iTunes' Music
Library is like a master list of your digital media. To view the Music Library,
select the Music entry in the left-hand column of the iTunes player. From here,
you can browse the music you have collected, find a song, add or remove songs,
and watch video.
iTunes can display your Music
Library in three ways. By default, the application uses the list view, where
each song is one entry. Click the second View button (at the top of the iTunes
window) to group tracks together by album artwork in grid view. Click the third
View button, and you’re browsing by album cover in cover flow view, complete
with reflective surface!
Perform these basic
tasks from your Music Library:
·
Browse the Library: After you add a few dozen songs to iTunes, viewing the Library
can become a task. To help out, iTunes can display your Library in browsing
mode: just click the View menu and click the Show Browser item, or press the
Command+B keyboard shortcut.
iTunes' Browse mode organizes your tunes into four sections:
·
Artist
·
Album
·
Song Name
·
Remove old music from the Library: After you spend some time playing songs with iTunes, you might
decide that you didn’t really want to add 40 different versions
of “Songs” to your Library. To remove a song from the Library, click the song
to select it and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
·
Watch video: Watching video in iTunes is similar to
listening to your music. To view your video collection, click one of these
entries in the Source list:
·
Movies
·
TV Shows
iTunes displays your videos as thumbnails or in cover flow view. Music
videos appear as a smart playlist.
From your collection,
you can
·
Double-click a video thumbnail or an entry in the list.
·
Drag a QuickTime-compatible video clip from the Finder window to
the iTunes window.
iTunes plays video in the box below the Source list or in full-screen
mode, depending on the settings you’ve chosen on the General pane in the iTunes Preferences window. In
full-screen mode, move your mouse to display a control strip at the bottom of
the screen, sporting the standard slider bar that you can drag to move through
the video (as well as a volume control and Fast Forward/Reverse buttons). You
can also pause the video by clicking the Pause button.
