How to link to iTunes: iTunes Link Maker

I was just about to write a post about an album I’ve been listening to, and an audiobook I just finished “reading”.

I wanted to know how I could link directly to those items in iTunes.  Here’s how..

iTunes Link Maker

An official tool by Apple, it lets you find items in iTunes and link to them.

First you must enter the item you are searching for (I usually leave it as all media):

Once you hit search, you see a results screen where all matching items are listed.  Click the arrow to the right of what you want to link to (keep in mind, clicking on the arrow next to an artist, will link to that artists page):

Finally you get the HTML to copy from the page, and insert into your document!

UPDATE

Recently I’ve discovered there’s a way to setup these links as an affiliate, to make 5% commission off sales made through your blog links.  Check out my article, iTunes Link Affiliate: How to Make Money Linking to iTunes Music
