Importing Music from a CD
iTunes can automatically import tracks from your audio CDs, making them available for playback on your computer or transfer to an iPod.

Start
In the Advanced tab of iTunes Preferences, click Importing.
Choose Import Songs from the On CD Insert menu, to tell iTunes to begin importing as soon as you insert the CD. Click OK to close.
Insert an audio CD into your drive.
iTunes contacts the Gracenote Media Database to obtain track information for your disc. Importing begins automatically. You
hear an alert when the process is complete.
End
Note: Got Gracenote?
The Gracenote Media Database (formerly called CDDB) is an Internet repository of artist, track, and production information for thousands of songs and CDs. In most cases, iTunes is able to add Gracenote data to the CDs you import to your iTunes library. If the database doesn’t return track information, you can add it manually. I show you how in Part 13, “Managing Your iTunes Library.”
