Downloading Purchased music

When you go to the online iTunes store, there’s a new tab for Purchased music — songs you’ve bought through iTunes. Hit the tab and it takes you to a list of artists whose songs you’ve bought.

Songs from albums can be downloaded individually…

Or by album…

Or hit “All Albums” at the top of the lists of artists to quickly download everything.

Here is the Downloads tab showing the status of all the music being downloaded. About 50 songs were downloaded in just a few minutes on a WiFi connection.

You can preview a tune before downloading it (it was already downloaded in this case).
