Rip CDs for Apple TV
Still have your music collection trapped in plastic discs? The bad news is that the Apple TV
won't play them. The good news is that it's easy to rip CDs to your iTunes collection on your
computer, where they can be accessed by your Apple TV or sent into the cloud with iTunes
Match.
Before we rip a CD, let's fix our settings:
1. Open iTunes and choose iTunes > Preferences (Command-,).
2. Click the General button on the toolbar.
3. At the bottom of the General pane, next to “When a CD is inserted,” choose Ask
to Import CD from the pop-up menu ( Figure 67 , red box)—or, if you have a
bunch of CDs to rip at once, make the process go faster by choosing Import CD
and Eject.
Figure 67: From the iTunes preferences, you can set what
iTunes will do when you insert a CD into your computer's optical
drive.
4. Select “Automatically retrieve CD track names from Internet.”
