Want to learn how to buy music on iTunes? Apple makes this process fairly straightforward — and we’ll be covering the gist of it down below. We’ll even introduce you to a third-party program called iMusic that you can use in other to manage your newly purchased music (be it for syncing your Apple Music to your device, editing its available ID3 Tags, etc.) So, make sure to continue reading until the very end to learn what you can do with iTunes purchased music!
As mentioned, we’re going to first teach you how to buy songs on iTunes — specifically on a Windows PC (although there is a method of buying songs on iTunes on a Mac computer and your mobile device.) We’re not going to go in depth about the payment process, but we will be teaching you how to access the Apple Music store on your PC and buy either an individual song or an entire album! Before the tutorial, we also have a list of common issues that people run into — as well as the solutions to these issues.
- Payment Details: We don’t discuss this on our tutorial below, but the payment details are usually already attached to your account. If it isn’t, you might have to go through an entire authentication process for your VISA, the number connected to your VISA, etc.
- Account: A common issue people might have been over their account. If you don’t have payment details properly set up, then your payment will not go through.
- Failed Purchase: There are times when you buy something, and it disappears from your library. If that is the case, Apple has the option of getting your purchase back after reporting it (but this only applies for purchases in the past 90 days – anything before that will not be available for a ‘reporting’ on your Purchased history.)
- Misplaced Purchase: If you purchase something and cannot find it, look at the “recently added items.” This happens a lot with audiobooks – there’s a sorting issue with the recent iTunes updates that automatically transfer them onto the Podcast library, rather than the actual Audiobook library.
- Failed Download: Another common issue, is that people purchase something from the Music store — and then the download fails. If that happens to you, make sure to resume download by clicking the download progress in the download tab.
- If you’re signed in to your iTunes account (and if you have the payment details properly filled out), then you should be able to process the purchase quickly!
- Just wait for the purchase to finish downloading, and the music will be transferred to your iTunes library.
- Easy to Navigate interface for simplifying iTunes management.
- Download and Record Music/Video in MP3 or MP4.
- Manage your iTunes libraries ID3 Tags.
- Download music from over 3000 music sites, including download YouTube to MP3.
- Sync music between your iTunes library and your Android and iOS phone.
- Extra iTunes management for burning CDs, removing DRM, etc.
Step by Step Guide to Buy Sonsg on iTunes
Step 1 — Store
In order to purchase music from Apple, you will need to go to the Store tab (shown below.) Here, you can browse for songs and albums that you might want to buy for your device.
Step 2 — Buy & Buy
When you select an album, you should see something like this (shown in the image below.) You’ll get the choice of downloading either a full album [1] or downloading an individual audio file [2.]
For this second part, we’re going to be showing you how you can manage your purchased (and non-purchased) iTunes music with a program called iMusic. iMusic is an all-in-one downloader, converter, transfer tool, etc. The best part is that it allows you to manage purchased iTunes music (which is not something many programs will allow.) We’ll take you around the interface in the tutorial below — as well as teach you how you can use it to edit ID3 tags, but first! Let’s quickly go over its main features.
