If I subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, I can use iTunes to import the contents of a physical CD to my iTunes library, whence I can sync it to all my devices. Having downloaded the new Apple Music app on my windows computer, I cannot see how to import a CD. Do I have to keep iTunes on my computer solely for this purpose?
Windows, Windows 10
It took a while for me to figure this out, but even when Apple Music and Apple Devices are installed (which means that iTunes is crippled to only display audiobooks and podcasts), CDs can still be ripped in iTunes.
Open iTunes, put a CD in your CD drive, iTunes will prompt you to rip it (say yes) and wait until it's done. Once it's all done, go into "Recently Added" and you'll see everything you just ripped, but under "Audiobooks". Select everything and then drag-and-drop into Apple Music. That will then copy everything to the music folder in Apple Music (i.e. you old iTunes media folder). Then delete what you just ripped in the "Audiobook" folder.
You can still install iTunes even though you are using Apple Music on Windows. And iTunes still has the ability to rip CD's. Yeah it's anoying to have to use 2 pieces of software. but it works.
Thanks for this. I've reported it as an issue on the App store and told them how disappointed I am, especially since they're taking my subscription.
I removed Apple Music, but I still cannot see my music library in iTunes. Is there any way to get that back?
Yes, but where are my music files? My current itunes ripped the cd, but the itunes app shows only podcasts!
Be careful which format you choose in Media Player. I tried FLAC and Apple Music doesn't seem to support this format. ALAC works.
On a Windows computer, can I use the new Apple Music app to add a CD to my library?
