Add songs to iTunes

In this practical tip we will show you how to add songs from your own files to iTunes. Newbies and non-iOS users in particular have their problems here.

ITunes collection in just a few steps

1. Click the iTunes menu. This is located in the upper left corner of iTunes and looks like a two-part square (see picture).
2. Now click on the "Add file to library" field. Alternatively, you can also use the key combination "Ctrl" + "O".
3. You will now be forwarded to your personal music collection. Simply select the songs you want to add to iTunes.

Import songs from a CD

Songs from a CD can also be added to iTunes:

• If you have iTunes open, insert the CD with the desired tracks into your drive.
• Now a window opens. You will be asked if you want to import the titles into the media library. If you click "Yes", all songs will be added. However, if you click "No", you can only import certain songs. To do this, remove the markings next to the tracks so that they do not get into your music collection.
