Overview
You will import the mp3 files into the iPod using iTunes. First, you will create a temporary playlist on the iPod. Then you will copy the files from the CD into this playlist. Next, you will sort the playlist into proper order and create a new, permanent playlist. Finally, you will clean up and delete the temporary playlist.

Step 2: Copy files from the CDROM to the temporary iPod playlist
Next we will import the mp3 files from the CD-ROM into the iPod playlist we created.

After you do this, iTunes will import the mp3 files into the playlist and the iPod. You can watch its progress in the song information panel. Once complete you will have all the files within the temporary playlist.
Step 3: Create the final playlist after sorting the temporary playlist
Next we will create our final playlist. We do this by sorting our temporary playlist, selecting all the items in it, and then choosing the 'New Playlist From Selection' from the File menu. (note: this step is necessary due to a bug in iTunes. Newly created playlists do not seem to remember their sort order)
