What's a good strategy plan to import CDs into itunes library

I have lots of CDs I'd like to import into my itunes library. What's a good strategy plan? Creating categories, playlist, etc will help?

When you rip each CD, make sure that all the tag info is correct, including titles, artist, album, and genre. Then, once the tracks are in the library, you can use the built-in iTunes capabilities for sorting.
There is no need to set up individual playlists per album; rather, use playlists for special lists or compilations that you make. When you are ready, learn how to use the smart playlist functionality, as it adds a lot of control and fun to your listening.

  • Cannot import CDs into iTunes, disc is corrupted and unreadable error.

    Cannot import CDs into iTunes, keep getting disc is corrupted and unreadable error. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
    If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.

  • Just bought an apple iMac went to import music cd only to discover it doesn't have a cd/DVD player can't find any on the apple site what do I need to buy to import cd into ITunes

    ,Just bought an apple iMac went to import music cd only to discover it doesn't have a cd/DVD player can't find any on the apple site what do I need to buy to import cd into ITunes

    Get the Apple USB Superdrive. It is available on the Apple store page of the Apple web site. Just look under storage on the left hand column under accessories for the Mac.  $79.  I have one since I have a lot of DVD's and CD' s. I burn DVD's made from movies created with iMovie.  Works fine. You may be able to find one cheaper at Other World Computing.
    BTW, you can expect that future computers will not have optical disk drives. This is definitely true for Apple and I suspect other mfgrs will also as we move more into streaming video and downloading of apps rather than selling CD/DVD versions.

  • 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

  • Importing CDs into iTunes - User Not Registered For Online Use

    I am on Windows 8.1 Pro using iTunes 12.0.1.26 and am trying import CDs into my iTunes library.  When I insert a music CD in the album information and track names don't come in automatically.  When I try to manually get the information, I get an "User not registered for online use" message. 
    Request if I can be provided with some assistance on this. Importing CDs was no problem until I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 yesterday morning.
    Thanks.

    Same issue - windows 7.  Worked fine yesterday - updated to iTunes 12 and now it is broken and I get the "user not registered for online use" ERROR.  Seems like the latest "upgrade" broke GraceNote access.

  • Importing CDs into iTunes for Macbook Pro

    For Chrismas this year I recieved a new Macbook Pro. On my old computer I would import my CDs into iTunes to listen to music, rather than buying all new music that I already have! This is my first time owning any kind of apple computer and I have no clue how to do certain things on it! I would really like to import my CDs so I can listen to music, but this computer has no CD drive and I have no idea how to do so! I would really like to figure this out so I don't have to spend more money on music that I already own! Please help a confused new Mac user!! Thank you!

    Pioneer DVR-XD09
    THAT'S the one I have and use with my Mini.
    I got it four years ago for my daughter, with a Netbook, which has since been retired. It comes with a "dual" USB cable (2 into 1 - 1 for data,1 for power) but I got an AC adapter for the power so it only uses one USB port now. The dual cable comes in handy when you're on the go, though. No external power source needed.
    It reads and writes (+and -) CD-Rs CD-RWs, DVD-Rs, DVD-RWs, single and dual layer. About the only thing it won't do is BluRay.

  • Please help me.  I cannot import videos into itunes library

    I have read the manual's entries on doing this and nothing seems to be working. It won't let me import my own videos into the itunes library for me to convert to a file recognized by ipod. I have a 5th generation ipod. I am doing everything it tells me to do and still nothing. I have called technical support and they won't help me because I didn't purchase the videos through itunes. I have tried to click and drag the file and it won't let me do it even though the manual says that's what to do. when I look into the movies tab it is blank. When I put a dvd in my drive to copy to itunes library it doesn't even show up. I am going crazy and am about to return this if I can't get this figured out.

    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • How do I sync my imported CDs with iTunes Library to get them everywhere like purchased items?

    Good day!
    I've got iPhone 4S. And I have some licensed CDs which I've imported to my PC's iTunes Library. I've synced my iPhone with that library. But I want to get these CDs on every computer where iTunes installed. So I want to have one global Library that contains both my purchased through iTunes music and my CDs. I do not want to pay twice for one album. Is it possible?

    The content is only where the user puts it.
    If you desire to have the content on multiple computers, put it there.  Use a flash drive, external hard drive, or copy the files over the network.

