How to Hook Up Frostwire to iTunes
FrostWire and iTunes are both free, music-management software packages. FrostWire is geared toward discovering new songs and albums via a peer-to-peer network. If you prefer using FrostWire for finding new music, you can still automatically add your downloaded songs to your iTunes library. Once the songs are added to iTunes, you can sync your music collection with an iPod, iPhone or iPad.
