Listener Matt H. from Sacramento Ca asks, “I would like to upload my existing collection of CD music to my iPod. What format is the best to use (mp3, acc) in an effort to get as many songs on my nano as possible? How can I get from the CD to that format?

Insert an audio CD into your computer.

If your computer is connected to the Internet, iTunes will automatically display the album title and all track names (if the album is listed in the Gracenote CD database).

To copy all songs from the CD, drag the CD icon in the Source list onto the Library icon. To copy individual songs, select the CD in the Source list, then drag the songs you want from the song list pane onto the Library icon in the Source list—to select multiple songs, Command-click (Mac) or Control-click (Windows) songs before dragging them.

The iTunes display will provide feedback as it copies each song from the disc. iTunes will convert your song files to the file format you set under the Importing tab in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences (AAC is the default).
