I have seen many sites/blogs that have “Install Vista from USB guide” but either with incomplete steps or not working guide. I have also seen some guides that don’t’ use proper commands in this guide. After spending many hours I have come up with this 100% working guide. I just did this method on one of my friends machine and installed the new Windows 7 BETA. The main advantage is that by using USB drive you will be able to install Windows 7/Vista in just 15 minutes. You can also use this bootable USB drive on friend’s computer who doesn’t have a DVD optical drive. The method is very simple and you can use without any hassles. Needless to say that your motherboard should support USB Boot feature to make use of the bootable USB drive. Requirements: *USB Flash Drive (Minimum 4GB) *Windows 7 or Vista installation files. Follow the below steps to create bootable Windows 7/Vista USB drive using which you can install Windows 7/Vista easily. 1. Plug-in your USB flash drive to USB port and move all the contents from USB drive to a safe location on your system. 2. Open Command Prompt with admin rights. Use any of the below methods to open Command Prompt with admin rights. *Type cmd in Start menu search box and hit Ctrl+ Shift+ Enter. Or *Go to Start menu > All programs > Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator. 3. You need to know about the USB drive a little bit. Type in the following commands in the command prompt: <div style="text-align: left;">First type DISKPART and hit enter to see the below message.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCK_3LbtGkWhosOKkC3wCy3uIXNf-_mGIvTLANU_Etlpj5KBjlot6Sq76SY108Q9o0DViDK92gMf4Sk5G1KMY0VQV2Pka0_bV_ZXna9AGlCcruA09GU4EApJgMEUiLJxy8_fR7N3wvvqM/s1600/12.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 543px; height: 94px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCK_3LbtGkWhosOKkC3wCy3uIXNf-_mGIvTLANU_Etlpj5KBjlot6Sq76SY108Q9o0DViDK92gMf4Sk5G1KMY0VQV2Pka0_bV_ZXna9AGlCcruA09GU4EApJgMEUiLJxy8_fR7N3wvvqM/s320/12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558515360198882034" border="0" /></a> Next type LIST DISK command and note down the Disk number (ex: Disk 1) of your USB flash drive. In the below screenshot my Flash Drive Disk no is Disk 1. 4. Next type all the below commands one by one. Here I assume that your disk drive no is “Disk 1”.If you have Disk 2 as your USB flash drive then use Disk 2.Refer the above step to confirm it. So below are the commands you need to type and execute one by one: SELECT DISK 1 CLEAN CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY SELECT PARTITION 1 ACTIVE FORMAT FS=NTFS (Format process may take few seconds) ASSIGN EXIT Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4AZC1IoBFRlSBtT5uMnY2QwEA4xhk7biWs-ObQUIXERyh8J_xZ02DoQPCCYadTp-NR6xg-yM7xMGb4x3Go1iA587etG_IxaVKggXkujkkqCWPbqT2txByjA_40su5_pJBJlMGal00aCI/s1600/115.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 387px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4AZC1IoBFRlSBtT5uMnY2QwEA4xhk7biWs-ObQUIXERyh8J_xZ02DoQPCCYadTp-NR6xg-yM7xMGb4x3Go1iA587etG_IxaVKggXkujkkqCWPbqT2txByjA_40su5_pJBJlMGal00aCI/s400/115.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558516311771976418" border="0" /></a> 5. Next insert your Windows7/Vista DVD into the optical drive and check the drive letter of the DVD drive. In this guide I will assume that your DVD drive letter is “D” and USB drive letter is “H” (open my computer to know about it). 6. Maximize the minimized Command Prompt in the 4th step.Type the following command now: D: CD BOOT and hit enter.Where “D” is your DVD drive letter. CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message. 7. Type another command given below to update the USB drive with BOOTMGR compatible code. BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 H: <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-gnLQh1_Ivu1wnztJP7oPrdVHoSvKKOGI59e4oNm5xt3x9ykL3XM68UdDMlIleKrElov1d2QLk56AGeVJqPCLEcDykE7IhgK1MpDe5DSgmu0TJSKrek5wpTKhbewYGXMglZj3uNHhWaE/s1600/14.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 165px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-gnLQh1_Ivu1wnztJP7oPrdVHoSvKKOGI59e4oNm5xt3x9ykL3XM68UdDMlIleKrElov1d2QLk56AGeVJqPCLEcDykE7IhgK1MpDe5DSgmu0TJSKrek5wpTKhbewYGXMglZj3uNHhWaE/s400/14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558516875848442114" border="0" /></a> Where “H” is your USB drive letter. Once you enter the above command you will see the below message. 8. Copy your Windows 7/Vista DVD contents to the USB flash drive. 9. Your USB drive is ready to boot and install Windows 7/Vista. Only thing you need to change the boot priority at the BIOS to USB from the HDD or CD ROM drive. I won’t explain it as it’s just the matter the changing the boot priority or enabling the USB boot option in the BIOS. </div></description><link>http://hardwareandsoftwaretutorials.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Cristito Codo Cuizon)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCK_3LbtGkWhosOKkC3wCy3uIXNf-_mGIvTLANU_Etlpj5KBjlot6Sq76SY108Q9o0DViDK92gMf4Sk5G1KMY0VQV2Pka0_bV_ZXna9AGlCcruA09GU4EApJgMEUiLJxy8_fR7N3wvvqM/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021750155904681547.post-250685988987611441</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 May 2010 06:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-11-15T11:08:31.659+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Live Sports</category><title>Live Sports Daily Streeming</title><description><a href="http://www.firstrow.net/"> Live Sports </a> <iframe src="http://www.firstrow.net/stream.php?s=SITE NAME&u=http://URL" width="100%" height="800" scrolling="auto" align="top" frameborder="0"> This option will not work correctly.

