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

If I subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, I can use iTunes to import the contents of a physical CD to my iTunes library, whence I can sync it to all my devices. Having downloaded the new Apple Music app on my windows computer, I cannot see how to import a CD. Do I have to keep iTunes on my computer solely for this purpose?

Windows, Windows 10

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;

insert CD
open 'Media Player' app
on the side menu, select the CD tab
here you will see your CD and the automatically pulled track names etc.
click the 3-dots (...) select 'Rip Settings' - select your desired file format and bit rate, then click 'save'
click 'Rip CD'
once the rip is complete - the album is added into your 'Music' folder under artist name > album name > CD tracks.
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.
