How to transfer CD tracks to iTunes and then import them to iPod

Hi iPeople,
I am coming up with this post to provide the resolution to one of the comments posted in this blog.

Many users are still confused on how to transfer music to their iPod from iTunes. Well not to worry.I hope this article would surely help those.

Assuming you have a CD with audio tracks(make sure the tracks which you are trying to import are of the format .mp3 or .aac).

Step1: Insert the CD into your computer CD drive and let the computer read the CD.

Step2:Open the iTunes application in your computer.

Step3:On the left hand side panel of your iTunes , you can find option such as LIBRARY, STORE,DEVICES and PLAYLISTS.

Step4:Just check if you can see the title of your CD name under the DEVICES option.

Step5:If yes, then click on that and you will find all the tracks populated on the right hand side.

Step6:Then all you have to do is, at the bottom right hand corner you can find a button called "import CD". Click on that and all your CD tracks will get inside your iTunes LIBRARY.

Step7:To check if all the tracks are within the LIBRARY, click on "music" option which is below the LIBRARY. You can either see a whole list of songs, or the album cover of the CD. Just search for the tracks which we just imported.

There we go, all the CD tracks are imported into the iTunes.Now inorder to import them to the iPod just follow the steps below.

Step1:Before you plug your iPod to the computer, I want you to make sure that , This is the primary computer to which you always plug your iPod. It is always necessary to check this because if your iPod is in auto-sync mode, and if it is not your primary computer, then you stand a chance of loosing all your music from the iPod. So inorder to avoid any such risk, I will help you in transferring the tracks manually into you iPod from iTunes and which is always the safest way to do.

Step 2: To put you ipod in Manually sync mode, plug your ipod into the computer.Just check if you are getting any pop up from iTunes saying that "this ipod was used with different computer".
If not, well nothing to worry about, if yes, then you just have to click "cancel" button in that pop up.

Step3:You can see the name of your iPod just below the DEVICES option on left hand side.Click on that to get the summary page of your iPod on the right hand side.

Step4: In the summary option, at the bottom you can find a check list. There you can find an option called "Manually manage music and videos". It should be always checked.

Step5:Then go back to the music section under the LIBRARY and inorder to import the tracks all you have to do is drag them one by one or the selected tracks together and drop them over the iPOd name under the DEVICES.

There you go. You can find the iTunes say "iPod Syncing.Do not Disconnect". Once that is done, just unplug your ipod and check for the tracks.

If there is any part which was not clear, please leave a comment here and I will get back to make it even more clearer to you. Always looking to make the life of iUser's(i mean, iPod users) far more comfortable with this amazing gadget.