This is much faster than real time capturing, creates a smaller file, and allows you to edit the file directly. Edius can also edit VOB files directly on the DVD. What follows is a basic run through of the process with some note about additional programs. The other programs will have their own walk-throughs at a later date. to begin, place your DVD in the DVD drive.

In this article, I will walk you through the process of adding a Bluetooth device in Windows 7 as well as give you some "gotchas" to watch out for so that the process runs smoothly. Recently, I bought a new ASUS laptop that included a rebate for a free Bluetooth mouse and Windows 7. I enjoyed using the laptop for a couple of months before Windows 7 was released and these items arrived. In that time, I had used a small laptop USB mouse that works pretty well. Honestly, I may never have bought the Bluetooth mouse if it was not free. Still, I was interested in it enough to spend some significant time making it work. Perhaps it was the challenge of something new, that the mouse looked sleek and cool, or that I just was stubborn enough to make sure I got my free mouse working. No matter as, in the end, I got it working and am thankful that I did as this Bluetooth mouse is cool in every way and I would never go back to the old USB mouse. <h2>Adding a Bluetooth Mouse to Windows 7, step by step</h2> Go to Control Panel of Windows 7,from there the water gets a little murky. instead, what you need to do is to click on View Devices and Printers under Hardware and Sound.Next, before you click Add a device (shown in Figure 2) you should first do a few things: <ol><li>Make sure that, if you have a laptop, wireless is enabled on the laptop. Bluetooth is wireless and, typically, when you disable all wireless that includes not but also Bluetooth. </li><li>Make sure that any proprietary software you have that controls power or wireless has Bluetooth enabled . </li><li>Turn on the power on the mouse and press the Connect button.</li></ol> Now, you can click Add a Device and you should see something like the graphic. Select the device you want to add and click Next. The device drivers will be loaded and you should see the window At this point, your mouse should be working. You can use it to click Close and you will be taken back to the Devices and Printers window where you can see your device. Ideally, adding Bluetooth devices should be that easy but there are some to look out for.To make sure that it goes as easily as I demonstrated above, look out for these potential pitfalls: <ol><li>Make sure that your laptop or PC actually has Bluetooth. You can not assume that it has it. </li><li>Make sure that your Bluetooth is ON. Your laptop might have a switch that enables or disables wireless. </li><li>Make sure that any proprietary software you have that controls power or wireless has Bluetooth enabled. On my Sony Vaio, I have a proprietary software application installed (from Sony) called Smart Wi Connection Utility that enables and disables various types of wireless connections, including Bluetooth. I ran into an issue where Bluetooth was disabled here and I had to track down this utility to enable it.</li><li>Make sure that your Bluetooth device is powered on and make sure that it has some kind of LED indicating that it has power. While it may be obvious, that also means that your device has batteries that have a charge (fresh batteries are preferred). </li><li>You may have to press the Connect button on the Bluetooth device to get it talking to the Bluetooth adaptor on the PC or laptop. </li><li>Make sure that the drive for your Bluetooth device is successfully installed.</li></ol> </description><link>http://hardwareandsoftwaretutorials.blogspot.com/2010/01/adding-bluetooth-devices-in-windows-7.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Cristito Codo Cuizon)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021750155904681547.post-5073241600936736334</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-28T10:02:27.112+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Power Supply</category><title>Computer Power Supply</title><description>Isolating PC power supply problems can be either very straightforward or extremely difficult, depending largely on the type of problem, the symptoms that you observe, and when the symptoms occur. Although a completely dead PC is almost always due to a faulty supply, other types of problems are not nearly as obvious. In fact, there are some power supply problems that can be easily mistaken for a problem with another component or with the configuration of the system. Since every device or component attached to your PC depends either directly or indirectly on the power from the system’s supply, developing a methodology for isolating power problems can be quite useful. MOST COMMON PROBLEM WITH POWER SUPPLY. 1.Power supply fails and needs to be replaced. 2.Power supply is switched to the wrong voltage. Should be 115V instead of 230V. 3.When testing or installing a new power supply, the supply is plugged directly into the motherboard without plugging another device such as a floppy drive. The power supply may short out if it is plugged only into the motherboard. System restarts intermittently. 1.Check that the switch on the power supply is switched to the 115V position and not 230V. 2.Could be bad power supply. No Power. 1.Check that power cord to computer (printer) has not become unplugged. 2.Plug another device into surge protector or outlet. Check that the surge or outlet providing power. 3.Try a different outlet. 4.Try the same power cord on another device. Cord may be bad. Hear whining noise from the computer. a.Most noise related problems originate from the power supply or fan. b.Could be ball bearings in the fan not turning properly. c.Could be a noisy hard drive. </description><link>http://hardwareandsoftwaretutorials.blogspot.com/2009/08/computer-power-supply.