Import songs from CDs into iTunes on Mac

You would need to burn all of this to an Audio CD. So, find all MP3 files through use of this External HD and then burn all the media disc as an Audio CD. Then, import it all from the Audio CD; everything (Album Artwork, Album names, Length, etc.) should be found and added to each and every file. So, Choose mp3 as the Import Options.

Hey there livio257,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand your having some issues with your iTunes titles and albums covers after moving them over from an older Mac. I’ll be happy to help with this.


You mentioned you moved your files over to an external drive then to your new Mac. You may want to consider using Migration Assistant to copy all your files over. This can often prevent issues like the one you’re reporting from occurring. You can read more about using Migration Assistant here:
