iTunes

Apple is the biggest music retailer in the US. iTunes is an application introduced by Apple inc.
Using iTunes you can do many things. You can either rent a film or buy it, buy music, listen to podcasts and more. If you rent a film using iTunes you have 30 days to watch it but once you begin to watch it you must complete this within 24 hours. If you buy the film using iTunes, it is then yours to keep, until you choose to delete it. Renting and buying films using iTunes is a lot cheaper than physically buying them from a shop. You can click on tabs on iTunes to take you to more options such as more comedy films, more cheap films, etc. Also on this site are recommendations of films you may like.

To be able to purchase off of iTunes, you have to be a member and have an account set up with your card number. Also, in most shops you can buy iTunes vouchers which you can use towards purchases. From the albums on iTunes, you can choose to buy one song rather than a whole album. Reviews from other buyers about the product are shown on the pages.
You can upload a compilation of songs you like and people can choose to buy them together. (Like a mixed tape) The creator does not get the profit, apple receive this.

On iTunes you can see which new podcasts are available, you can keep a record of the podcasts you have already watched and also delete podcasts from these records. Also using iTunes you can listen to radio recordings and also stream live radio to your computer for free.

Using the search bar you can look for certain things in particular. Also the search bar can give you suggestions of what you may be looking or when you begin to type in it.
