Then they are MP3 discs - the fact that they're on a DVD doesn't make
them DVD audio files.

You didn't spell out what manner of importing you did before, and you
didn't actually describe what happens when you try and add files to
either your computer or iPod with iTunes, and I don't know what you
mean when you say you try organizing things in a different way.

So iTunes does recognize the media - so what's the problem?

Try and describe what keypunches or mouseclicks you do, and what you
see on the screen. By using general or vague language (organize or
download) it's hard to determine what exactly is your problem or even
if you know what you're doing. For instance, above you said you
"download", as if to say that you actually transferred files from your
disk to your computer, though it sounds likely that your files never
actually were transferred, and that you just had iTunes recognize them
- therefore, when you took your DVD out of the computer, your PC had no
media to play.

Your files already are on audio MP3.
