Download a copy of iTunes onto your computer. You can use the disk that came with your media player, or simply go to apple.com/itunes to download the latest version. Follow the download instructions.
Launch your downloaded iTunes program and complete the iPod registration, checking the options you want to have (such as automatic updates of your songs when your iPod is connected to iTunes). It's a good idea to name your iPod when prompted, rather than leaving the default model number, so you can easily find it in your iTunes interface.
Familiarize yourself with the iTunes interface when you have completed set up. You'll see a bright section in the middle complete with album covers, images and graphics; this is the iTunes store. To the left is a simple list where you should see your iPod by the name you gave it during setup.
