How to download to PC Music Library from MP3 CD in Media Sou

Please advise how to download MP3 tracks from an external source such as a disc. I have been ripping CDs but I just recently tried downloading from an MP3 CD. I followed all the instructions indicated from "Importing" files etc. But in PC Music Library, the tracks or files are still in the location of the Disk Dri've and not in my hard disk. So naturally I can't play them or burn them into another CD. Once I eject the source disk, the tracks are not playable.
Am I missing a step? Thanks for any advice.

Copy the files from the disc to your PC then import them into the library from there.
As you have found, the library is just a database of the locations of the songs, not copies of the songs themselves. If you put them into the library from a removable dri've such as a CD-ROM or a pen dri've then they won't be found when that dri've isn't attached.
