Adding Songs Already on Your PC to the iTunes Library

If you have songs on your PC encoded in file formats that iTunes supports, you can easily import the songs into iTunes.

To add songs on your PC to the iTunes library:

Drag the folder or disk containing the audio files to Library in the Source list (or choose File > Add to Library and select the folder or disk). If iTunes supports the song file format, the songs are automatically added to the iTunes library.

You can also drag individual song files to iTunes.

Once You Have Imported Songs

Once you have your music in iTunes, you can play the songs in iTunes, create playlists, and much more. For more information on using iTunes to manage and play songs, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes and Music Store Help.
