Answer 1

You need iTunes. First make itunes your default media player by:
start>set program access and defaults>customclick on the arrow on the right side of custom. Scroll down to default media and choose itunes. Restart your computer.
Once you have that, insert your CD and a screen should pop up asking you if you want itunes to find the information. I have homemade CD's so I skip that. and then it will ask you if you want to copy the cd to your library. click "yes". After it's loaded on, you can drag them to your playlists.
In Itunes, you can make your own files and playlists within the files. You cannot drag music to the files, you need to have a playlist within the file (a mistake I made) make sense!

All this converting business-Sheesh!!, it's so much easier to follow this procedure than to do all that other stuff. Lewis M (your first answer) has a step by step also.

Importing Music From Your Audio CDs Into iTunes
Follow these instructions to get music from your CDs into your computer.
To import music from an audio CD into iTunes:
1 Insert a CD into your computer and open iTunes.
If you have an Internet connection, iTunes gets the names of the songs on the CD from
the Internet and lists them in the window.
If you are connected to the Internet and iTunes doesn’t get the names automatically, choose
Advanced > Get CD Track Names.
If you don’t have an Internet connection, you can enter the names of the songs on the
CD manually. For more information, see “Entering Names of Songs and Other Details”
on page 17.
With song information entered, you can browse for songs in iTunes or on iPod nano by
title, artist, album, and more.
2 Click to remove the checkmarks next to any songs you don’t want to import from
the CD.
3 Click the Import CD button. The display area at the top of the iTunes window shows
how much time it will take to import each song.
By default, iTunes plays songs as they are imported. If you’re importing a lot of songs,
you might want to stop the songs from playing to improve performance.
Import CD button
4 To eject the CD, click the Eject button.
5 Repeat these steps for any other CDs with songs you want to import.

Answer 3

Your Ipod came with a software called 'Itunes". you can use that to copy songs from a CD to mp3 format and copy it into your player.

Or you can use Windows Media Player to RIP music to mp3 format and then copy it to your Nano.

or you can use Audio grabber. Convert CD to Mp3 and copy them on to NANO.
