iTunes was, and continues to be, much more than a simple media player--though, it is in fact quite a versatile media player.

iTunes connected to the Internet and, through Steve Jobs, pioneered licensing agreements with the top record labels in the U.S. at the time, and established that

it would charge a finite fee for every single song, and albums as a whole.

The music industry thus had a way to monetize the digitization of audio content; something many industries, a decade later, are still grappling with.

These audio files could be bought through iTunes, downloaded to your iTunes library and directly injected into Apples portable MP3 player, the almighty iPod.

Through iTunes you can import most any audio files from your computer or external hard drives, play music, buy music for yourself and others, create playlists, DJ parties, and beyond.

Remember, audio is only one format of content that it handles; iTunes also features TV Shows, Movies, Books, Streaming Radio, and more.
