Can no longer burn CDs to play in my car

I'm not a huge iTunes user, so it's been a while since I downloaded some new songs.
What I'm finding is that the songs I've downloaded and burned to a CD will not play on my car stereo. I'm willing to pay the .30 extra for each song, but I can't even find out how to do so, or even find anything about iTunes plus in the iTunes store!
I DID, however get a message asking me if I wanted to pay the extra .30 for some songs I downloaded long ago!
What I want is to be able to play the last 11 downloads in my car. I'm willing to pay, but can't find out how.
Any suggestions?

You have always been able to burn even copy protected tracks to an Audio CD. That hasn't changed. All tracks sold on the iTunes Store now are DRM free. Track prices now range form .69 to 1.29 but the price is unrelated to copy protection.
You may still be using the same brand/type of discs but are you still burning in the same format? When you select the playlist that you want to burn to a CD, then press "Burn CD", you get a dialog box that offers you options. Be sure you have "Audio CD" selected.
If, what you're really trying to do is burn an MP3 cd, you'd first need to make sure that all of the tracks in the playlist are mp3s. If not, you'd need to convert them. You'd need to make sure that your import settings were set to mp3 by going into Preferences>General and pressing the Import Options button and selecting the desired mp3 settings. Then, you select the tracks you want to convert, and from the Advanced menu, choose Create mp3 version. Note: this creates a new mp3 track. It doesn't change the existing track. And, it doesn't work on protected tracks. Protected tracks, as noted above, can be burned to an Audio CD which you can then use as you would any other Audio CD.
Best of luck.

Upgraded to v. 6.0.1, can no longer burn CDs. Details below. Please help!

Like many other users, I can no longer burn CDs since my recent upgrade to version 6.0.1. I was able to burn CDs with no problems before this upgrade, but now when I click "Burn Disc", iTunes freezes with no error message. I have to exit out using Ctrl-Alt-Del, as iTunes is not responding.

The answer is in the diagnostic! Go to the Toshiba site (I've been so nice and found the link for you!)

Try updating your drives firmware. Click 'Firware Updates' on the right hand side of this page, then follow the instructions and download the update, then install. See if that helps. Its worth updating the firmware anyway :P

I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists. The format shows up as m4a - which never used to happen. Can you help? Thanks.

I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists. The songs are now formatted as m4a, which might be making them unreadable by my CDs, although this never used to happen before. Can you help? Thanks very much.

After you select Burn, you need to select AudioCD in the pop-up window.

I can no longer burn CDs - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try slower speed, try another make of disc" Still doesn't work

I can no longer burn CDs - "may be incompatible with this disc burner, try a slower speed, try another make of disc" Tried that, still doesn't work.

Try a free burning utility which allows you to turn off the laser for test burning (so you don't waste media). Try burning a test CD outside of iTunes. If it works it's iTunes. If it doesn't work it could be computer software or hardware but then we know how to proceed.

Can no longer burn cds or re-install itunes

For some reason I can no longer burn a cd from Itunes. When I try to re-install itunes i get this message: 1628 failed to complete installation. I also get this message everytime Itunes starts : Warning!
The registry settings used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing . This can be a result of installing other cd burning software. Please re-install itunes.
I am able however to import with no problems.

Can no longer burn cds that will play in my car's cd player

Yesterday I tried to burn a replacement CD for one that got damaged. The disc was one I created in Itunes a couple of years ago. It won't play in either my sound system's cd player or my car's. The only thing that has changed is the version of Itunes (current) and my OS which is now 10.6.8. I also bought an album from Wofgang's Vault, and got identical results. I tried to burn in both Itunes and straight to the CD burner. I tried audio format vs MP3. I tried a windows machine with a different CD burner, the same machine actually that I was burning Itunes discs on originally. Same results. Is this a Rights Management issue? Has something changed recently in this regard? How do I make CD's that I can play in the car?
Thanks for your help

Get a different band of CD-R.

Can no longer burn cds?

I recently upgraded Itunes and now it says i can't burn cds from my Itunes store purchases.
Why is this please? Does this mean that I can no longer keep copies of my Itunes music on CDs to use on another system?
I would appreciate some enlightenment for this please.

Can no longer burn CDs in iTunes

I have successfully been burning CDs in iTunes until recently. I can now no longer burn an audio CD. The CDs I am using are the same as before (CD-R, same make etc) and I am trying to burn albums purchased through iTunes. No error message comes up, it just doesn't burn. I have the latest version of iTunes loaded but can't remember when I loaded this. Perhaps my problems have occurred since then? Can anyone help?

