I am aving trouble importing songs from CDs. I completed the process as instructed - using the "import this CD" button (I have done this many times successfully).
The import process ran OK. When the Import process completed, I looked in my music Library and the songs were not there.
I repeated the process - same result. Nothing in my music library.
What should I do?
iPod classic
They are under the recently added playlist either? Have you tried adding the Date Added column to your Main iTunes library and then sorting your library by that category?

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Nope. I do not have a "recently add" playlist. The songs are not in the library anywhetre.
I can play the CD, and I can import the CD - but the songs don't make it into my library.
Two more clues: the last date that any music wasd added to my library was months ago. Also, iTunes will not play the CD while importing it.
What indication do you have that says the CD is actually being imported?

Re: [iPod classic] - Re: Importing songs from CDs - not showing up in my Library
When I load the CD, iTunes recognizes it and asks me if I want to Import the CD.
When I click on "Import CD", the song titles are retreived and show up. The iTunes bar at the top of the screen shows "Importing track 1" or "Importing the song by title". Each song is imported, and I can see each song being impotrted via the iTunes bar at the top of the screen. iTunes shows that the CD has been imported, and the system dings when the import is done.
This is exactly the same as every other time I've imported CDs. The only difference is that the songs do not show up in the library.
Thanks
Have you tried completely uninstalling iTunes and all other Apple related software and reloading it from scratch?

I don't know if you fixed your problem, but I had the same issue and just fixed it by logging out of the iTunes Store/iCloud and logging back in. Everything I imported was there in my library!
I had the same thing happen today for the first time. I signed out of itunes and back in and that seemed to fix the problem. Apple says to do this so it might be a good thing to try forst for others.
I tried VirgDavis suggestion and logged out of iTunes Store. Worked for me. Amazing! Thanks Virg.
Thanks for sharing what worked for you guys. 🙂

I too was frustrated that the files I loaded into iTunes could not be found when I did a search. Once I logged out of the iTunes store and restarted iTunes all songs and TV shows showed up.
Problem solved!
