iTunes can play the digital audio files that you download from the Internet on your MacBook or obtain from other sources in the WAV, AAC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, MP2, and MP3 file formats.
Enjoying a digital audio file is just slightly more complicated than playing a CD. After downloading or saving your audio files to your MacBook, open the Finder and navigate to the stored files. Then simply drag the music files from the Finder to the Music entry in the iTunes Source list.
The added files appear in the Music section of your iTunes Library. Think of the Library as a master list of your digital media. To view the Music Library, select the Music entry in the left column of the iTunes player. You can also drag a song file from a Finder window and drop it on the iTunes icon on the Dock, which adds the song to your Music Library.
To play a song, just double-click it in the Music list. Alternatively, you can use the playback controls.
The iTunes Source list can list up to eight possible sources for music:
Apple Trade In Turn the device you have into the one you want. Trade in your eligible device for credit toward your next purchase, or get an Apple Store Gift Card you can use anytime. 1 If your device isn’t eligible for credit, we’ll recycle it for free. No matter the model or condition, we can turn it into something good for you and good for the planet. Mar 22, 2020 Even the big video files just take minutes to transfer from my Mac to my iPhone. I also love the fact that WALTR 2 supports every kind of file that we generally transfer. Whether it’s music, videos, PDFs, ePub, or audiobooks, WALTR 2 automatically recognizes the files we are sending and pushes them to native Apple apps.
Notice also that the Library lists information for each song that you add to it, such as
If some of the songs that you’re adding don’t display anything for the title, album, or artist information, don’t panic; most MP3 files have embedded data that iTunes can read. If a song doesn’t include any data, you can always add the information to these fields manually.
How to browse the MacBook 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 another format, too: namely, browsing mode. To view the Library in browsing mode, click the View menu and click the Show Browser item, or press the cmd+B keyboard shortcut.
The browsing mode of iTunes displays your Library in a compact fashion, organizing your tunes into four sections:
Selecting an artist from the Artist list causes iTunes to display that artist’s albums in the Album list. Select an album from the Album list, and iTunes displays that album’s songs in the bottom section of the Browse window. You can also switch between sort fields for the Browse window from the View→Column Browser menu item.
How to find songs in your MacBook Music Library
After your collection of audio files grows large, you might have trouble locating that Swedish remix version of “I’m Your Boogie Man.” To help you out, iTunes has a built-in Search function. To find a song, type some text in the search field of the main iTunes window.
While you type, iTunes tries to find a selection that matches your search text. The search is quite thorough, showing any matching text from the artist, album, song title, and genre fields in the results.
For example, if you type electronic in the field, iTunes might return results for the band named Electronic or other tunes that you classified as electronic in the Genre field. Click the magnifying glass at the left side of the search field to restrict the search to Artists, Albums, Composers, and Songs.
How to remove old music from the MacBook 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 “Louie Louie” to your Library. To remove a song from the Library, click the song to select it and then press Delete.
You can also remove a song from the Library by dragging it to the Trash in your Dock.
Watch video on the MacBook
Watching video in iTunes is similar to listening to music. To view your video collection, click one of these entries in the Source list:
iTunes displays your videos as thumbnails, as a list, or in Cover Flow view. Music videos appear as a smart playlist.
From your collection, you can
iTunes plays video in the box below the Source list, in the iTunes window, in a separate window, or in full-screen mode, depending on the settings you choose from the View→Video Playback menu item.
In full-screen mode, move your cursor to display a control strip at the bottom of the screen. The control strip sports a slider bar that you can drag to move through the video, a volume control, and Play/Pause and Fast Forward/Reverse buttons.
Now there's an app for every media type
With macOS Catalina, your music, videos, podcasts, and audiobooks are organized in to their own dedicated apps — the Apple Music app, Apple TV app, Apple Podcasts app, and Apple Books app. You can also access your iTunes Store purchases in these apps.
If you have a PC, you can continue to use iTunes for Windows to manage your media library, make purchases, and manually sync and manage your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Use Finder to sync and manage your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Finder is the new place to back up, update, or restore your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Just connect your device to your Mac and it appears in the Finder sidebar. And you can easily drag and drop files to your device.
Use Finder to manage your devices.
Upgrade your iTunes library
After you update to macOS Catalina, just open the Apple Music app or Apple TV app to use your iTunes library in the new apps. Have multiple iTunes libraries? Learn how to switch between them in macOS Catalina.
If you open the Apple Podcasts app or Apple Books app first, you won't see any of your media until you open the Apple Music app or Apple TV app.
