sorry for sounding thick - but I am confused.

[Awesome Anjum]

1) I'm sure you can buy directly from iTunes store.
2) Yes.
3) Around 79p depending upon track length.
4) Who do you mean by 'they'? iTunes get music from digital music suppliers like IODA.

4) You would need to download itunes software by which you will have access to itunes store

So iTunes isnt a shop, its all online?

iTunes is a free application that you download - it allows you to play music etc

within the iTunes there is something called iTunes Store, this is where you can search for songs and purchase them - the giftcards are i assume something you give to others so they can go onto the iTunes store and download songs

An IPOD is pretty handy. You can fit a lot of music on it. You can have your CD collection in your pocket. Uhm and all your friend's as well.

A radio is more interesting though i.e. listening to a radio host at times etc.
