Aug 28, 2016 8:59 AM in response to BRS36by Rysz,The Apple support article that sent you here has all the instructions you need.
Was there a particular step that you couldn't understand, or didn't work as expected?

Aug 28, 2016 9:55 AM in response to Ryszby BRS36,The article you sent was useless because the directions did not match how my screen looked. (I did both sections, including checking for updates, which it didn't need.)
SOLUTION: Copy CD tracks to dropbox account and play from there. MUCH easier, quicker, and I'm ready to go out the door.
The fact that this question has been asked so many times and people are still frustrated by Apple's iTunes sync should tell you a lot about iTunes as a viable option for music transfer in the 21st century.