Correction... Running OS 10.6.7

HELP! I updated my software and can no longer burn cds using iTunes

I followed all of the troubleshooting steps for not being able to burn a cd. I was able to burn cds with other cd burning programs installed on my pc, but itunes was the only program that would not burn the cd correctly. itunes would go through the entire process of burning: check media, check playlist, burn cd, finish burning cd. itunes would even ask me if I wanted to import the new cd into my playlist after it finished "burning" my cd but there was never anything on the cd. I also tried playing the cd using other programs and in other equipment but it never worked. I updated my software recently and I thought I could try to go back to an older version because I never had this problem before. However, when I uninstalled the newer version and tried to reinstall an older version of itunes, the older version of itunes refused to open because my music library was apparently created by the newer version of itunes. I don't know what to do to be able to burn cds again. At this point, I would much rather use another cd burning program but itunes is the only program that will burn the songs that I've purchased from itunes onto a cd.

HT1529 The latest version of iTunes has completely changed my ability to access my iTunes. I can no longer burn a CD that will play on anything other than another computer.

The latest version of iTunes has completely changed the format and also why will it not allow me to burn a CD compatible with other devices?

I'm using iTunes 11.1.1 on a Mac mini running OS 10.7.5 and I burn CDs which play in this machine's external optical drive, my car, and the Pioneer audio CD players downstairs. I typically use Verbatim recordble CDs. After selecting the playlist I want to burn, I make sure that "Audio CD" is selected - this has always been the default for me. If this isn't working for you, I don't know what to say - but I'd suspect the drive you're using to burn CDs is getting wonky.
Good luck

I can no longer burn a CD that will play in my vehicle

Last week I had no problem compiling a playlist and burning it to CD. This week Itunes keeps burning the CD version that only allows song transfers to another computer. I have no other options. I downloaded the new version hoping it would help and it didn't. I lost most of my CD's to Katrina but luckily (or so I thought) I had most of my favorite songs in Itune. Now my whole music collection is being held hostage! Help!

Can No Longer Burn DVDs

I have a Lenovo G700 series laptop and have recently found that I can no longer burn DVDs. I can burn CDs and the drive can read DVDs & CDs.
I trawled the forums for any clue of what has gone askew including the registry fix, tried different media, different burning programs, files vs disc images and still no result.
I, and also a friend who works in IT suspect a hardware fault and, since still under warranty, contacted the support helpline who were quick to answer. went through all the options for diagnostics and came down the "hit the system with the One-Key-Recovery" option to reset it back to factory preset condition to see if that fixed it.
Problem........
I have spent a very long time getting this machine set up with my home studio software etc and have large amounts of data which beggers the question, do I want to go through all that and how do I back up all my data prior to that as the machine will be wiped with no DVD writer. I assured the guy on the phone that we we almost certain that it was the ODD hardware that had failed and could he send out a replacement?
Being still under warranty, I would have to return it to the service center where they would......... guess what, reset to factory preset prior to fitting the new hardware to ensure that the hardware was indeed faulty.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!
Catch 22
Why can they not just send out a replacement drive for me to fit myself?
Warranty runs out in September which is probably how long it will take me to zip and backup my data using CDs or for out a pile of cash on a USB HDD all for the price of a replacement drive.
Can someone please help?

Anyone know how I can get someone from Lenovo Customer Support to read & reply to this post? I'm not that sussed with forum methods.

Can no longer burn audio cd's -- urgent -- is iTunes update defective?

I'm a composer-- we're getting ready to record another cd and I desparately need help here!!
I can no longer burn an audio cd from a play list! It burns but not as an audio. I also looked on directions and I'm supposed to be able to do this.
These are my tunes that I wrote and uploaded into the library and then moved to a play list
When trying to figure out what happened, I noticed that itunes had been automatically updated to the most current version on my computer --
I was still on 10.3 which doesn't support it -- I've since downloaded the 10.3.9 (plus checked other required software that's supposed to be updatyed) and still cannot burn the cd's
Please help --

I won't pretend this is a welcome suggestion...but if worst comes to worst, you could consider purchasing Toast.

I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago. Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info. Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song. No Audio CD it seems to function OK. The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago. I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc. It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit. Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info. Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD. On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up. The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference. In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data. I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
Any Thoughts?

This may help. Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder. These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation. Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have. What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive) Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3 As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck. And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck. I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier. Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
Hope this helps ~rich
