Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes lets you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library.
You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format.
If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
Video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format can also be added to iTunes.
To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
Mac
Add to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library", iTunes will
copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder.
Then adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes preferences.
