Import CDs as Audiobooks?
I am trying to import a large set of CDs as audiobooks. Is there any way to do this? If not, is there any way to make a certain genre not appear in the rest of the library? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
See if this helps.

Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?
Hey there lollypops21,
It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

ITunes 6.0.1.3 crashes often when importing cds -- help!
I just installed iTunes 6.0.1.3 for the first time on my PC since I have it already on my iMac. It crashes fairly consistently when importing CDs. It seems basically useless on my Windows machine.
My import settings are:
320kbps/VBR-highest/normal stereo
I have a clean Windows XP machine, no viruses, no malware.
Is there any reason this can be happening besides iTunes being a POS on Windows?
thanksI've determined that iTunes has to be the topmost active window when importing, otherwise it will crash consistantly. And I though Microsoft was bad...
iTunes for the Mac works fine though. -

Problem importing CDs into iTunes
iTunes breaks some of my imported CDs into multiple folders/albums. How can I combine these back into one album? I have tried drag/drop, but that does not work.
You need to make sure that artist and album artist are the same on all tracks
See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468

Why do I not get artwork for imported cds on a windows 7 pc?
Can anyone tell me why since upgrading from windows XP to Windows 7 I do not seem to be able to retrieve any artwork automatically from itunes when importing CDs?
Wow, thanks for your reply Ann. I just went into my calendar, and clicked on a past birthday (which all got imported when I switched phones (used to get notifications on the iPhone)) and it seems I need to go into each contact that has a birthday listed and edit it...There MUST be an easier way! I've looked in the settings and NOTHING.

I updated to Itunes 10.6.1.7. over 6 months ago on my Mindows XP desktop. It has worked well.
Recently, on startup, a dialogue box appeared which read: "Itunes was nor properly installed. If
you wish to burn or import CDs you have to re-install Itunes." I attempted to upgrade to V 11.0.1
which ended with an error message and a code 2330. I have abandoned that idea. I would like to
re-install V10.6.1.7 or update to 10.6.3. but where do I find these old versions? Which do I use,
32 or 64 bit?
Please help.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
Trying to import CDs into itunes and after many years itunes suddenly stopped automatic upload?
Okay, can someone please give a useful answer? Thanks! I have been experiencing exactly the same problem for some time now, and it is very annoying. Furthermore, I would like to point out to Chris CA that there is absolutely nothing ambiguous about the original post.
So here is the deal. I used to be able to burn CDs with iTunes that played back fine on both my car and home stereo. After some update, and I am very sorry but I really do not remember which one, as I am just a user and not a programmer and just want something that works, which in the end Apple used to be all about, and therefore do not keep track of all the updates, CDs won't play back on my car stereo. Nothing else changed, still the same brand of CDs (even the same stack!), still the same car stereo, and still the same 2007 MBP. So by simple deduction I conclude it must be a software update. And I do not care what the exact cause is, I just want a fix!
I'd like to apologize for my tone in the above, but it is just a very annoying problem, even more so because it seems nothing is being done about it. Thanks for your answer in advance! -
Can no longer import CDs -Itunes freezes
I was going along just fine importing CDs and then one day after importing two CDs, it stopped working. Each time I try to import a CD, I see the list of songs, start the import process and everything locks up within a few seconds. I have to manually shut down - Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work. I can't use the CD diagnostics because that freezes up too. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
LaurieHi
I'm having the exact same problem too. I had posted here a while ago but no one had any solutions. The only thing that I can suggest is to upload the tracks one by one. Sometimes I can get away by uploading say 4 tracks in one go other times I can only upload 1 o 2 at a time. I know its not really a solution but thats what I ended up doing.
The problems began after I downloaded the latest iTunes version. although it could be windows xp too - I had Win XP with SP1 and not SP2. But then, I upgraded to SP2 and the problem didn't go away.

My iTunes will no longer import CDs. It reads them then very quickly copies them into the library but they are marked "not available" in the time column and will not play. Only the titles are there.

Have over 86GB of music now showing as "other" and although it is still on my iPod it is not playable. Most is from imported CDs. I do have a backup file on an external hard drive. How can I fix this?
To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them. -
Itunes 11.0.1 not importing CDs properly
I have just updated to itunes 11.0.1 and now find that it won't import cds properly.
The import window functions as it should and the CD imports onto the hard disk. (I can find the files using Finder). However, itunes does not show the files. If I use the search within itunes I can see the album title. However, when I click on it, I don't get to the album. I just get all the albums on my mac. If I scroll down to where the album should be in the library (say B for Black Moses) then the music isn't there. If I click on the file in Finder, it plays in itunes but still doesn't show up in the library.
This has only happened with the last update and has happened with two separate cds (I haven't tried to import more). Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? I have itunes match running on the computer too.
Thanks in advance,
Peter
[Start of Rant]
p.s. I know that Apple don't both reading or responding to comments on here, but seriously, your products are becoming a laughing stock. Apple maps is beyond a joke and iOS6 was total @@@@. Why can't you test products properly before releasing them? You are after all the biggest company in the world. There is no way I'm getting an iphone 5 and when my mac is eventually replaced, I doubt it will be with another apple product.
[End of rant]This sounds like it might be a network problem.
First, quit then relaunch iTunes and see if that helps.
Second shut down the computer and pier cycle the Internet router and power up the computer. Let us know how those steps work. -

ITunes 10.1.54 will not import CDs
I have been trying to import CDs since this most recent update and I am presented with the message "iTunes is not working properly". Following this the program shuts down, meaning I can't import any new CDs. I'd like to say I was surprised but I am not. Has anyone else experienced this/know of any fixes?
You need to go here and downlaod iTunes and reinstall it. No need to uninstall first.
-> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Version 10.1.54 was replaced by 10.1.56.
It is a different build number (56 vs. 54) but the same version so software update will not find it.
