Importing Music From a CD

One easy way to build up your music collection in My Music is to import songs from CDs that you own. When you add a CD track to My Music, you copy the full music file onto your computer's hard drive. You can listen to the imported tracks any time, whether or not you're connected to the Internet—no need to have a pile of CDs on your desk anymore!

Songs added to My Music from a CD are local music and burnable.

Here’s How

  1. Launch the Yahoo! Music Jukebox.

  2. Insert your music CD into the computer's CD drive. The title of the CD appears in the left navigation pane.

    A CD in your computer's drive appears in the Yahoo! Music Jukebox.

    Tip: If multiple titles are available for this CD, you may see a choice of titles. Select the one (if applicable) that's correct, or name the CD yourself where indicated.

  3. Click the title of the CD to see the tracks (songs) it contains; these display in the Yahoo! Music Jukebox's center pane.

    Click the CD title to see its contents.

  4. In the list of tracks, be sure that there are check marks next to the songs you want to import (and only those tracks). The Yahoo! Music Jukebox will copy only the selected tracks.

    Select the songs you want to import.

  5. At the top of the window, click the Import button.

    Click the Import button.

    As the Yahoo! Music Jukebox copies your music, you can see the progress of the import at the bottom of the window.
