Can't find burned music on different PC

I recently downloaded iTunes for my stepdad on his laptop. I downloaded a bunch of his CD's and took a bunch more home to finish downloading. I installed iTunes and signed in with his credentials on my PC, but I can't see any of the music I downloaded before.

1. How do I find/ see the music i have already downloaded?

2. If I continue to download more CD's on this computer, will he be able to see them on his laptop?

Thanks!

iPhone 5, Windows 8

Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, any CDs that you import to iTunes are only available in the library of the computer that you imported to.

Thank you for the reply. I do not really use iTunes, so I don't know of iTunes Match. What is it and where do I find it?

iTunes Match is a subscription service offered by Apple. For an annual fee ($24.99 in the US), this will:

upload media from your PC to the cloud (the same "iCloud" service that is used for some iPhone functions and for storage of iTunes Store purchase), with a limit of 25,000 songs excluding those purchased from the Store.
replace low bit-rate songs in your library with 256kbps AAC versions if the replacements are available in the iTunes Store
allow media to be accessed from multiple PCs and iDevices, when signed in using the Apple ID that's associated with the iTunes Match subscription

See https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ for more info.
