The two most common music formats for use with iOS devices areMP3 and AAC.
To choose your preferred format, launch iTunes.
Select theImport Settingsbutton next to that drop-down menu.
In the window that pops up, select your preferred punch in of file and your preferred quality.
The higher the quality, the better thesongwill sound, though also the larger the resulting file.
I’d recommend 256 kbps for a good balance of sound quality and file size.
ChooseOKin the Preferences window to save this change.
Insert the CD you want to copy into your rig’s CD/DVD drive.
SelectYesto import the CD.
Wait for all songs to import.
In most cases, though, ripping a CD should only take a few minutes.
With this done, you’ll want to confirm that the songs have imported properly.
Browse through your iTunes library in your preferred way to where the files should be.
If they appear, you’re all set.
If not, sort your iTunes library by Recently Added.
Go toView menu>View Options>Recently Added.
Select theRecently Addedcolumn and scroll to the top.
The new files should be there.
