How to tranfer files to itunes?

Copying and pasting the files to the iTunes folder doesn't seem to work. The files won't stay in iTunes. How do I get them to permanently stay in the program so I can put them on my iPhone?

Open iTunes. Go to File, then to Add a folder to the library. Chose the music folder you'd like to add and.

I'd recommend using Spotify instead. I've tested both of them and Spotify wins on speed.
