Thanks, Michael! I know how to do it, unfortunately the CD's seem to have some sort of coding that is keeping Itunes from bringing the music into Itunes. Thus I ccan't listen to them on my Iphone, Ipad, etc. The CD's are brand new, no scratches, etc. but will not load into Itunes from my disc drive.

If the discs are copy-protected then there is nothing you can do except return them as defective since they are not true Compact Disc Audio CDs. You could try another ripping software such as Max, but if iTunes can't rip them probably nothing else will be able to either. Google might be your friend in this situation.

Unfortunately, It looks like this is Garth Brooks trying to make it impossible to use Itunes with his music. I have tried other ripping software, but it will recognize the disc, but not rip it. Thanks for trying to help.

I found this thread on Amazon from this past December where one person says they were able to rip the discs using iTunes: http://www.amazon.com/Ripping-to-pc/forum/Fx2J6LU5EO28SMD/Tx1Q4WE0QR4M44R/1/ref= cm_cd_dp_tp_cq?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B00GYAP848.

Are you getting any error messages, or anything that tells you what the trouble might be?

I was able to load my albums on there just fine and so were a couple other people I know that bought the set. I don't think it's a problem with the discs. Have you tried ripping another cd that's not part of the box set recently?

Sounds like he kindof hates his fans.
