Importing music and video already on your computer
If you have audio or video files on your computer, you can import them into iTunes so that they appear in your iTunes library.
To import a file into iTunes, do one of the following:
- Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
- In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate the audio file or folder, and then click Choose.
If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
By default, iTunes places a copy of each file in the iTunes Music folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about adding a pointer to the file (instead of creating a copy), click the link below.
