Then take the cd that you have, open windows media player, see if you can import the files.
Edit: it will probably ask you if you want to import the files.

Sounds like you need to befriend a local Apple savvy nerd to come and help you!

That would be starting again, if that needs to happen then you might aswell import them into iTunes from scratch, not WMP.

You should be able to add folder to library. Somewhere in the iTunes preferences is an option to copy media to the iTunes library completely, rather than just referencing the existing location of the music. You will need to tick that option before trying again.
When I'm in front of a PC again tomorrow ill double check the setting and post back here (on my iPhone at the moment).

Sara_H did you sort it?
You need to copy the music files over to your computer first, then run the import folder option so it knows they exist. easy enough to do, just yell if you need some more assistance.

No! My brother in law had a go the other night - he's meant to be an itunes expert (self professed!) but he couldn't do it either!
I think it might me the case that I tried to copy them straight into itunes. Realising that I deleted them all and started again but couldn't work out where to put them. Windows 8 is a bit different to what I'm used to!
