53.1 min, 51.5 MB playlist will not fit on one audio CD?

I'm trying to backup an album I bought from iTunes, but I keep getting the error that reads, "The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD." The playlist is 53.1 minutes long and 51.5 MB in compressed size. The files are 128 kbps AAC. I've also tried a different playlist of 45.8 minutes and 43.7 MB and get the same error. I was originally using iTunes 7.3. I deleted that and switched to 7.2. I still get the same error. The dialog box gives me the option to put the playlist on multiple CD's, but that seems terribly wasteful to me. Besides, I suspect this is a bug or something. These albums ought to fit on a single CD. Has anyone else encountered this problem before and is there any way to fix it?

The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"

How do I resolve the message "The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD" I have tried everything, and this has just happened 2 days after my warranty expired. Any help much appreciated as I am not tech minded
Thanks

Firstly apologies for not providing more information. I am indeed trying to copy a playlist which I made and successfuly copied to a blank audio CD last week. Today I spent over one hour online looking for help and nothing that was suggested helped. I even tried copying an 18 min playlist (a meditation CD I use) and the same message came up ... a prompt asking me if it were ok to copy onto more than one CD - and even when I agreed to that, jsut to see what happened, the process stopped there (i.e. no copying was attempted by iTunes). I'd appreciate some insight. Thanks

Can't burn audio CD - songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD.

I have iTunes 6.0.3.5. runing on Windows XP SP2, fully patched.
I'm trying to write an Audio CD from iTunes, I used to be able to do this (before Christmas), but now can't. Even if I create a new playlist with just one track in it and try to write this track (whether an MP3 or M4P downloaded from iTunes store), it comes up with the message:
The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD. Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them? This will require more than one blank CD to complete.
Even if I select Audio CDs, it doesn't write them, it just comes up with the same message again.
I've tried this on my laptop too, same result, I completely re-installed my laptop (XP, everything) too....
I've tried it on my daughters PC and it * does * work ok (same version of iTunes)...
Any ideas?
Thanks

"The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD..."

I get this error message when trying to burn to a CD-R:
"The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD.
Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them?"
I'm trying to burn 17 songs. At the bottom of the playlist it tells me that those 17 songs take up 1 hour, 66.5 MB. If I have a 80 minute (1 hour, 20 minute) blank CD-R it should burn with no problems...shouldn't it? I've burned CD-Rs with iTunes on this computer before. I'm using iTunes 7.0.1.8.

No playlist too small for "this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"

What on earth is goin' on w/ iTunes ?! ( In my case it's 7.6.2 (9) )
After having a 91.MB playlist receive the “*The songs in this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"* for a 700 MB audio-CD burn, I searched around here and found this thread . . . granted it's for Windows, but other mentions dating back to Jan. seem to indicate the problems pretty universal.
Anyone know anything more on this ?

Can't burn Cds anymore!msg:"songs on playlist will not fit on one audio cd"

I recently updated my itunes library to 8--I believe--and since I haven't been able to burn any audio cds. All the settings are set correctly, the playlist size should fit on one cd, but it keeps telling me it won't fit on one cd. the cds are blank, I'm using memorex and have tried several different cds. Ugh. Techonology is the bain of my existence. . .thanks for the help!

Have you tried burning at 8x speed? Slower but that is what fixed burning issue for me.

Playlist will not fit on one audio CD :/

I recently installed the latest version of iTunes on a new PC and tried burning for the first time. I was trying to burn a playlist that has been burned before on another computer but kept getting the "playlist won't fit" message.
After systematically removing one song at a time and retrying it finally let me burn once the length was under 45 minutes :/
I tried with several different CDs, all of which I've used before without incident. I've tried changing burn preferences and speeds without success. I can only burn if I'm under 45 min'.
Clearly there is a problem... any help would be very welcome.
The diagnostic doesn't appear to offer any insight either

Songs in Playlist will not fit on CD

Every time I try to burn a cd I get the message:
"The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio Cd. Do you want to create multiple Audio CD's with this playlist spilt across them? This will require more than one blank cd to complete." Then I have the option of clicking Audio CDs or cancel. Nothing happens when I click Audio CDs.
This happened out of the blue and have not changed any settings. I have tried burning several playlists even one with just one song and still get the same message. So clearly these playlist do not really need more than one cd. I am using the same exact cds that I have successfully been burning with that are CD-R. I just updated to latest version of iTunes as well.

