To Add Songs from an Audio CD to the Library
- Insert an audio CD in your CD drive. After a moment, the CD's name appears
in the Source list and a list of the tracks on it appears in the Song list
(Figure 12).
Figure 12 iTunes displays the contents of an audio CD.
- Turn on the check box beside each song you want to add to the Library. (They should already all be turned on.)
Click the Import button. iTunes begins importing the first song. The status area provides progress information (Figure 13). The song may play while it is imported.

Tips
Sometime during step 1, iTunes may ask your permission to connect to the Internet. It must do this to retrieve information about the songs on the CD.
You can specify whether a song plays while it is imported by setting iTunes preferences. Choose iTunes > Preferences to get started.
When iTunes is finished importing songs, it plays a sound. In most cases, iTunes will finish importing songs from a CD before it finishes playing them.
