iTunes and My Mom

March 17, 2006 by debbie T | Firefox Browser • Internet • Mac Software

Well now that my Mom is on a high speed cable connection, I thought it was time to introduce her to iTunes.

Yesterday, I installed the iTunes application, and configured the preferences.

Then I proceeded to explain to her a little bit about podcasts, and how iTunes can be used to organize all her CDs.

I added a subscription to the Pray As You Go podcast; I showed her where the “update” button was, and when she clicked, it would download any new audio files for that podcast.

Next, I explained that iTunes could organize all her CDs, and I showed her how to import a CD. I showed her how to drag ‘n drop her favorite songs into a playlist.

I installed the FoxyTunes extension for Firefox, and found a skin with larger buttons. So now when she is browsing on her new speedy Internet connection, she can launch and control iTunes right in Firefox.

In the past, she had commented so many times that she always forgets to play her CDs while she is working on the computer. Now with all her CDs organized in iTunes, I think she will be able to play her favorite songs without too much trouble.

Today she called me and said “Guess what I am doing” Yep, she was importing a double CD from Barbara Streisand into iTunes and listening to her music! Mom, if you are reading this, I love you, and keep listening!

There is one comment so far

  1. I just got my 2000t and all of my songs are skipping in iTunes, and I cant figure out why. If someone could help me out and tell me how to fix this I would really appreciate it because its driving me crazy. Thanks for the replys.