"the songs in this playlist will not fit" - only 63 minutes in playlist????

I'm trying to burn a 63 minute playlist onto an 80 minute CD.
I do this many, many times a week.
However, with this playlist [16 tunes ripped off CD and one purchased track from iTunes - never burnt to CD before] I get the "the songs in this playlist will not fit" error message.
If I remove a song from the playlist, I get the same error message.
iTunes is burning other / longer playlists just fine.
Any tips, please?
Thank you for your time!

Yes it will have a larger amount of data but it is
also a larger file.
Figure that 1 minute of 128bit rate is equal to about
1 meg - 1 minute at the 1411 (audio) bit rate is
about 10 meg.
So - 70 meg of mp3 is about 700 meg of audio (AIFF)
format.
MJ
Well, that would only be true if you were burning a DATA or an MP3 disk. All audio files are converted to CDA format (not AIFF) before burning to 16bit PCM @ 44.1KHZ sampling rate. This is an absolute, or they will not play in an audio CD player.
By the way, the reason that some people get a bit confused by the "700mb data or 80minutes of Audio" has a lot to do with how the disks are written:
Audio sectors use 2352 bytes per sector, while standard CD-ROM data uses 2048 (the rest is for error correction). You can put roughly 747MB of audio onto a disc that only holds 650MB of data (74 Min disk), or 804Mb on a 700Mb disk, hence the 80minutes @ 10meg per minute. The number of tracks (and hence track gaps @ 2sec each) will have a minor effect on total music playing time.
There IS, however, something seriously askew with iTunes and the interface to burning any kind of disk. I have seen the same problem a few times and most of the time, renaming the playlist (for whatever reason) has solved the problem. It has been well documented on this board that itunes cannot record at high speeds any longer, and my 100% success rate speed is a mere 2x on both CD's and DVD's.
I have also seen the capacity issue show up OUTSIDE of iTunes using FlashDrives. While the OS doesn't have a problem reading data from the drives, nor does it have difficulty in acertaining the capacity of the drives, it will not write anywhere close to the capacity of the drive. Currrently affecting all 3 systems here.

Unable to Burn CDs in iTunes for Windows: (Will not fit, but it should.)

I am attempting to fix an issue with a friend's iTunes for Windows. Although previously this computer using this media was able to burn audio CDs through iTunes, recently, an error has appeared before any burn. When loading the proper amount of time to fit on a CD, iTunes claims:
"The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD"
"Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them?"
"This will require more than one CD to complete."

Additionally, I copied the iTunes playlist to a new drive that was recently installed with Windows, and the same problem occurs when rebooting under that system.
Also, please note that this issue occured prior to updating to iTunes 7.
Any assistance anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated by both myself and my friend.
Thank you so much,

Hey,
Under warranty you'd be better then to call into phone support, if something has to be done with the notebook, they'll be able to set that up with you.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

I am unable to burn CDs with songs recently purchased from itunes. No problem before. When I try to burn a playlist with new songs, I get the error message that "songs will not it on 1 audio CD". If I remove all songs except the new one, it will burn.

I am unable to burn CD's with the last 4 songs I've purchased from the iTunes store. I can burn CD's from playlist using previously purchased songs with no problem. With a normal length playlist including 1 of the newly purchased songs, I get the message "songs will not fit on one CD". I can remove all but the new song and 1 other and the CD will burn. I have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and still have the problem.

I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

'Music synced to (my ipods name) from other itunes libraries will be removed and items will be synced from this itunes library' I have only ever used itunes on this PC and the 'Manually manage music and videos' is ticked but
that must be a default setting as I haven't ticked it.

Any chance the Mac mini and the Apple TV will be combined into one unit?

Any chance the Mac mini and the Apple TV will be combined into one unit?

No.
The Apple TV is the guts of an iPad without the screen or battery running a different build of the OS. Ie, its very cheap to make and runs an ARM processor (like all iDevices)
The Mac mini is 6x the price and is a full intel computer running the OS X.
Now, it could be that the Apple TV gets more powerful and its OS more diverse and "computer like" (apps + iCloud for example), but for now they're still coming from totally different directions.
They just happen to look alike
