Adding music files from the Internet
For more information about downloading music
from the iTunes Music Store, refer to the Help menu
in the iTunes program.
1 Connect to the Internet.
2 Go to a music Web site such as the iTunes
Music Store.
3 Follow the online instructions to download
your songs. If songs are downloaded from the
iTunes Music Store, they appear in your iTunes
music library.
4 If songs are downloaded to your desktop,
drag them into the iTunes music library. If the
files are in an unprotected .wma format, they
are encoded into .aac files by default (or into
the importing format you select from the
Preferences menu) and placed into the library.
5 To change your import format:
a Click the Edit menu, and then select
Preferences.
b Select the Importing tab.
c Select the Import Using drop-down
menu, and then select an import format.
d Select OK.
6 Select Library. Songs are listed
alphabetically or by the sort order of the
library column heading you select.
Adding music files from your hard disk drive
If the music files are in another format, iTunes will
automatically convert most files to the .aac format
before it adds them to your iTunes music library.
1 Click Start on the taskbar, choose
All Programs, iTunes, and then click
iTunes.
2 Click the File menu, and then select Add File
to Library. Click the drop-down arrow to
browse for your music files. Select your file,
and then click Open.

If your songs don’t
appear in HP Tunes,
make sure your
songs are added to
the iTunes music
library. You may
need to close and
open Media Center to
update your display.
For more information
about adding songs
and creating playlists
in iTunes, see the Help
menu in iTunes.
