How to Get iTunes on Microsoft XP
Apple's iTunes program allows you to purchase music, movies and television shows, and then download them to your computer for listening or viewing. If you have an Apple iPod, the iTunes program can also automatically sync new music or movies with your device. Despite the fact that Microsoft is the primary competitor of Apple, the iTunes program is available for the Windows operating system, including Windows XP and Vista. You can get iTunes on Microsoft Windows XP for free.