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Cristito Codo Cuizon)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021750155904681547.post-4265053998356631407</guid><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2009 01:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-28T09:46:05.607+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">video card</category><title>Video Adapter</title><description>Video Adapter Also known as a graphics card, video card, video board, or a video controller, a video adapter is an <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/i/internal.htm">internal</a> circuit board that allows a <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/d/display.htm">display</a> device such as a <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/m/monitor.htm">monitor</a> to display a picture from the computer. Today video cards are most commonly connected to the <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/a/agp.htm">AGP</a> slot or <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/pciexpre.htm">PCIe</a> slot on the <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/m/mothboar.htm">motherboard</a>, however, can also be found <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/o/onboard.htm">on-board</a> or in a <a href="http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/pci.htm">PCI</a> slot. Troubleshooting the video card with no display. Problem. Just after turning on the computer, you get power and you can hear the fans but then these problem symptons occur: <blockquote> <ul><li>The computer's internal speaker emits a "one long beep two short beeps" error code. </li><li>The monitor is blank and the monitor indicator is orange or blinking orange. </li><li>Nothing further appears to be happening. The computer just sits there. </li></ul> </blockquote> The beep error code may not occur and you could still get the other two symptons. The beep code described is the beep code commonly used for a computer to signal that it can't "see" the video card on boot. Another thing to consider if this type of problem occurs is whether or not the Power Supply in the computer is sufficient in terms of quality and wattage as I discussed on the My Super PC - Video Card page. If it should be sufficient then it could be that the video card is not installed properly or it could be that you have what I call the "video card boot problem".

Using the keyboard is as natural as typing. With the advent of the Linux, Macintosh and Windows other software' computers came the decline and eventual demise of keyboarding skills. Occasionally, computer rodents fail and when they do many users are at a loss. Knowledge of a few key keyboard keystrokes can get you out of a jam when your mouse dies or just freezes on you. The list below is not complete, but represents the more common key combinations available in most Windows applications. The so-called Windows keyboard is equipped with two special keys (there are actually three, but one is duplicated). The first one is the Windows key … the one with the flag on it. When clicked it brings up the Start Menu. The other key … the one with the list on it … is the Menu key. As the name implies, you use it to bring up a menu. Some of us dislike the Windows keyboard, preferring the "classic" version. Those extra keys at the bottom of the Windows keyboard make the spacebar smaller and relocate the Alt key to a position that does not favor fast access. If you are using a classic keyboard here is how you replicate those fancy-schmancy keys. In the list below, a plus sign (+) indicates that you hold the first key while pressing the second (and/or third key). For example, Ctrl + Esc means you hold the Ctrl key and press, then release the Esc key. A comma separates individual keystrokes that do not require more than one finger. Alt, F, X means that you press and release the Alt key, followed by the pressing and releasing of the F key and then the X key. The Alt key is the menu key that is used in combination with the corresponding underlined letter on the menu. For example, to activate the File menu, you would press and release the Alt key, followed by the F key. Across the top of the keyboard are special function keys ... F1 through F12. Multiple Document Interface (MDI) refers to a program’s ability to open more than one document at a time. <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td valign="top" width="160">

As you know, in order to create a standard multiple monitor configuration, you need to have at least two video outputs on your system (usually with one video cards with two video card outputs HDMI to VGA or two Video Card) and two monitors. However, now there's an alternative way to set up and use a multiple monitor configuration. And the best part is that there's no need to for additional hardware—it’s all software-based. 1. The VGA to DVI Conversion connects traditional analog video graphic cards (VGA) to DVI compliant digital monitors. The VGA to DVI Conversion, enables users to connect laptops to the new DVI (Digital Video Interface) video display format. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6O_3xxoUw2oahTFe-KR6BQqC-_mwwLqRqQpENRZzwYdcIhk19tnu2VIyFbG1WE41D4INaW9WGa24_pfqlxLO2yzIM0xM9wIlfDEr_PPzwjezmizNYJYmWLU8inKYnR3imY2OzRlWang/s1600-h/dvi2vga.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI6O_3xxoUw2oahTFe-KR6BQqC-_mwwLqRqQpENRZzwYdcIhk19tnu2VIyFbG1WE41D4INaW9WGa24_pfqlxLO2yzIM0xM9wIlfDEr_PPzwjezmizNYJYmWLU8inKYnR3imY2OzRlWang/s320/dvi2vga.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371871380052168290" border="0" /></a> 2.

