You can also drag individual song files to iTunes.

Importing Music From Your Audio CDs Into iTunes

Follow these instructions to get music from your CDs into iTunes.

To import music from an audio CD into iTunes:

1Insert a CD into your computer and open iTunes.

If you have an Internet connection, iTunes gets the names of the songs on the CD from the Internet (if available) and lists them in the window.

If you don’t have an Internet connection, you can import your CDs and, later, when you’re connected to the Internet, choose Advanced > Get CD Track Names. iTunes will bring in the track names for the imported CDs.

If the CD track names aren’t available online, you can enter the names of the songs manually. See “Entering Song Names and Other Details” below.

With song information entered, you can browse for songs in iTunes or on iPod by title, artist, album, and more.

2Click to remove the checkmark next to any song you don’t want to import.

3Click the Import button. The display area at the top of the iTunes window shows how long it will take to import each song.

By default, iTunes plays songs as they are imported. If you’re importing a lot of songs, you might want to stop the songs from playing to improve performance.

4To eject the CD, click the Eject (C) button.

You cannot eject a CD until the import is done.

5Repeat these steps for any other CDs with songs you want to import.

Entering Song Names and Other Details

To enter CD song names and other information manually:

1Select the first song on the CD and choose File > Get Info.

2Click Info.

3Enter the song information.

4Click Next to enter information for the next song.

5Click OK when you finish.
