How to Copy CD to iPod or iPhone Using iTunes

To begin the process, you’ll want to make sure that you’re importing the songs from the CD in the format you prefer. The two most common music formats for use with iOS devices are MP3 and AAC. With this done, you’ll want to confirm that the songs have imported properly. Browse through your iTunes library in your preferred way to where the files should be. If they appear, you’re all set. If not, sort your iTunes library by Recently Added. Go to View menu > View Options > Recently Added. Select the Recently Added column and scroll to the top. The new files should be there. If you need to edit the song or artist’s information, read this article on editing ID3 tags. Once everything is set with the import, eject the CD by clicking on the eject button next to the CD icon in the drop-down menu or the left-hand tray. Then you’re ready to sync the songs to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
