How to Add CD Songs to iPhone 5

It is no strange thing for iPhone 5 users to store hundreds and even thousands of songs on the mobiles. Even though digital music store like iTunes have provided easy accesses to numerous songs for iPhone 5 users, they are actually not the only source of iPhone 5 music. In fact, not all iPhone 5 users can afford the bills of hundreds of iTunes songs. In most cases, nearly half of the iPhone 5 songs are provided for free. Of course, among all those free iPhone 5 music, songs from CD album robs the biggest share. Before the popularization of digital music stores like iTunes, CD album was actually the major bridge that connects users and music songs. Therefore, the fact that most users more or less have purchased CD albums helps to make CD songs popular on iPhone 5. After all, no one will say no to play songs in purchased CD albums on iPhone 5. To this extent, the process of adding CD songs to iPhone 5 is actually a money-saving way.

However, since the CD songs are not supported by iPhone 5, users are not allowed to add CD songs to iPhone 5 directly. Generally speaking, to manage the task of playing CD songs on iPhone 5, users not only need a way to convert CD songs to iPhone 5 supported digital music, but also be handy with the process of music transference from iTunes to iPhone 5. Here, a step-by-step guidance will be offered to allow users add CD songs to iPhone 5.

Part I: Convert CD songs to MP3 music

With the absence of DVD drive, iPhone 5 is only allowed to play digital music songs.

Of course, to manage the conversion process from CD songs to MP3 music, a powerful CD to MP3 converter like Leawo DVD Ripper is needed.

Import CD songs

After installing DVD Ripper, open it and then click “Load DVD” option in the drop-down menu of “File” to import the songs on CD album. Choose those songs needed to be played in iPhone 5 by checking the boxes before the name of the songs.
