iTunes is a good way to get new music, or music you don't already have in your collection. (isn't iTunes 99 cents per track?).
You can easily rip songs from your existing CDs. The iTunes application does it easily. So do many other applications. As to getting music off of LPs or tape, that requires a little bit of hardware - it's in an analog format, and digital music is, well, digital. If you've got a Mac, you can run the output of the tape player, or the turntable through a preamp right into the audio input jack of a Mac. You'll then need some software (I use Amadeus, but there are others) to copy it to a digital format. For PCs, you'll need an audio card and software.
The music off an LP or tape won't be neatly split into tracks, like a CD. So you'll need to manually split the songs and add name information. Or simply record on side of the LP or tape as a single, long track, and live with it. Personally, I've been using my Mac to rip my rather large LP collection, lots of which will likely never show up on iTunes or CD (pretty obscure stuff).
Some folks don't want to go through all that. Or they want the latest song that just came out, and don't want to bother with buying a CD. Given that those run over $10, if you want NEW music, iTunes and other on-line music stores are about the same price. Why spend $12.99 for a new CD when you only care about two or three tracks? Instead pay $3 for the stuff you want.
