Adding Songs Already on Your Computer to the iTunes Library

If you have digital music files, such as MP3s, already on your computer, you can easily

add them to your iTunes library.

To add songs on your computer to the iTunes library:

m

Drag the folder or disk containing the audio files to Library in the iTunes Source pane

(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.

Note:

Using iTunes for Windows, you can convert unprotected digital music files

created with Windows Media Player to an iTunes-compatible file, such as AAC or MP3.

This can be useful if you have a library of music encoded in WMA format. For more

information, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.

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:

1

Insert 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. For more information, see “Entering Song Names and Other Details” on

page 19.
