Work At Home Business Pricing & Availability
iTunes for Mac and Windows includes the iTunes Music Store and is available as a free download immediately from www.itunes.com. Purchase and download of songs from the iTunes Music Store for Mac or Windows requires a valid billing option with a billing address in the country of purchase. The Firstgate Click & Buy program is not available to iTunes Music Store customers in Switzerland.

The iPod experience includes iTunes (or, generation models, Musicmatch Jukebox), which lets you organize your music in digital form, make copies, burn CDs, and play disc jockey without discs. Suddenly your music world includes online music stores and free music downloads. Without iTunes (or Musicmatch Jukebox), your iPod is merely an external hard drive. As a result of using iTunes (or Musicmatch Jukebox), your music library is more permanent than it ever was before because you can make backup copies that are absolutely the same in quality.
