    Howdy Steve,

     

    I see from your post that you're concerned about what will happen to your imported CD music in iTunes if you deauthorize your computer in iTunes.  Please take a look at the information below about deauthorizing your computer in iTunes:

     

    When you deauthorize a computer, you remove its access to content that you bought from the iTunes Store, iBooks Store, App Store, or Mac App Store, such as music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books. You won’t lose your content, and nothing will be deleted from the computer. When you deauthorize a computer, you only prevent it from accessing purchased content. You can authorize your computer again later.

    You should deauthorize your computer before you:

    • Sell it or give it away.
    • Send it in for service.
    • Make major upgrades.

    Deauthorize your computer using iTunes - Apple Support

     

    Cheers.
