If you want items to appear in iTunes but also remain in their original location, deselect this checkbox. For example, you can keep music imported from CDs on your computer and save your video files on an external storage device.

If I subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, I can use iTunes to import the contents of a physical CD to my iTunes library, whence I can sync it to all my devices. Having downloaded the new Apple Music app on my windows computer, I cannot see how to import a CD. Do I have to keep iTunes on my computer solely for this purpose?
For years I've been using iTunes downloaded from apple.com (not the windows app) to manage my music and apple devices on various PCs. From reading the new Apple Music for Windows guide, it doesn't look like there is any ability to rip CDs into your music library like iTunes could. It also looks like when you install Apple Music/TV/Devices, you can no longer use iTunes for your music library.
In theory if you're running Win 10 or 11, you should be able to rip a CD using the newer updated Windows Media Player (replaced Groove). Then use the new Apple Music app to import the ripped files into your music library, and then the Devices app to transfer to your Apple device. But I wouldn't recommend being the guinea pig.
For now I'm sticking with iTunes 12.13.1.3. But I'm concerned that we'll eventually be forced to use the Apple Devices app to stay current and manage our iphones and ipods which will then require the music/tv apps and shut out iTunes ... meaning no way to rip our physical media libraries.
It took a while for me to figure this out, but even when Apple Music and Apple Devices are installed (which means that iTunes is crippled to only display audiobooks and podcasts), CDs can still be ripped in iTunes.
Open iTunes, put a CD in your CD drive, iTunes will prompt you to rip it (say yes) and wait until it's done. Once it's all done, go into "Recently Added" and you'll see everything you just ripped, but under "Audiobooks". Select everything and then drag-and-drop into Apple Music. That will then copy everything to the music folder in Apple Music (i.e. you old iTunes media folder). Then delete what you just ripped in the "Audiobook" folder.
Yes and no. In their infinite wisdom Apple have hobbled iTunes while Apple Music is installed. Remove the Apple Music for Windows Preview app and use iTunes as intended. The replacement really isn't ready yet.
LASpooner, thank you for taking that time to call and find that out. I've been fearing that this will be a permanent feature (or lack there of) not allowing us to import via CD. Hopefully that person was telling the truth.
Update: By default, the iTunes folder is C:\Users\name\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media whereas the default Apple Music folder is C:\Users\name\Music\Apple Music\Media, so need to make sure you're using the same folder so everything will sync properly.
Go to C:\Users\yourname\Music. Once there, you'll see two folders: "AppleMusic" and "iTunes". For Apple Music, the music library is in a subfolder called "Media\Music", and for iTunes, the music library is under "iTunes Media\Music".
Finally a call to Support again and an hour and a half of screen sharing later the lovely Support person found a box to check in Devices, "Sync Music with My Phone's Name". Which is not among an offer to sync any other device.
With a Mac, you get Core Audio as your built-in audio driver. Core Audio is brilliant and you have close to no issues using it with your favorite DAW or when doing screencasting. On the other hand, Windows Audio is horrible when it comes to music production and screencasting. (I even had to find a new solution when doing screencasting on a Windows PC).
First of all, please do not buy the new Macbook Retina 2015 for music production. Despite what people say, the Macbook Retina is not made for music production. It may be good for writers or web users on the go but not for a music producer.
You may argue that Firewire is outdated, but being able to customize my computer to run with legacy hardware and devices was very much appreciated. So the PC allows for lots of customization and networking. You could use that to your advantage in future-proofing your production computer and also to add more computing power to your recordings.
Try to get a silent casing with built-in padding when you built your PC. A good case not only helps with the cooling of the computer, but it should also be silent enough. Noises are usually emitted from hard disks and fans in your computer system. If you have a one-room home recording studio, getting a silent case is so very crucial.
As always, get as much RAM as you can. Sampler instruments and plugins are always RAM-hungry, so you make sure you have enough RAM for a smooth producing experience. There are few things to look into RAM. Make sure it has a frequency of at least 1600Mhz.
I find this to be the best setup for music production on a PC. This setup ensures your system is blazing fast while you have enough space for the other samples. I recommend the Western Digital 2TB Black hard drives.
I hope I covered enough for you to get started in recording and producing music in your home studio. There would be an endless debate on which operating systems and hardware are better for producing music, but most importantly, you should focus on your music and skills.
Your a moron whom thinks macs are better than pcs for music,yet act as if you know the first thing about recording.If you did you wouldnt be spewing nonsense about pcs being horrible for recording audio.A 500 dollar pc is 10x better for production than a 1300$ mac,mac is overpriced non upgradable garbage,ive owned many of both and the new macbpro unibodys are junk,just google it and youll fing thousands of people who have had the problems I have and apple even admits that millions of them used a junk solder that fails after 1 and a half years rendering it a paperweight,try replacing the battery once it fails by sending it in or fixing yourself and youll be one of thousands who are told theres nothing that can be done.also pcs have no problem with asio or anything else,thats bs,asio for all is just as good as coreaudio.and pcs are way more powerful,for less and unlike apple you can upgrade them forever,apple doesnt allow you to upgrade the os after 4 yrs,though they claim 5,so now even though my macbook pro from 2011 is functionally capable I cant download any new apps from their app store because its not running latest os,even though it was able to download those exact same apps before they updated the os,but now because im 2 versions behind i no longer can.apple is garbage for music,they once were the best but no longer.
I am sorry but regardless of which are better computers, you just have to look at Apples recent attitude to creatives. Discountinued Aperture for photographers, cripped logic and final cut pro. There are no longer interested in creatives, only consumers who want to pretend to be creatives. If you are serious and want to be able to build a system that will last you 5-10 years and grow and not become obsolete get a PC. I have a PC that I bought for 1200 uk with a quad core processor and 6 gig ram back in 2010 I upgrade in 2014 to 24gig of Ram and a larger power supply and moved to WIndows 8, then in 2015 I moved to Windows 10, the machine is still going strong, runs the latest version of all my software and peripherals and I have had 0 issues apart from with Protools and thats just because AVid are a shower and my issues are not platform specific. in that same time I would probably ahve had to buy 2 -3 MAC machines at a cost probaly in the region of 10000 my expenditure including original outlay and upgrades is 1500 in the same time period. You do the math.