If the fan doesn't work at full capacity anymore your PC will shutdown suddenly or restart with no reason. When buying a power supply, first consider the amount of power needed by your computer (measured in Watts, video card consume wattage, memory, CPU,motherboard) and get a power supply that has a greater output than you need. 2. MOTHERBOARD is to connect all the devices of the computer toghether and to host the CPU. Usually you can find on the motherboards: <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaFwFASUFq45LnxEpkneKDAYNTWLbigBqPELbda12Q1HUNr_QZWrGlv07J44jshvzl1Yp7Hg5jQUchoxQSsROG6JzDuGOH5brYcRFkG3HSaYeJX7A9qv2uOEus0xfCO-k4y_uqeRNEObs/s1600-h/motherboard.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 183px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaFwFASUFq45LnxEpkneKDAYNTWLbigBqPELbda12Q1HUNr_QZWrGlv07J44jshvzl1Yp7Hg5jQUchoxQSsROG6JzDuGOH5brYcRFkG3HSaYeJX7A9qv2uOEus0xfCO-k4y_uqeRNEObs/s400/motherboard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370777144779709186" border="0" /></a> (a.) The Processor Socket Sockets are the home for your Central Processor Unit (CPU). Several types of socket exist, but only 2 of them are really used, and both of them are used by Intel and AMD. The Pin Grid Array (PGA) and the Land Grid Array (LGA). Motherboard socket With the type PGA, the CPU will have pins to fit in the socket holes, but with the type LGA, the CPU will not have such pins and will just sit on the socket. To know the form of CPU your motherboard can use and the range of powers and FSBs, look in your motherboard's book. The book that comes with your motherboard has a chart about it in the socket or CPU chapter. That information will give you an idea to how far you can upgrade your CPU. (b.) Memory Slots Memory slots also call memory banks are for Random Access Memory modules (RAM). Each memory bank can receives a RAM module designed for a specific pc mother board. Ranging from 2 to 4 banks, you will encounter single and dual-channel technologies. With single-channel, you can use 1, 2 or 3 Ram modules, and it should work perfectly. On the other hand, with dual-channel technology, if you fill only 1 bank, you will lose some strength from your module. To get the most of it, you need to fill 2 banks with the same module types, from the same manufacturer with exactly the same memory amounts. Different types of Memory 1. SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) SDRAM operates 3.3 volt, 168-pin SDRAM DIMMs. 2. DDR (Double Data Rate SDRAM) DDR operates 2.5 voltslt, 184 pins in its DIMMs. 3. DDR2 DDR2 operates 1.8 volts, 240 pins in its DIMMs. (c.) Floppy Drive While still a component of many existing computers, floppy drives are moving slowly into obsolescence as the popularity of flash drives and other portable media drives increase. In fact, the floppy disk drive is no longer standard equipment on many new computer systems today. (d.) IDE, ATA And S-ATA Interface Connectors The Advance Technology Attachment (ATA) interface is used to connect hard drives and optic drives. You can attach 2 drives on the same ribbon, 1 master and the other slave, and it supports almost all modern hard drives storage capacities. Modern computer mother boards have the new interface called Serial Advance Technology Attachment (S-ATA). It is faster than the ATA and only 1 device can be attached to it. The wire is thinner than his predecessor and surely help at the cooling process inside the computer case. (f.) Northbridge This chip that interconnects the CPU with the system's memory and fast slots (like AGP). Northbridge, also known as a memory controller hub (MCH) or an integrated memory controller (IMC) in Intel systems (AMD, VIA, SiS and others usually use 'northbridge'), is one of the two chips in the core logic chipset on a PC motherboard, the other being the southbridge. (g.) PCI Express x1 PCIe 1.x is often quoted to support a data rate of 250 MB/s in each direction, per lane. This figure is a calculation from the physical signaling rate (2.5 Gbaud) divided by the encoding overhead (10 bits per byte.)PCIe card will physically fit (and work correctly) in any slot that is at least as large as it is. (h.) PCI Expres x16 PCIe x16 means a sixteen lane (×16) PCIe card would then be theoretically capable of 16×250 MB/s = 4 GB/s in each direction. (j.) PCI Slot The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) interfaces are used to connect any extensions like sound cards, network interfaces,modem, etc. (k.) Southbridge This chip that interconnects the North Bridge to the other components, like PCI slots, Realtime clock, APM(Power Management), USB, Other Devices. But the NForce technology encapsulated both North and South Bridge in the same chip. 3.

