iTunes is not just for music! You can rent movies and TV shows, listen to podcasts, and download audiobooks. Some of the resources are free, but most cost some coin. However, since you already have an Apple account (done when you first set up your computer), payment is automatic.
Not only are there all of these wonderful resources, but you can manage them with individualized playlists.
iTunes has several components:
- Library—these are the items that have been downloaded
- For You—suggestions based on your listening and viewing habits
- Browse—items that are new and trending
- Radio—an option to set up your own listening channel (not free)
- Store—a shopping mall at your fingertips
