iTunes is a media player software application that allows you to play movies and music. The program stores all your content onto a specially created folder in your computer. This gives you the ability to easily obtain and move around your media content. You can even copy the music files from iTunes to other memory devices, including SD cards.

Step 1

Check your computer for a built-in SD card reader, which is roughly an inch wide and a quarter of an inch thick. It is marked "SD card." If you do not have this card reader, you can purchase an external one from most electronic and computer stores.