Apple describes iTunes as a “digital jukebox” that, at the most basic level, allows you to listen to music. Songs that have been downloaded onto your computer, traditional audio CDs, and files from external sources can be opened in iTunes using familiar stereo controls. Files can then be saved on your hard drive or burned to CDs. iTunes 6.0 also allows you to listen to podcasts (free audio programs) and watch videos. iTunes is a member of the iLife ’05 software suite and can be used to gather music and other audi o tracks for convenient access in iPhoto, iMovieHD, and iDVD. Objectives: By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to: …listen to CDs and other audio files in iTunes. …create personalized playlists of your favorite songs. …copy audio CDs to your computer’s hard drive. …burn custom CDs to play in your car or home stereo. …subscribe to and listen to free podcasted programs. …watch video files through iTunes. …use iTunes tracks in the other iLife suite programs. I. Locating &amp; Opening iTunes iTunes comes preinstalled on most Macs, including the ones in the iSchool lab. iTunes 5.0, the version used for the screenshots in this tutorial, is the version of the program currently available on the Apple web site. Both Mac and PC compatible versions of the program are available for free at<a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/"> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/</a>. Also, if your computer has an older version of iTunes, this link will allow you to upgrade to the newest version. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidq_2n2hiN5jwbj34td0CLotjW9jcBpNEcGIL-gibqPaThDnIICRNhuRbbdpv2qzsASV6FORGNwfWXyxYbQjlK8HPCcfqQJ1uW3_1rOQPBHcyNxQ7DddGVxggeUXbHGYLAUDujocUzZJw/s1600-h/Untitled-1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 45px; height: 42px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidq_2n2hiN5jwbj34td0CLotjW9jcBpNEcGIL-gibqPaThDnIICRNhuRbbdpv2qzsASV6FORGNwfWXyxYbQjlK8HPCcfqQJ1uW3_1rOQPBHcyNxQ7DddGVxggeUXbHGYLAUDujocUzZJw/s320/Untitled-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368539956497372450" border="0" /></a>On a Mac, iTunes will launch itself when you insert an audio CD. However, if it doesn’t open, there is an icon located in the dock. On a PC, a dialog box may ask you what program to launch when you insert a CD. However, if it doesn’t, you may need to select the iTunes icon from the desktop or Start menu. II. Interface Before we begin loading songs, let’s take a quick tour of the main iTunes window. For this example, I’ve loaded the album Purple by Stone Temple Pilots so we can see how CDs and tracks will appear in the program. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4fpEPrEeECT-Z_LoukaBkqa9UpmkV82t6T_oM5BsYbDiFh7w0M5jTHHbTfGhJI7kZj-TkLFtPpM7MCjsExAgJI90mImGvRHwqkvTTcLq41UsIly8ljUT5GjENs1McC3tVSX1Yed9meQ/s1600-h/Untitled-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 495px; height: 191px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4fpEPrEeECT-Z_LoukaBkqa9UpmkV82t6T_oM5BsYbDiFh7w0M5jTHHbTfGhJI7kZj-TkLFtPpM7MCjsExAgJI90mImGvRHwqkvTTcLq41UsIly8ljUT5GjENs1McC3tVSX1Yed9meQ/s320/Untitled-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368541123198822162" border="0" /></a>Source Column: The first place we need to look is the far left column, labeled “Source.” This is where we will locate our audio files. The top six icons in the column (Library through Music Store) will always appear in the Source column, although some of the lower icons may not. Library is a compilation of the audio files on your hard drive. Adding songs to your library will be discussed later. Podcasts are the Internet version of talk radio shows. To access these, subscribe to shows through the Music Store (see below). Subscriptions to podcasts are always free!

Party Shuffle is a preinstalled playlist that we will discuss in detail in the Special Playlists section. Radio: If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can listen to a variety of preprogrammed radio stations. Music Store takes you to Apple’s iTunes Music Store where you can purchase individual songs or entire albums for download. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFD3HDHAmRqR0GGSaat2ZjJ_FqQ-ysm5AYJ-9AI0OrmTc6A99tuMuPzndV_49esClq2u2IBbpMwNEW6hysHzzQqp8YXfE2lPDNORD8zbpdBHSF9HfQd906YjO8OM5o3-Bqnw5XlIhrZE/s1600-h/Untitled-4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 22px; height: 20px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFD3HDHAmRqR0GGSaat2ZjJ_FqQ-ysm5AYJ-9AI0OrmTc6A99tuMuPzndV_49esClq2u2IBbpMwNEW6hysHzzQqp8YXfE2lPDNORD8zbpdBHSF9HfQd906YjO8OM5o3-Bqnw5XlIhrZE/s320/Untitled-4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368543994312779026" border="0" /></a>The next option is the CD I inserted.

Notice that iTunes automatically displays the track number, song title, track time, artist, album title, and genre. If this information has not been located in the CDDB (see hint below) or entered manually, these columns may be blank or labeled with a generic “Artist” or “Track 01” entry. Homemade compilation CDs are usually displayed this way.

The checkboxes will also be useful later when we copy tracks to the hard drive and burn CDs. <div style="text-align: justify;">Extra Hint – CDDB The CDDB (Gracenote CD Database) is an online database containing information about audio CDs, most notably including track titles. Many audio programs, including iTunes, will connect to the database automatically (if an Internet connection is present) and try to match your CD to those entered in the database. If a match is made, iTunes will input information about the audio tracks for you.

