Where is my imported CD in iTunes 11?

I just tried to import a new CD into iTunes. Everything went smoothly: the CD was recognized, and I watched as iTunes read each track and checked it off. When I went into my library, however, the music was nowhere to be found.
The iTunes Match Cloud next to the music drop-down button on the top left (under play control buttons) has been "working" since the import. I am not sure why it's doing that, but thought it might be worth mentioning.
How can I go about getting the music to appear in my iTunes library?

Do you see it in your Recently Added playlist and do you use iTunes Match?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4543259 - delay of several hours (for some people overnight) for new additions to iTunes to appear in the main library window as a result of using iTunes Match. Things to try:
1) Turn off Match, see if the items appear, then turn Match on again.
2) Drag the items from the Recently Added playlist to the library.
3) Wait until they do appear.

Did you purchase them on your iPad with the same Apple ID that you are using for iTunes on your iPhone and that iTunes on your Mac is sign into?

HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

Importing songs to itunes folder from dvd's

i have a data dvd backup of all my 1400 songs from itunes folder. i tried to import it into a newly dowloaded version of itunes on my laptop with new hard drive.. it placed all the song info in the library, so i connected my ipod and directed it to this new library. it updated ipod successfully. but when i tried to play, i realized that i had only imported the song titles, etc. into itunes folder and subsequently onto ipod.. and because i directed to this "new" library, i lost all 1400 songs on the ipod.. pls help. how do i get my music from data dvd backup to library and to ipod. and do i have to import each song separately.. there are like 25 different folders on the dvd of albums, and downloads from itunes store....i just want what i had before my hard drive died. forgive me if i didn't post this right, my first time...

Note - You don't need to copy them to the HD first,
as btabz suggested.
There are different ways to import music. You can copy them (the music files) onto the HD wherever you want and then import into iTunes, or have iTunes import directly off the DVD and put the files in the iTunes Music Folder. Both ways get the music into iTunes and stored on your HD. It depends if you want the music in the iTunes Music folder or not. With the way I suggested, the music is placed where you want, instead of having iTunes put it where it wants.
Both ways will work fine though.

Can't import music to iTunes

This is something that recently started happening. I record a radio show with Audio Hijack pro. I import it to iTunes and it plays fine. I then find a small selection that I'd like to edit and keep. I open Fission and do my editing and save it. It saves under the name I assign it. I try to import the new file to iTunes and it doesn't load in to iTunes because the tag is still the same as the original file. I found this out when I used Finder to "Get Info." I changed the tagged name of the original file that is still residing in iTunes and then tried importing the new file to iTunes again. No go. I then double clicked the file in Finder to get it to play in iTunes. It played, but strangely enough, it didn't appear in the Music Library, but it did appear in the "Recently Added" section of the iTunes window. I used that appearance to change the Tags completely. I checked the "Music Library" after that, but the selection still did not appear. I tried dragging it from "Recently Added" to the Library, but it didn't work. I also tried dragging it to my iPod, but that didn't appear to work either.
I then tried a work-around and created a playlist with that selection and another selection and dragged that playlist over to the 'pod. The selection appeared on the 'pod, but only within the playlist, not the 'pods music library. I could play the new selection only via the playlist. It is still invisible to iTunes.
Does anyone have any idea why this should be? Am I missing a step in in the editing process? Could this be tag related and is there a way to edit the tags prior to importing to iTunes?

I too was having this problem, importing files to my iTunes. These were songs that I had on CD and had ripped. The first problem was that they were in .WAV format. I converted the files to .m4a (I also tried .mp3) and I still couldn't import. I put the files in a folder named after the album, nested in another folder named after the band in the iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder. (For example, The Doors/L.A. Woman) but then when I went to import the files into my iTunes library, like the above poster, absolutely nothing would happen, no error messages or anything. But I noticed the folders I had previous created, The Doors/ L.A. Woman, where gone. Finally I realized that because my files were not tagged with the Artist or Album iTunes was moving the files to a folder called Unknown Artist/Unknown Album, under the iTunes/iTunes Media/Music folder. Unknown Artist doesn't show up in the iTunes artist list.
What I did to fix this, was to play the song, in iTunes, right click on it and select "get info". Once the song is tagged properly with the Artist and Album, it will show up in the iTunes library AND it will actually create folders with the Artist and Album, on your hard drive, under iTunes/iTunes Media/Music AND move the song to this folder. There's probably a lot of other ways to tag the files, such as from the Recently Added playlist, by making a new playlist for the album or external software. I hope this helps someone from stratching their head as much as I was!

