 Copying CDs to PC from scratch - Bobby
I have a load of music on my PC all under the "music" folder.
Some was originally copied from CDs, some from systems like napster in the old days and some from youtube converters etc. Much of it is noticably poor quality.
I would like to tidy it up and to start with I am going to copy all my CDs to the PC again on the highest quality setting.

Previously I think I used itunes to copy these but if I remember rightly, I didn't use the default itune settings as, at one point, I think this meant the tracks could only be played on Apple machines? (might be wrong there). On checking my itunes settings, ,my preferences are set to import using mp3 encoder (if that makes sense).

So my question is, from scratch, what is the best way to copy actual CDs to my PC whilst copying across all the file names / tags and ideally the artwork? Ultimately the songs will be played on my iphone or maybe directly from a USB stick in my car.
