How to Rip A CD Using iTunes on Win/Mac?
You can either rip CDs with iTunes or rip CDs with Windows Media Player. Both of these two ways are commonly used. Considering that there is no Windows Media Player available on Mac computer, let me show you how to rip a CD with iTunes.
STEP 1. Insert an audio CD into your computer's CD or DVD drive. Then, open iTunes. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.
STEP 2. Click the CD button at the top left of the iTunes window. Then, you will get a prompt saying that "Would you like to import the CD "XXX" into your iTunes library. If you want to import every song on the disc, select "Yes". iTunes starts importing the CD. If you want to import CD songs selectively, click "No" and go to step 3.
STEP 3. Select the audio CD. When the list of songs appears in the iTunes window, click to remove the checkmark next to any songs you don't want to import.
STEP 4. To add selected songs to your library, select "Import CD" near the top right of the iTunes window. Then, select your import settings and click "OK".
STEP 5. Wait while the music is ripped to your iTunes library.
Note: If the CD is DRM protected, DRM protection has to be removed before the songs can be imported to iTunes.
