Q: CD to download

I have a few physical CD's that I want to move, but my devices won't connect to the computer to move that way. Is there some way to connect the CD, without match, to my account so that I can download them from there?

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.6, Using Windows and iTunes 12

    Not sure I fully understand the question...  You can import your physical CDs into iTunes, using your computer's optical drive.  It does not involve your iTunes Store account or "match" at all.  In fact, you don't even need an Apple ID.  The process is call "ripping," and you can find online How To articles about it by doing an Internet search on something like "rip cd itunes."

     

    Once the CD songs are added to your iTunes library, you can play them and sync them to your iPod, like any other songs already in your music library.  No need to download them.
