HP Media Center PC Software Guide

Using HP Tunes with Media Center

iTunes is a software program from Apple located
in your All Programs menu that works together with
the HP Tunes area in Media Center. HP Tunes is
linked to your iTunes music library. Both programs
work together to organize and play back your
favorite music files, CDs, and created playlists.
Some tasks you must do in the iTunes program with
your keyboard and mouse, and some tasks you
can do from within Media Center with your remote
control. For example, you must add music files to
the iTunes music library before you can access
them in HP Tunes in Media Center. Also, you can
record your playlists to CDs in the iTunes program
but not in Media Center.

Completing the iTunes Setup Assistant wizard

To use HP Tunes and iTunes with Media Center, you
need to:
1
Initialize iTunes by completing the setup
wizard.
2
Add songs to the iTunes music library and
create playlists. HP Tunes displays only the
songs and playlists that are in iTunes.
