Can I use Ruby gems in my Rails apps?

How would I use ruby gems in my rails app. I am having difficulty getting them to work, but I am sure I am just missing something simple here since I am new with rails.

For example I have the gems youtube_it and yahoo-music that I would like to be able to use in my rails app. Is this possible?

As @Dylan Markov sais, just add them to your gem file. Don't forget to bundle install after doing this. But some gems actually need to be installed into the app as well. You should check the documentation for the gem on how to do this.

Assuming you're using Rails 3, just add them to your Gemfile and they'll be available to your app:

gem 'youtube_it'
gem 'yahoo-music'
