You should be able to convert your CD to Mp3 files (also known as "ripping" audio files) in almost any music program (Windows Media Player must be version 10 or above. See Here). Since iTunes is the most popular free and easy music application to use, we recommend downloading it (if you don't already have it).

Download iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

Here's instructions for importing music as Mp3 in iTunes:

1. Open iTunes.

2. Open iTunes Preferences. 

     For Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
     For Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.

3. Click the General button. About halfway down the menu, you will see the "When you insert a CD:" option. Using pop-up menu, choose Mp3 encoding then click OK to save the settings.

4. Insert the music CD you wish to convert into MP3. Wait for your computer to recognize the disk.

5. Import the CD by selecting the "Import CD" button at the bottom right of the iTunes window when the CD is selected under devices (this should pop up automatically when inserting a CD). This will copy MP3 files of the CD to your iTunes Music Library.

6. That's it. Now you can drag the newly converted files out of iTunes onto your desktop for easy upload to the Wizard.

Tip: If you have already imported your music to your iTunes Library and it is not yet in MP3 format, you can right-click on any file or a number of files and select 'create mp3 version' If you do not see the 'import mp3' option do steps 1, 2, and 3 first.