My original computer that has my itunes account on it no longer works. I am trying to import my phones itunes settings into my new computer and it is not letting me and I don't want to loose all my photos and music, what do I do?

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Share/Send Song to iTunes no longer imports song to iTunes

Background: For a year now, i've used GB (3.0.5) to rip my vinyl, adjust tracks, etc and import tracks into iTunes (8.0.2). Never had a problem. Click Share/Send Song to iTunes, mix down starts, iTunes pops up and starts playing the new track~ Until...
Recently: i got a new external HD for xmas and this week i moved my iTunes Library over to it to make some room. Well, after finally getting rid of all my !-marks and finding my album artwork again- iTunes is running fine.
Now: 10 hours ago I ripped a new record in GB, split my tracks, etc and went to Share/Send Song to iTunes. Mix down starts, iTunes popped up but doesn't start playing the track!!!!!
I've been around the world trying to set a Preference here, update a Library there, googled every combination of this tale i could think of, searched the Support threads, and Nuthin.
This may be an iTunes problem. I may have messed up my Library. Will totally understand if i need to take my question to the iTunes section.
Just wondering how i can tell GB where to export the song so that it goes to my current iTunes library> Please Help!?

Solved My Own Problem: Garageband doesn't like it when you use ',/,() ,or "&" in the drive or folder names. Sorry, i thought this was resolved back in 1995.
Thanks for looking here.

Import Files into iTunes: Why not mp3?

I created a simple workflow and saved it as a Finder plug-in. Two questions:
1) Anyone know why iTunes allows (under +Add to Library+) the import of mp3 files, but when creating an Automator workflow using the +Import Files into iTunes+, the mp3 option is not supported. In other words, you have to use a different Automator function like +Add Songs to Playlist+. This works too, but it takes a long time because iTunes has to convert each file to AAC. The +Add to Library+ function in iTunes is wicked fast, and I don't care what format the files are in.
2) After creating a Finder plug-in and wanting to delete it, where does it live? I can't find it. Spotlight can't find it. I just want to remove it.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, red. It seems that +Import Audio Files+ supports mp3, but the description on the +Import Files into iTunes+ doesn't specifically include mp3. I suppose a quick test will reveal. The original reason for the question is that the Automator workflow seems to force a conversion of each mp3 file -- even when choosing the mp3 option in +Import Audio Files+ -- which obviously slows down the process.
When from iTunes I choose Add to Library, navigate to the target folder and click OK, iTunes completes the 80-or-so files in no time.
Thanks for the tip on where to find the plug-in. I deleted it. The Automator desktop apps seem to work better.

Highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;ylt=AooGuxvheq40oC0etoPY8yvty6IX;ylv=3?qid=20090909143724AALIlSP
*What are the highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?*
I just got iTunes 9 and I want to know what the HIGHEST quality import settings are with the exception of Apple Lossless. I usually import cd's as
AAC
Stereo Bit Rate: 320kbps
Sample Bit Rate: 48.000 kHz
Channels: Stereo
Now when I go into the custom menu and try to set these settings, it gives me an error message that reads the following:
"The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed."
I was thinking about using WAV but I want a format that will be compatible with other/future personal media players as well such as Zune's and Creative MP3 players. Right now I have an iPod and don't plan on changing anytime soon. I just want the highest quality sound for my ears to hear.
so, *What is the highest for AAC?*
*Should I switch to WAV?*
& if you could, *What are highest quality settings for the other formats as well.*

well i personally think you should go with mp3 at 320kbps (max for that file format) main reason for this is that mp3 is compatible with pretty much everything, where as aac isn't although it is getting a bit better. the main difference between aac and mp3 is in the lower bit rates, i.e aac 128kbps sounds equivalent to mp3 192kbps (suppoesdly) but when you go from 192kbps and up both file formats sound basically the same, just a variation in file size. ig you want the highest quality for you ipod i would say 320kbps mp3. anything higher isn't worth it becuase most earphones cant even pick it up, only if you have high quality ones.

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.

Cannot Import MP3s into iTunes 9

I have a server in my house where I keep all my music. (WHS since Apple doesn't currently offer anything of this nature.) I tried to drag a standard MP3 file from my server over Samba to iTunes 9 and it just fails silently. iTunes doesn't freeze or anything. It just doesn't addd the song. We have two identical MacBooks that are both exhibiting the same problem.
The song doesn't import after...
- restarting iTunes.
- restarting the computer.
- updating to OS 10.6.1.
- dragging it to my local computer, then dragging it to iTunes.
- altering permissions on the file to 777.
- using the File | Add to Library method to import.
The song plays just fine in Quicktime.
The song played fine in iTunes 8 and imported fine in iTunes 8.
Any clue what is going on here or how to get information about the problem out of iTunes?