The program will continue to run in the dock without displaying the window. The mini player is more convenient if you want more control over which tracks are playing. III. Opening Files Audio CD: On a Mac, press the eject key on the keyboard and place your CD in the disk tray. Pressing the key again will bring the tray back in. The computer will automatically display an icon for your CD on the desktop. It will most likely be labeled “Audio CD.” If your computer is connected to the Internet, iTunes may automatically search for the artist and title of the CD through the Gracenote CDDB® (CD database). <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQn_67xOV2n3c1vFXC9o4VZYqmudGKYXcBy68SbwAfmSqPMYA9kRIRq_LACpTLmZnQkmvDgET-gUAEiWKAR8Z2KxA2hi0ybafomrYDqVn7iibQ3eeh4Z2iXHC16k525kluV7eJ4ocK12s/s1600-h/Untitled-9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 65px; height: 79px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQn_67xOV2n3c1vFXC9o4VZYqmudGKYXcBy68SbwAfmSqPMYA9kRIRq_LACpTLmZnQkmvDgET-gUAEiWKAR8Z2KxA2hi0ybafomrYDqVn7iibQ3eeh4Z2iXHC16k525kluV7eJ4ocK12s/s320/Untitled-9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368909437590037442" border="0" /></a>For example, I put Purple by Stone Temple Pilots into the drive and CDDB correctly identified the CD. Once iTunes launches, click on your CD’s icon in the Source column. This will list the CD’s tracks. Double-click on a track to begin playing it, or highlight the track and click on the Play button. Homemade / Compilation CD: Homemade CDs operate almost exactly like store-bought audio CDs. The major difference is that their tracks will not be labeled. The computer may try to search the CDDB for information, but compilation CDs will not be recognized. To enter information about your CD as a whole, right click on the CD’s icon and click “Get Info.” The information entered here will be applied to each of the tracks. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_1LkMqKUiuIidKYUFq3Pj1nrkpBxnLVkLQFbH7saB8DztF4Wxjb-iyl_G5C6bNjESPIi9_HLgI1qooUWviYQ_oIErC3HaOtRaGN_-SYq660qynw2gH-1BvAE5Oxc0IODjRlbqZpRDbI/s1600-h/Untitled-10.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_1LkMqKUiuIidKYUFq3Pj1nrkpBxnLVkLQFbH7saB8DztF4Wxjb-iyl_G5C6bNjESPIi9_HLgI1qooUWviYQ_oIErC3HaOtRaGN_-SYq660qynw2gH-1BvAE5Oxc0IODjRlbqZpRDbI/s320/Untitled-10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368910311750560514" border="0" /></a> To enter information about a particular track, right click on the track and click “Get Info.” Here, you can enter information that will only be applied to the selected track.

Leaving the files in this format allows hundreds more songs to fit onto one CD. However, finding programs and stereos that can play them is trickier. When you put an .mp3 CD into your computer, iTunes may not launch automatically. On a Mac, an icon for the CD will appear on the desktop. Drag the CD to the icon for iTunes in the dock and release when the icon is highlighted. Or, you can click on the iTunes icon to open the program. A CD icon should appear in the Source column of the iTunes window. Highlight the icon and you can listen to tracks, copy them to you library, and manipulate them just like tracks on a traditional audio CD. IV.

The library can be a convenient place to store all of your music files and keep them organized. To add files to your library, go to the File menu and select Add to Library. Here, you can select which files you’d like to add to the library. Also, you can drag music files from a folder to the Library icon in the iTunes window. You’ll notice a small green plus sign beside the file’s icon when you have it in the right place. Another way to add files to the library is to drag their icons to the iTunes icon in the dock. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilC8Cq62HWIbQ-tIkFu1YOrS-Sk6HpwLTGQ-RCeYvrHrQUTQ9ZlFSb6leepZTva01b7DnZEBF17htWjD392-YVeJneV5pb7e-IG069BXoXsTSQi-3Mi-jp-K4ALsAcIYoxkZuW17R8SaE/s1600-h/Untitled-13.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 129px; height: 57px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilC8Cq62HWIbQ-tIkFu1YOrS-Sk6HpwLTGQ-RCeYvrHrQUTQ9ZlFSb6leepZTva01b7DnZEBF17htWjD392-YVeJneV5pb7e-IG069BXoXsTSQi-3Mi-jp-K4ALsAcIYoxkZuW17R8SaE/s320/Untitled-13.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368911928317377154" border="0" /></a>iTunes makes it easy to find the songs you’re looking for, even when you’ve built up a large library. In the top right corner of the iTunes window is a Search box. Here, you can type an artist, title, genre, or any other comments that you’ve used to describe your music files. iTunes will list any library items matching your search. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfNfriZlnqC8xhM1vAdeSjJgVwU9pp9t14O0mVBwtJq5MQeuy9JjIS0fPGtwkOq6e9fxwYFWnjDtJnxCu4XnixXSJr8OGzmA1DBH50jEUe5eaOcRE9nNgSe5otD14NDZmoX0B9j7XGwTc/s1600-h/Untitled-14.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 82px; height: 98px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfNfriZlnqC8xhM1vAdeSjJgVwU9pp9t14O0mVBwtJq5MQeuy9JjIS0fPGtwkOq6e9fxwYFWnjDtJnxCu4XnixXSJr8OGzmA1DBH50jEUe5eaOcRE9nNgSe5otD14NDZmoX0B9j7XGwTc/s320/Untitled-14.