Pop the CD in and Itunes should ask if you want to import the CD. Pretty simple stuff. Just make sure you choose a decent bitrate.

I believe the bitrate is selected in iTunes prefrences, I'm not sure as I'm a Zune user myself but am pretty familiar with Apple stuff since I have to sell it and answer questions about it for work.

The default bitrate settings should be fine though. Likely 192kbps.

Go to itunes at the top go to file and hit add folder to library click that and just double click the file where your songs are

Right, it's in the preferences section. Here's how I choose what bitrate to record at:

Meh = 192kbps

I like it... = 224 kbps

Fuckin rage = 360kbps

Also, I much prefer VBR's over mp3's or WMA's. I don't think ipoops allow them though.

I'd keep the originals handy, in case you get tired of lossy music in the future and want to re-rip in a lossless format //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Deleted all my MP3s years ago...haven't missed them at all.

You're telling me you can tell any audible difference between original CD quality and 360 kbps VBR format?

I enjoy FLAC on certain types of music. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Can't beat lossless, unless you have a space constraint, or can't hear the difference like some people //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif.

I can't. 320++ kbps sounds just like the original to my ears. 128 kbps is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif though.

i found how to import it but its not sending to my ipod

Agreed, 128 kbps is just awful. 192 is still quite borderline bad, especially if its in mp3 format.
