Using HP Tunes with Media Center
iTunes is a software program from Apple located
in your All Programs menu that works together with
the HP Tunes area in Media Center. HP Tunes is
linked to your Apple iTunes music Library. Both
programs work together to organize and play
back your favorite music files, CDs, and created
playlists.
Some tasks you must do in the iTunes program with
your mouse and keyboard, and some tasks you
can do from within Media Center with your remote
control. For example, you must add music files to
the iTunes music Library before you can access
them in HP Tunes in Media Center. Also, you can
record your playlists to CDs in the iTunes program
but not in Media Center.
Adding Music to the iTunes music Library
To create your iTunes music Library, you can import
music files from a CD, download iTunes music files
from the iTunes Music Store or the Internet, or import
them from your hard disk drive.
