If you mean a Windows PC, you use iTunes. I'm going to assume for now that when you state Apple iTunes, you mean the desktop programme (iTunes). You can add your CDs to iTunes by using the feature in iTunes designed for that purpose and then play the music in iTunes on your computer, as well as copy it to an iPod, iPad iPhone.


  • You can download iTunes for Windows 10 from the following link: Download and use iTunes for Windows 10 - Apple Support.
  • If you have Windows 7 or Windows 8 (despite what your signature strip suggests), then you will need to follow this link instead: iTunes 12.10.11 for Windows (Windows 64 bit) but note that this version cannot be used to work with a portable device running iOS 15 or later
  • If you use Linux, then note that there is no version of iTunes for Linux and never has been
  • iTunes (the programme) cannot be installed on a Chromebook


Once you install iTunes on your computer, if you need assistance with copying your CDs into iTunes, you can either post back into this thread or start a new one.
