The iTunes Store also sells various applications for your cell phone, iPod, and computer.

Now, there are several ways to do this, the easiest way is to type in either the name of the song, or the artist, or both in the search field. The search field is located in the top right hand corner of the screen. It can be identified by a magnifying glass, and says ‘Search Store,’ once you click the area the text should disappear, and you can begin typing what you are looking for. Then press the ‘enter’ button on your keyboard.

Step Four: Once you have located what you would like you have the option of previewing a small portion of the song to make sure it is the one you want. You may do this by clicking the number of the track to the immediate left hand side of the song. Once, your arrow is over it, the number should turn into a small play circle. After you click it, a sample portion of the song will start to play.

Step Five: After you are sure this is the song you would like to purchase, you can buy it. In order to buy it, you have to the grey oval button to the right of it. Inside this grey oval button should be a price, with a dark grey triangle next to it. You may click either to begin the purchasing process.
