Computers are becoming more popular as entertainment devices, like your stereo or DVD player. It is not unusual for people to buy a CD and transfer it on to their computer and then never use it again. A lot of people don't even buy a CD and just buy the mp3 file from the Internet. Once on the computer, the music can be copied onto your mp3 player. The advantage of having your music on your computer is that you can organise however you want. For example, let say you are having a party, instead of spending the whole night swapping CD and skipping tracks to find the right music, just create a play list (in a few minutes you can have a play list that last hours) of your favorite tunes and enjoy the party.
iTunes is a music management system for your computer. Programs like iTunes and Windows Media Player are used to organise music and create play-lists. iTunes is made by Apple, the same company that makes the iPod. iTunes is also the program used to transfer audio files from your computer to your iPod. You can even use iTunes to buy music at the iTunes store.
