No need to wait for first track to finish importing.

Actually, there is no need to wait for the first track to finish importing. At least, the following worked up until at least iTunes 2.0 -- I don't have a CD on me right now to test it in the current version of iTunes.

1. As soon as you've started importing the songs from CD, go to your library. You should be able to find the song being imported (i.e. the first track on the CD) but its name will be greyed out.

2. However, that doesn't matter. You can still click on the name and hit play.

3. By the time iTunes finishes playing this first song, the second song will be available and it will just start playing that.

As noted in another comment, this is how the "Play while importing" feature works (it doesn't wait for the whole first track to finish importing before starting to play).

This is still true for MP3 files, however AAC files have to be imported completely before they will play.