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368912261099222178" border="0" /></a> To the right of the search box is a round button. When you’re in your library, this button will have an eye on it; this is the Browse button. It allows you to browse through the artists, genres, and albums in your collection. Extra Hint – Eliminating Duplicate Tracks So you’ve added your CD collection to your library and discover that you have several songs that appear more than once. Don’t feel like scrolling through dozens of tracks to hunt down duplicates? When you’re in your Library, just go to the Edit menu and select “Show Duplicate Songs.” iTunes will display the duplicate tracks for you so you can easily delete them. Creating Playlists: To create a new playlist, click on the Add Playlist (plus sign) button in the bottom left corner of the iTunes window. After naming your playlist, you can open your library or other playlists and add tracks to it. Simply drag the desired track to the Source column and drop it into the new playlist. Party Shuffle: Party Shuffle is a playlist that shuffles the contents of your entire library or another playlist. Songs can be quickly added, reordered, and deleted. At the bottom of the Party Shuffle window is an area that allows you to change the source of the songs. You can choose your library or any playlist. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKkcotZNeRwEb9p7amDHJmfTDfNtBKopldiii59U98wUc3_FzxRHZy5Vw6gg57BAT3NR5oODFm416Y_Fj06cx9b1l6eyYvAuxkkZk8q8pqsvlYE7wYC9QEDwLPq2eSnSiVSvi_DC5V8dQ/s1600-h/Untitled-16.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 34px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKkcotZNeRwEb9p7amDHJmfTDfNtBKopldiii59U98wUc3_FzxRHZy5Vw6gg57BAT3NR5oODFm416Y_Fj06cx9b1l6eyYvAuxkkZk8q8pqsvlYE7wYC9QEDwLPq2eSnSiVSvi_DC5V8dQ/s320/Untitled-16.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368913232026226690" border="0" /></a>Notice that you can also designate how many upcoming and previously played songs will be displayed. If you don’t want an upcoming song in the playlist, just highlight it and press delete. The song will be removed from the party shuffle but not from your library. Smart Playlists: iTunes comes with several pre-created playlists, including My Top Rated, Recently Added, and Recently Played. These are smart playlists that dynamically update themselves as you listen to songs and change your library. To create your own smart playlist, go to the File menu and select New Smart Playlist. Also, if you hold down the option key (or shift key on a PC), the picture on the Create Playlist button in the bottom left corner of the window will change from a plus sign to a gear. Click on the gear button to create a smart playlist. Here, you can specify criteria for the songs you want in your playlist. For example, here, I want my playlist to include only my rock songs that I’ve rated with four stars. Now, whenever I add a new Rock genre track and rate it with four stars, it will automatically appear in this playlist. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdVC4Mpva4hbjuyGNcXGoN1KPQ1yGTeB9R-BORVGOMD7F1t0hWl8-guxTTCqY8BVnJDHH0oJ7KXsqPTH-PqTwdz3koqJ7X6O43yC4sqcdcJJtE42kqX35_QdfPWaVSDznFioC8xO16j8/s1600-h/Untitled-17.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 147px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifdVC4Mpva4hbjuyGNcXGoN1KPQ1yGTeB9R-BORVGOMD7F1t0hWl8-guxTTCqY8BVnJDHH0oJ7KXsqPTH-PqTwdz3koqJ7X6O43yC4sqcdcJJtE42kqX35_QdfPWaVSDznFioC8xO16j8/s320/Untitled-17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368913612682370610" border="0" /></a> V. Importing Tracks iTunes can also be used to save tracks from audio CDs to your computer’s hard drive. By doing this, you can store and listen to songs from all of your favorite CDs in one location. When you open a CD in iTunes, the button in the top right corner of the window will become the Import button. In the track listing, make sure that all of the tracks you want to import have a checkmark beside them . You don’t have to import an entire CD; you can pick and choose tracks by checking and unchecking tracks.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk12-BtaKEJNOLikuRFxtKluY7yZQWGHo8N5rRIbnVIfBZvk80Y2PDHkGY4QLOJ1OreX8Jw0etYleKstklZzdrxd62VREqQ6fs7PLziMolpVnCPuhgP0QnNOmmV6sSU9zE_LN3rwAlR74/s1600-h/Untitled-18.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 49px; height: 65px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk12-BtaKEJNOLikuRFxtKluY7yZQWGHo8N5rRIbnVIfBZvk80Y2PDHkGY4QLOJ1OreX8Jw0etYleKstklZzdrxd62VREqQ6fs7PLziMolpVnCPuhgP0QnNOmmV6sSU9zE_LN3rwAlR74/s320/Untitled-18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368914241956672050" border="0" /></a> Click the Import button, and iTunes will show you its progress as it saves the tracks to your hard drive. The saved tracks will appear in your Library. VI. Burning CDs You can also use iTunes to burn CDs that can be played in your home or car stereo. First, create a playlist of the tracks you want on the CD. Remember, recordable CDs will only hold 80 minutes of playtime (some older CD-Rs will only hold 74 minutes, so check your CD to verify its recording time). Look at the information bar at the bottom of the iTunes window to find the length of your playlist. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwGg01OsPefNEdcTeDhbrOFJEUujWFDX3XmRTs05mBm9BltyjlXo1-zxLIOCBcy8YJrco-CBL5qlp5X8dBa73xOh4uDvWtAZhVi507y8wjSt6luGgCj04AUMnLcHuL4mvfnbOPhSeoCA4/s1600-h/Untitled-19.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 62px; height: 63px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwGg01OsPefNEdcTeDhbrOFJEUujWFDX3XmRTs05mBm9BltyjlXo1-zxLIOCBcy8YJrco-CBL5qlp5X8dBa73xOh4uDvWtAZhVi507y8wjSt6luGgCj04AUMnLcHuL4mvfnbOPhSeoCA4/s320/Untitled-19.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368914635434533970" border="0" /></a>Once you’ve compiled a playlist that you’d like to burn, insert a blank CD-R.

