Understanding the iTunes Library
Mac Pro includes iTunes to enable you to play back and manage various types of audio files.
iTunes also includes features for organizing and playing videos, watching movies and TV
shows, and organizing apps and iOS devices, but iTunes is mostly concerned with audio-re-
lated media and content.
Most of your iTunes time will be spent in the library, so you need to understand the various
categories — such as music and audiobooks — that iTunes uses to organize the library's au-
dio content. You also need to know how to configure the library to show only the categories
with which you will be working.
The iTunes Library
The iTunes library is where your Mac Pro stores the files that you can play and work
with in the iTunes application. Although iTunes has some video components, its fo-
cus is on audio features, so most of the library sections are audio related. These
sections enable you to work with music, podcasts, audiobooks, ringtones, and Inter-
net radio.
