{{WebHelpHeader|Adding CDs to the Library}}
MediaMonkey can catalog CDs (Audio CDs or data CDs containing
compressed audio Tracks), even if you don't rip the CD
contents to your hard drive. To do so, place your CD in your CD Rom drive.
If no information about the CD is available on your system, an attempt will be
made to identify it by connecting to Freedb over the internet.
Right-click the CD in the '''My Computer''' node and make any
changes to any of the Track properties (these will be saved to a file called
cdplayer.ini so that the CD will be recognized if it is subsequently inserted).
Once you're comfortable with the CD's properties, select '''Add Files to
Library''' or press '''<Insert>''' . The CD will be
catalogued in the library. CDs that have been added in this manner will
appear in the '''Locations''' node of the Library, while
the Tracks contained within will be browsable via other nodes such as
'''Album''' or '''Artist''' . Note that the
Tracks from the album will appear greyed out if they're inaccessible (i.e.
if the CD is not inserted), and black if the CD is
inserted.
