How do I add music from my CD collection to iTunes if my Apple computer doesn't have an optical drive?

How do I add music from my CD collection to iTunes if my Apple computer doesn't have an optical drive to take the music from the CD's to my iTunes library?

1) Use a different computer which has an optical drive, then transfer the media files to the other computer.
2) Buy an external optical drive for your computer.

  • HT2729 how do i transfer music from my IPhone to my itunes on a different computer?

    i want to transfer music from my ipohne 4S to itunes on my computer. How do i do this?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • How can I add music from itunes to my slideshow in premiere?

    How do I add music from itunes to my slideshow in premiere?

    What have you tried, and do you receive an error message?
    In general, itunes has DRM (copy protection) so it will only work according to the license... and as far as I know, Apple's license does not allow use in a new product, only in the Apple player... new product being the video you want to create

  • How do I add music from itunes to imovie

    How do I add  music  from  itunes to imovie?

    Hi
    I do
    • Never use .mp3 (or other strange formats)
    • Never import directly from iTunes
    • Convert all to .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD 44.1kHz .aiff
    In iTunes I collect needed audio into a new PlayList
    - then burn them as a Standard Audio-CD (.aiff)
    to convert .mp3 or other formats to .aiff I use - Audacity™ (free from Internet)
    and in all my movie projects in - iMovie HD6 or iMovie'11 or FinalCut Express or Pro - I use these .aiff files.
    I have near to Zero problem with Audio in my projects.
    Yes - tedious. Yes there might be better ways - BUT - YES I hate to re-do my projects and the Audio never makes me to do that this way.

  • How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes

    How do I add songs from my iPod to my iTunes??

    Within Windows' folder options, select the option to view all hidden and system files. Then access your iPod through My Computer. Go into the transulcent iPod "ipod_control" folder. There's a folder in there called 'Music'. All your songs are in the several folders within this folder.
    Sadly they're all renamed by iTunes, but all artist, album and song name information is retained within the files. You can simple copy the files from this folder onto your hard drive and add them into iTunes as normal.

    Within iTunes use the add folder to library option available on file menu. Select the folder to add. iTunes will add the file to iTunes library. Depending on settings, iTunes may copy the file to iTUnes folder location.
