Gendre Sébastien said:Personally, for import/export from/to device, I prefer a combo-box for switch from “My Music” to “Device” like on top left in this mockup: http://gitorious.org/gnome-design/gnome-design/blobs/raw/master/mockups/music/alt/music-aday.png
This combo-box can serve to switch between sources of music like “My Music”, "CD", "Phone or walkman", "LastFM", “Jamendo”, “Music shared by computer AAAA”, etc.

So you can just point GNOME Music to album folder you want to import to your local Music collection, and Music will handle it. Automatically copying, naming and structuring it into your ~/Music directory(just like Rhythmbox can). And don't forget desired structure setting.

Some of these might be good, but they seem a bit different from CD import, so probably need separate bugs.

@mschraal Is the design for device view described in description still relevant or it needs a new design?
