How to Get FrostWire on iTunes

Listen to tracks downloaded in FrostWire by adding them to the iTunes library.

If you use the FrostWire multimedia download service to download music to your computer, you might want to access your FrostWire tracks from the Apple iTunes media library. You can automatically add content downloaded from FrostWire to iTunes by setting the default download folder in FrostWire to the iTunes music library folder. Apple iTunes automatically scans this folder for new content and adds any new tracks to its music library so that you can listen to them on your computer or transfer them to an Apple mobile device.

Instructions

1. Launch Apple iTunes.

2. Click "Edit" in the main program navigation menu, then select "Preferences" from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the "Advanced" tab. Find the input field under "iTunes Media Folder Location." Highlight the location path in this field, then click "Ctrl" and "C" on your computer keyboard to copy this location.

4. Launch FrostWire on your computer.

5. Click "Tools" on the main program menu, then click "Options" from the drop-down menu.

6. Select "Saving" from the left menu in the Options dialog box.

7. Paste the iTunes music-folder location path you copied in step 3 into the input field by pressing "Ctrl" and "V" on your computer keyboard. Click "Apply" followed by "OK" to save your changes.
