Adding your songs to iTunes is a simple matter of dragging the song files from the directory into which you save them into the iTunes main window. Make sure that iTunes is in list view and click the Date Added column header. This will make your most newly imported songs jump to the top of the list (you may need to click the date added column header twice).
Since the songs you just imported are in raw WAV or AIFF format, they will be rather large. These are uncompressed formats and on average are about five times larger than MP3. This means that you will be able to fit far fewer of your songs on your iPod or other music player.
To remedy this, select all the newly imported songs, then right-click on one of the selected song files to bring up the contextual menu. Choose Create MP3 Version and iTunes will diligently convert the selected songs. If you don't click anywhere either during or after the conversions, the WAV or AIFF files will still be selected so you can hit the delete key on your keyboard to remove them, leaving the converted MP3 files.
An even better option is to convert the songs to AAC format rather than MP3. AAC creates a slightly better file quality with a slightly smaller file size than MP3. Contrary to popular belief, AAC is an open format that will not stop working anytime in the future. To make iTunes convert to AAC format, however, you must go to the General tab in iTunes preferences, click on the Import Settings button and choose AAC encoder if it is not already selected.
