How to Rip a CD to Digital Files
The fastest way to build your digital music library is to import your CD collection to iTunes. After converting your CD collection into digital music files, synchronize them with your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or another compatible portable music player. You need a computer that has an optical drive or an external drive. If you haven’t installed iTunes for Mac or iTunes on PC, the best place to get the latest version is to download it from the Apple website. It takes about 30 minutes to rip an entire CD of music to your iTunes music library.
