On a Windows computer, can I use the new Apple Music app to add a CD to my library?

Yes, but where are my music files? My current itunes ripped the cd, but the itunes app shows only podcasts!

Be careful which format you choose in Media Player. I tried FLAC and Apple Music doesn't seem to support this format. ALAC works.

It took a while for me to figure this out, but even when Apple Music and Apple Devices are installed (which means that iTunes is crippled to only display audiobooks and podcasts), CDs can still be ripped in iTunes.

Open iTunes, put a CD in your CD drive, iTunes will prompt you to rip it (say yes) and wait until it's done. Once it's all done, go into "Recently Added" and you'll see everything you just ripped, but under "Audiobooks". Select everything and then drag-and-drop into Apple Music. That will then copy everything to the music folder in Apple Music (i.e. you old iTunes media folder). Then delete what you just ripped in the "Audiobook" folder.

Very much extra work, but it does work. Apple needs to fix this so we can do it all in Apple Music.

I was stumped by this issue. And stuffed by my iPhone not taking all songs from an album I had ripped from a CD (that I bought from a record shop, yes, old school), as it would only import some of the album to the phone yet show me via Apple Music that the phone contained all of those songs.

So I uninstalled iTunes, and installed Music and Devices as instructed by Apple Support to my Windows computer. And with these installed we cannot import from CD to Music app.

As per Brocktoon623 reply above, I ripped the CD using Media Player on Windows (thanks Brocktoon623, great tip) and then drag and dropped the album to Music. Then I have to sync the phone using the Devices app, and finally the album is imported to my phone.

Come on Apple, it was so much easier with iTunes.

For anyone looking for a temporary workaround whilst Apple add this feature back in for Windows version of Apple Music - CDs can be imported as follows;

1. insert CD
2. open 'Media Player' app
3. on the side menu, select the CD tab
4. here you will see your CD and the automatically pulled track names etc.
5. click the 3-dots (...) select 'Rip Settings' - select your desired file format and bit rate, then click 'save'
6. click 'Rip CD'
7. once the rip is complete - the album is added into your 'Music' folder under artist name > album name > CD tracks.
8. in 'Apple Music' app, click on the 3-dots (...) in the navigation pane on left-hand side > select 'Library' > click either 'Add files to library' or 'Add folder to library' > navigate to your ripped CD track files/ album folder.
