My drive is broken and I would like to use someones laptop computer and use their iTunes to import the CD and only put those songs from the CD's to my ipod without losing any of my previous songs or gaining any of their songs. Is this possible? if not what is the best thing to do, use a jump drive?

Yes, you can rip the songs into the laptop's iTunes (they will not be DRM-protected like songs purchased from the iTunes store, so they will work on any computer and any iPod). To transfer them, you'll need to dig into the laptop's iTunes music folder and find the folder that contains the ripped CD. Transfer that folder to either a USB flash drive, your iPod (don't download the songs through iTunes, just drag-and-drop the folder into your iPod as if it was a USB flash drive), or straight to your computer using an ethernet crossover cable to set up a peer-to-peer network (for the sake of simplicity, make sure to shut off any third-party firewalls on both computers during the transfer process, and restart them after you're done, as some settings will prevent any peer-to-peer networking). If you use your iPod as the transfer device, you might need to reload your music library into the iPod, but all that it should involve is a little wasted time vs. using a flash drive or peer-to-peer networking. The one upside is that you will definitely have the necessary hardware to transfer it via iPod where you might need to buy something else to use any other solution.

attempt cleansing the optical force heavily with a q-tip or cd purifier kit. this could sparkling the optical transistor that reads the advice. additionally sparkling the cd's or dvd's you attempt to apply. this could artwork. if no longer yet another determination is to apply an exterior optical force.
