Updated February 10, 2017 Launch iTunes and insert the CD into your computer’s CD or DVD drive. By default, iTunes prompts you to confirm importing the music from the CD – just click “Yes.” If the prompt doesn’t appear, click the CD icon and then click “Import CD.” Wait for the importing process to complete. While importing, iTunes displays a progress bar. The song currently being imported is marked with a spinning circle icon, while songs that have been imported display green check marks. Click the “Eject” button to eject the CD from your computer. At this point, ITunes returns to displaying your music library. Repeat the process with any other CDs you want to import. Connect your iPhone to your computer. If iTunes is configured to automatically sync your entire music library to your iPhone, you don’t need to do anything – the syncing process begins immediately. Otherwise, scroll to the newly added songs in your music library, select them and drag them. As soon as you start dragging, iTunes shows a sidebar containing your playlists and connected devices – simply drop the music onto the entry for your iPhone to start syncing. If you’re not connected to the Internet when importing or the information for the CD is not available in the music database used by iTunes, generic track names display instead of detailed song information. If this happens, you can import the CD anyway and correct the song information later. By default, iTunes imports songs in the AAC format. If you’d like to change this to a different format, you need to adjust the software’s preferences (see Resources). The imported songs are saved in the same folder as music you buy from the iTunes Store. Writer Bio
