This is exactly why I create a folder on my desktop for music, and make sure that everything I rip or download goes there in one form or another. I don't know how people operate not knowing where the actual file is located on their computer - just trusting the music library on whatever software they're using.
Do you have the files in your music library yet? If not, find the folder where those files are stored on your computer, and click and drag the ones you want into your iTunes Library. Simple as that. If they are mp3, AAC, WAV, or any other common format, they will work just fine.
That's not always the case. If the iPod has disk mode enabled, that will not work. Also, iPods set themselves up to automatically update on an authorized (original) computer, and will not automatically update if connected to another computer. If your iPod is not updating upon connection you can manually update it by going to File -> Update iPod.
The kind of computer does not matter. Upon installation, the iPod is formatted for either Mac or Windows. The only time this should be relevant is if somebody tried to connect from one type to the other - in which case it's the same as trying to take a floppy disk from one to the other - it won't work unless it's reformatted (don't do this.)
If you're talking about mp3s on CD that you want on your iPod (data CD) you have to put those files on your hard drive first - just click and drag to whatever folder you want, then click and drag from that folder to iTunes. If it's a regular audio CD - just rip the CD through iTunes.
You sir, are wasting CDs bigtime. If the file is on your computer somewhere, you just need to locate it and click and drag it. There is no need to burn a CD to get a song into iTunes.
