Are these correct? What do they mean?
1. Let’s put some songs in this CD. (When you burn a CD, the songs are in the cd? So when you say it, do you say 'Let's put some songs in this CD or 'Let's put some songs on this CD? Why?
2. Let’s put some songs on this CD.

To me, songs are always "on a CD".

Good discussion

Thanks.

1. 500hp on a truck. (I think this is right, but I'm not sure why you can't use #2 as well.)
2. 500hp in a truck.

2. 500hp in a truck.

I believe it's due to the fact that h.p. (horse power) is registered on a dial. As for 'in a truck', it sounds fine to my ears. I've heard it used in reference to inside the truck, (i.e., the engine).

Thanks.

What do these mean?
1. It is in this aisle.
2. It is on this aisle.

3. I don't want to go outside and get soaked in the rain. (If this is correct, how come? How can you get soaked 'in' the rain?)
4. I don't want to go outside and get soaked on the rain. (If this is incorrect, why?)
5. I don't want to go outside and get soaked by the rain.

6. I don't want to go outside and get soaked in (the) rain. ('the' is specific here right? I have to use it?)

Thanks.

What do these mean?
1. It is in this aisle. - in the aisle...shopping store aisle.
2. It is on this aisle.

3. I don't want to go outside and get soaked in the rain. (If this is correct, how come? How can you get soaked 'in' the rain?)
4. I don't want to go outside and get soaked on the rain. (If this is incorrect, why?)
5. I don't want to go outside and get soaked by the rain.

6. I don't want to go outside and get soaked in (the) rain. ('the' is specific here right? I have to use it?)

I think both in the rain & by the rain sound fine to me.

[Casiopea]

I agree with Natalie.

As for your other questions:

1. It is in this aisle.
2. It is on this aisle.

1. means, He is sitting inside this aisle.
2. means, He is sitting on this aisle.

3. How can you get soaked 'in' the rain?

The rain encompasses you, so you are in(side) the rain.

4. get soaked on the rain.

4. is incorrect. 'on' means, on top of. The rain is on you, falling on you; you are not falling on top of the rain.

5. get soaked by the rain.

'by' expresses the means or the tool.

6. (the) rain. ('the' is specific here right? I have to use it?)

get soaked in rain (medium = liquid e.g., paint)
get soaked in the rain (a thing e.g., the sun, the wind, ect.)
