what do you mean by "download"? the three most common ways of getting songs into iTunes is (a) copy them from a CD you already own, (b) import audio files (like mp3) that you've gotten from somewhere (like Internet music sharing sites), and (c) buy songs from the iTunes store.
(a) CDs: configure iTunes (preferences, advanced, importing) and set "On CD Insert" to "Import CD and Eject", and leave the encoder settings on default. This way, you just start iTunes, and then insert all your CDs, one by one, and they will be magically added to your iTunes library.
(b) audio files (like mp3): select "Add to Library ..." under "Files", and select which folders and/or files you want to add, and iTunes will process all of them. When you first install iTunes, there is also (I think) an option to search all the hard drives and add any music.
(c) go to the "iTunes Store" section, and create an account for yourself, including credit card information. this will allow you to easily buy and download music (and videos). the iTunes search functions are kind of primitive, but decent enough; and with some glaring omissions, it is a surprisingly well-rounded set of labels, including a lot of indie music (which Apple encourages).
as Scott said, things also depend on whether you're running a PC or Mac, but I'm assuming you're running iTunes on a PC?

Inappropriate?Are you on a Mac or a PC?
If Mac, just double-click your music files :)
If a PC, you might have to change file-type associations so that iTunes is registered to open your audio files. see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307859 to achieve this.

Inappropriate?I still don't understand how to and I can't buy songs because I don't have a credit card. -
Inappropriate?so you are downloading them illegally?
I don't imagine that is something you should broadcast here...
I’m unconcerned