It must be something to do with some of the files, because I was able to import a different CD from the same server. I am still looking for a way to get a reason out of iTunes as to why it won't import the file.
You will not get a reason out of iTunes, since it is designed to "error silently" when you try to add a file that it finds incompatible.
If the MP3s play fine in other players but not in iTunes, then you have met the problem of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag clean-up program such as MP3 Validator.

Importing issues from itunes into garageband

I am having trouble importing songs from Itunes into garageband. This has happened sometime within the last 3-4 weeks or so and the first time I noticed it was today. It won't let me click and drag from itunes. It just bounces back. I am able to go into my finder and click & drag the file, so it's not a copyright issue...besides, I tried dragging from itunes a song I've already used in garageband and it's not working either. I updated itunes yesterday...could this be the problem???
I haven't updated to iLife..to be honest, don't really know much about it, because every time I click on the "tell me more" tab, it says it can't redirect me to the page that has the info on it ....*Gahhh* frustrating! ...could there be some kind of plug-in or something missing? I'm not super-techy, but I can do enough to get me by...Any help you guys can provide me with would be greatly appreciated!!

I am also having the same problem. i can drag the files out of the music folders but I can not drag any file out of the itunes screen. The files are .mp3 and are in lowercase letters. I tried a recommended fix where the files were reconverted in iTunes, but trying conversions in both .mp3 and .aiff did not work. Also, trashing a certain preference file was recommended on a discussions board but that did not work either. Until there is a solution, I'll have to work in Audacity.

Where is the import button for homesharing libraries?

Where is the import button for homesharing libraries?

Or, if by any chance what you are trying to do is to import (rip) a CD... insert the CD, let it register in iTunes, and then "Import CD" will appear at the upper right as shown.

HT1351 When I import cds to itunes the albums do not contain all songs. If there are multiple artists or a duet, each song shows up as an album.

When I import cds to itunes, the albums do not contain all songs. If there is a duet, each duet is listed as a separate album.
As an example," Genius Loves Company" or "Tuskegee" each are listed as many albums---each album has a separate song.
I spoke to Apple Help and they were of some help, but did not answer the question.

Unfortunately you've discovered too late how important it is to maintain an up-to-date backup of your iTunes library (and all other data of value). You could, before wiping the drive, have considered making use of a commercial data recovery service that could (albeit at considerable cost) have extracted your library from the hard disk, even if virus infected.
In the absence of that option, you will need to restore the content of your library from its original sources:
Depending on your location, you may be able to re-download any iTunes Store purchases that are still available on the Store
Likewise, most digital purchases from Amazon (including auto-rip copies of purchased CDs) should be available from the Amazon Cloud and via the Amazon Music application - the same may be true of other commercial sources for digital downloads
Content imported from your CDs will have to imported again
The specific situation that you describe regarding the music imported from your friend's external HDD suggests that either the source is badly organized and/or originates from a source other than iTunes (other media players may use alternative tags for information like artist, title, album, etc. that are not wholly consistent with how iTunes handle these). Without details of the issues you're seeing it is difficult to suggest a remedy other than going through the media album-by-album, track-by-track, and correcting the inconsistencies.
In the absence of a backup or access to the original library data there is no option other than painstakingly recreating your library as described above. As you do so, you'll now realize how important creating and maintaining backups are - in my case I have at all times three separate duplicates of my library, in two different locations, where none is ever more than a week old compared to the content of my master library.

Audio CD burning error- I opted for importing songs into iTunes as MP3

Hi,
Before I started importing songs into iTunes, I chose int eh iTunes preferences to import all songs as MP3, as I wanted the option of being able to burn CDs to play on my car MP3 player.
When I tried to burn a CD, I got an error message that these songs could not be burnt onto the CD. This had the option where I could see all the errors and the list was of all the songs that I was trying to burn.
BTW, I created a new playlist, dragged the required songs to this playlist from the library and pressed the burn disc option.
What am I doing wrong? Could it be that the drive is faulty?

First of all, how long is the total time of all songs? If it is more than 80 minutes, you can't record to the CD as an audio CD. If that is the case, and you say you have an MP3 cd player in your car... you might want to try burning to the disc as an MP3 CD. Go to iTunes preferences, then click "Advanced," then "Burning" and you'll see an option for "MP3 CD." Click that, and then when you burn the disc, you can put as many songs as will fit onto the disc.
Also, rewritable CDs aren't any better... as a matter of fact, a lot of audio CD players can't read them. A regular CD-R should be fine, even one rated at 40x speed.
