Importing Individual songs Or Albums To ITunes from CD or other sources.
With ITunes open and you having some new songs somewhere on your hard drive
or CD which you wish to have imported into ITunes Library do the following:
1. Press keys, "control + O" to open up the dialogue box.
Here you have the traditional "file name" edit box where you can type in a
file name such as a song title or even a location on the computer's hard
drive, external hard disk or CD where you think the song or songs is located
that you wish to import.
Generally especially for the first time if you do a shift + tab to jump into
the list of folders on your hard drive you will by default be in the "music"
folder on your PC.
If however the songs or albums are placed somewhere else on your computer
then you will need to navigate to those areas.
2. To navigate to a location where your songs you wish to import are
located, do the following, while within the "file name" edit box, type in a
location and be as accurate as you can about this. for example, I have my
hard drive broken up into three sections just for ease of use. I have a "C
drive" which everyone will have on their PC but I also have a section of my
drive with a D and another with an E partition which is nothing more than a
chunk of the drive sectioned off so that I can keep my files and folders
tidy.
On my D drive section I keep all my music and recently I have added a couple
of new albums which have not gone into the ITunes library so I want to add
them in.
3. In the "File name" edit box I type in something like the following:
Note: it will most likely be different for other people;
D:\music
As you can now see I have pointed ITunes to look in my music folder
contained on the D drive section of my PC's hard disk. I press enter key and
now I am nicely located within my music folder on the D drive.
4. Now I must press "shift + Tab" to jump into the list of songs and album
folders contained in here.
5. Once in this list I can up or down arrow and locate either songs or album
folders that I
Note: If I have a folder which contains multiple songs which I wish to add
into the library at once then going into the folder and doing a "control +
A" which we know is a select all keystroke will select the entire list of
songs in that folder. Next pressing the "enter key" will add them into the
ITunes library. Remember to wait for that little ding dong music as it lets
us know that the import has completed.
One more way to move a folder into ITunes can be accomplished as follows:
1. While in ITunes, open the file menu and arrow down to "Add folder".
2. Press enter.
3. Press "shift + Tab" to jump into your folder list.
4. Once in here arrow down to the folder of songs you wish to add to the
ITunes library and press enter key. Wait for the import to complete and
you're done.
