"If you're like me, your iPod music collection begins with the CD. Hi, I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, and I'm going to show you how to get your CD music onto your iPod. It's pretty easy. What you're going to do is, the first thing you're going to do is to go ahead and put your disc into your DVD or CDR drive, and wait for it to come up when you do that. And you know, well you want to make sure you have iTunes launched first. That'll definitely be helpful. And then it'll come up, and it'll say in this case here would you like to import the CD Booty Summer Party into your iTunes library? And I'm going to click yes. At that point, because it's a commercially released CD you're going to see all, it's going to have the name and all the pertinent information. If it's a burned disc, or it's come from a place where it doesn't have the protocol, or it's a very, very old CD, you're going to have to enter in the things yourself. It's just going to be called track 1, 2 and 3. And if you see over here, the little; whoop, my space is going here, that it's importing the first song over here, this little thing is maneuvering right there and telling you that it's ready to go. Usually, once its labeled the first one it'll start to play it. I muted it so you know, right now I can talk to you and not hear Big Boy is off Da Chain. And it'll just go one, two, three, four there, and then it'll put it into your iTunes library. It's real simple. Launch iTunes, put in your CD, say yes sir I want to put it in, let it do it, enjoy it while it's loading into it, and then boom; you're going to find it right over here in your main music library. Sync all iTunes libraries and playlists when you hook your, when you hook your iPod up to it, and you're ready to go. Bring your CD music with you anywhere. I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, sayin' stream ya' later."