The progress display (the green-grey ellipse at the top-center of the window) will remind you of how many tracks will be burned and the length of the playlist. It will also remind you to insert a blank CD if you haven’t done so yet. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDxEfxfxO2975sXcbjVNSs0J3Z1U5FlLy3UI-iYMqblfpzxfZQo1gasSMyDAzDwcYjzbQEufUgYXvwI6Mn-OdgRzJyFWT6McgSlHScZGfLMawoByk2bSZ_sRVRGZQZuO3KFCGR6ruIt8/s1600-h/Untitled-21.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 34px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJDxEfxfxO2975sXcbjVNSs0J3Z1U5FlLy3UI-iYMqblfpzxfZQo1gasSMyDAzDwcYjzbQEufUgYXvwI6Mn-OdgRzJyFWT6McgSlHScZGfLMawoByk2bSZ_sRVRGZQZuO3KFCGR6ruIt8/s320/Untitled-21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368915151379210258" border="0" /></a> To proceed with burning the CD, click on the Burn Disc button again.

Podcasts Podcasts are audio programs and radio shows that you can download on a regular basis through iTunes. With iTunes 6.0’s new video capabilities, you can also find a growing number of video podcasts. These programs are free, but you do have to subscribe to them. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEsJ7b_4DMo13LD8Zg4eR-5LPhoY_9DLiV40kRW00kivIin9W9yXTWA6F3JWuq_klN1MPzs1kJF4kYXF2LR-xYm7uEpqSx3-CPeIRPK2JQY4wnJxgnjR_VySkajc4HvgItxWVDsNh0RDs/s1600-h/Untitled-22.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 24px; height: 20px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEsJ7b_4DMo13LD8Zg4eR-5LPhoY_9DLiV40kRW00kivIin9W9yXTWA6F3JWuq_klN1MPzs1kJF4kYXF2LR-xYm7uEpqSx3-CPeIRPK2JQY4wnJxgnjR_VySkajc4HvgItxWVDsNh0RDs/s320/Untitled-22.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368916539917550386" border="0" /></a>To browse Apple’s selection of podcasts, highlight the Podcasts icon in the source column. The first time you click on this, a dialog box will appear giving you a little information about podcasts; click on the “Go to Podcast Directory” button. Don’t worry if you don’t see this window or accidentally close it; you can also click on the arrow next to “Podcast Directory” just above the information bar to visit the directory. Apple’s Podcast Directory has descriptions of some of the available podcasts and a listing of the most popular programs. Click on a program or, in the top left column of the site, click on Browse. If you select a program, its description and a listing of its episodes will appear. Clicking on a category or searching will take you to an interface that allows you to browse programs. (Note: This is actually the iTunes Music Store interface. Stay in the Podcasts genre to ensure that everything listed is free.) <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMXw-FdhDJ0XmcZBttPtUmqzAvqht5vjgCQ_UXI9Zgp19XZHa62YYtchMFLwjGXCQXAO3UJvc6HinBpw7VQqRmHw35_KIvybvzX_ioN9czGqHN_SEYP3y2NKDCSFQCSON3-LFRDfzLa74/s1600-h/Untitled-23.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 106px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMXw-FdhDJ0XmcZBttPtUmqzAvqht5vjgCQ_UXI9Zgp19XZHa62YYtchMFLwjGXCQXAO3UJvc6HinBpw7VQqRmHw35_KIvybvzX_ioN9czGqHN_SEYP3y2NKDCSFQCSON3-LFRDfzLa74/s320/Untitled-23.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368916802183836290" border="0" /></a> For example, I want to know what happened on last night’s episode of House. So, I’ll browse to the “Movies &amp; Television” category and scroll down until I find FOXCAST: House. If I click on the arrow in the Album column, I’ll arrive at the site describing the program and a listing of its most recent episodes. You can download a single episode of a podcast by clicking on the GET EPISODE button or subscribe to receive all future episodes. Some programs will only allow you to subscribe. To subscribe to a program, click on the SUBSCRIBE button (found on the far right or in the program description area). You will now be taken to your Podcasts window. A small orange circle will rotate beside the name of the program you just selected while iTunes downloads the most recent episode. A small blue circle will appear when it is finished. Click on the grey arrow to the left of the program title to view available episodes. A quick note about Movie &amp; Television podcasts: These programs may not be the actual audio of your television program or film. For example, the FOXCAST programs are descriptions of what happened in the episode by a narrator. Also, some programs are commentaries by actors and/or directors. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNodUs7IHY3vF3aaU6JYhmqduDl3rhHcmJ3kikBPXpsbSHgxViBbuT16ED2XsV8RoJUu32sCyd-_4EQV6l8bzfF0ikGF5RojlLALEglxvI-j8GVE3pHdwfnDaWz1heGKrwS5j2DO7AxnY/s1600-h/Untitled-24.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 58px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNodUs7IHY3vF3aaU6JYhmqduDl3rhHcmJ3kikBPXpsbSHgxViBbuT16ED2XsV8RoJUu32sCyd-_4EQV6l8bzfF0ikGF5RojlLALEglxvI-j8GVE3pHdwfnDaWz1heGKrwS5j2DO7AxnY/s320/Untitled-24.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368917254387189794" border="0" /></a> To play your downloaded programs, use the iTunes controls as if you were playing a regular audio track.