  • WHY DOES IMPORTING CDS INTO THE LIBRARY SEPARATES ARTIST TO ANOTHER FILE INSTEAD OF IMPORTING THE CD TO THE SAME LOCATION ,AND WHEN IMPORTING ANTHOLOGY CDS THE LUMP SEVERAL CDS TOGETHER AS ONE CD OR PLACE MULTILPLE CDS IN THE LIBRARY

  • Can't import songs into itunes library...

    For some reason it isn't working. I took a couple of songs off my ipod via ephpod and i tried opening them using the import function in itunes. I open it, but the songs aren't added into the library at all. Maybe it might be the file format? Anyone have anyway to convert the songs into the accepted format?

    Yep,
    I have been having the exact same problem now for over a year. First, it was like six hundred songs--wouldnt play on my ipod and then wouldnt add into my itunes library. It happened to correspond with an update of itunes and the ipod firmware. It has only gotten worse and now I am in fear of updating anything further. I have been looking for answers to this problem for a long time, if you happen to get an answer that works would you let me know about it too?
    Thanks!

  • Importing CDs into iTunes

    I import one cd into iTunes, but it appears as several cds. Example: Mozart's Requiem, it consists of 14 movements, i.e. 15 tracks on my CD, but in iTunes it becomes two albums, one with tracks 1-13, one with track 14 only. Is there a method for turning this into one album, so I can play the whole piece continuously? (Yes, I know I can put them into a playlist, but that's another story.)

    Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.

  • How to import CDs into iTunes 12 library without CD 'breaking up' into dozens of icons?

    I realize this question has been asked before; however, nothing I do (according to the solutions I've read thus far) fixes these two problems described below (with examples)  (BTW, using a Dell PC).  I lie not when I state that I've spent HOURS on this; don't want you to think I'm a lazy assed nard who can't be bothered to look up stuff myself, but this sh** has me ready to tear my hair out.
    1.  Album imported from CD does not import all the songs.  I receive no error message.  For example, AC/DC Back in Black comes up with Tracks labeled:
    1; 2; 6; 7; 8; 9; 10.
    At one time, all tracks were there and "joined"; have no idea how they became "free floating."  Tried ordering them in different ways (by Album, Artist, etc.)  Doesn't work.
    2.  Tried to import a 3 CD disk ("I'm Not There" from B. Dylan movie); I get ~30 different Albums/icons in my iTune library.  Tried to follow directions for joining compilation albums with different artists, but nothing works.  One suggestion was to sort by track number but I've search high & low and cannot find any such command.  Tried the menu, tried to hit the top of the column -- nada luck. 
    I know everyone has heard this before, but why, oh why does Apple insist on changing simple things for merely the sake of change??  I've always been a booster for Mac & Apple but dude, this is getting on my last nerve. 
    Person who bothers to read this and help me, I'll light a candle for you at church (if you're so inclined).

  • Can't import CDs into iTunes

    This is a repeat of a problem that I reported back in Oct, but never got any solution. When I first installed iTunes on this computer I was able to copy a CD into iTunes with no problem. Since that time I haven't been able to copy another CD. I uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime, then installed the latest versions with no change in performance.
    I really would like to change the tunes on my iPod before it wears out.

  • I am having an issue importing CDs into iTunes.

    When I import a CD into iTunes, certain songs are separated into a different "folder".  It seems as though they are songs where another artist is involved in the song.  I want the entire CD in one place.  Can anyone help?

    If you have an album with multiple artists, but you want them grouping together in folder (and also within the 'Artists' section on iPod) - ensure that the tag of 'Album Artist' is the same for everysong - for instance "Various Artists"
    This means that itunes will still keep the album together both in its source folder AND in iTunes even though you may have a "Hits 2012" album for instance.

  • Unable to import videos into iTunes library

    For the past few week I have been unable to import videos from my computer into the iTunes library using either the drag and drop or import file methods. I am using the latest version of iTunes and a second generation iPod touch.
    I have tried using file formats: wmv, av1, mpeg & mp.4 but all refuse to load into the library. To test I have changed a file name of a video that was successfully loaded into the library a while ago and this file also refuses to load. I have also used 'Smart FLV Converter' to convert the files to 'MP4 for iPod' and this converted file also cannot be imported. All of the files play OK from the desktop.
    Any suggestions as to how to overcomne this problem would be appreciated

    I don't know if this helps but my iTunes was crashing everytime I tried to add a file located in the "My videos" folder. I moved the files to "My Music" Folder and had no problems. Seems like a simple/stupid solution but it worked for me. I still don't know why it wasn't allowing me to do it in the first place.
