Moving music files into HP TouchSmart Music
First, put music files on your hard drive in your Music folder:
1 Click the Start button, and click Music.
2 Navigate to the library where you want your music stored—either the Music folder or the iTunes
folder within the Music folder—and open the library.
3 Put music into the Music folder, or the iTunes folder within the Music folder, in several ways:
Buy or download free music from the Internet.
Transfer music from CDs you own (drag and drop, or cut and paste).
Transfer music from an existing library on another computer (by transferring with an external USB
drive, connecting the USB drive to the computer, and then dragging and dropping the files into the
Music folder).
Next, choose from where HP TouchSmart Music will show music files:
4 From the HP TouchSmart homepage, tap Music.
5 Tap Settings, and then tap either Use HP TouchSmart Media library (which is the Music folder
on your hard drive) or Use my iTunes library.
iTunes does not come preinstalled. To use iTunes, you have to have access to the Internet, and
download and set up an account with iTunes.
You can see all files from the music folder you chose in HP TouchSmart Music.
Moving songs from iTunes into HP TouchSmart Music
HP TouchSmart can play music from only one music library at a time. HP TouchSmart Media Library is the
default library. To access songs from iTunes (not preinstalled, downloaded separately) and add them to
your music library:
1 Download iTunes to your hard drive from www.apple.com/downloads (Internet access
required).
2 Set up an iTunes account.
3 Open the TouchSmart Music window by tapping the Music tile.
4 Tap Settings, and select Use my iTunes library.
5 Tap Save.
Album art
Sometimes album art or other album information does not transfer during the music transfer process. In this
case, you can find the missing album information. You need the Internet for this procedure.
To find album art when it is missing:
1 From the Windows desktop, tap (or click) the Start button, tap Windows Media library or
iTunes.
The albums appear in the library.
2 Search for the album that does not have artwork.
3 Place your cursor over the blank CD icon (the album with no cover art) and right-click.
4 In the pull-down menu, click Find Album Info.
The application goes to the Internet to find the album.
