Step1

Find the song you want to add to your iTunes account. Transfer the song from CD to your "My Music" folder or any folder you specify. Download the song you want from a website, and it will automatically go the folder.

Hit "Open" so the song name appears in the file name window. Then once again choose "Open," and the song will automatically transfer to iTunes.
