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.

Hi - how do i transfer my music library from an old laptop to a new laptop?? BTW - i dont have the OLD laptop anymore - am i screwed??
You cannot transfer anything from a device which you do not have, because you do not have it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

How can I access my music library from a laptop on the road, as if my PC is not active? I tunes is installed on both PC and Home Sharing is enabled on both devices.
The key constraint for Home Sharing in this context is that both PCs need to be on the same wifi network. So once you get out of range of the wifi network covering your home PC, the laptop is not going to be able to Home Share.
Have you considered importing your iTunes music to the laptop? Then you could listen to a local copy of the music on the laptop while you're on the road. (You can do the import via home sharing when both computers are on the same wifi network.) -

If i install itunes to a new computer will i have access to download my itunes music library from icloud?
It depends on what country you're in, whether or not you can authorize that computer, and whether or not the songs are still available in the iTunes Store. Any copies in the iCloud shouldn't be considered to be a substitute for a backup.
