Import Music From Your Audio CDs Into iTunes
iTunes can import music and other audio from your audio CDs. If you have an Internet
connection, iTunes gets the names of the songs on the CD from the Internet (if
available) and lists them in the iTunes window. When you add the songs to iPod nano,
the song information is included. To learn how to import music from your CDs into
iTunes, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Adding More Details to Your iTunes Library
Once you import your music into iTunes, you can add more details to your iTunes
library. Most of these additional details appear on iPod nano when you add songs.
Enter Song Names and Other Information
If you don’t have an Internet connection, if song information isn’t available for music
you import, or if you want to include additional information (such as composer names),
you can enter the information manually. To learn how to enter song information, open
iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
Add Lyrics
You can enter song lyrics in plain text format into iTunes so that you can view the song
lyrics on iPod nano while the song is playing. To learn how to enter lyrics, open iTunes
and choose Help > iTunes Help.
For more information, see “Viewing Lyrics on iPod nano” on page 37.
Add Album Artwork
Music you purchase from the iTunes Store includes album artwork, which iPod nano
can display. You can add album artwork automatically for music you’ve imported from
CDs, if the CDs are available from the iTunes Store. You can add album artwork
manually if you have the album art on your computer. To learn more about adding
album artwork, open iTunes and choose Help > iTunes Help.
For more information, see “Viewing Album Artwork on iPod nano” on page 37.
Organizing Your Music
In iTunes, you can organize songs and other items into lists, called playlists, in any way
you want. For example, you can create playlists with songs to listen to while exercising,
or playlists with songs for a particular mood.
You can create Smart Playlists that update automatically based on rules you define.
When you add songs to iTunes that match the rules, they automatically get added to
the Smart Playlist.
