72MB playlist when burned creates 700MB CD?

All the times I've burned playlists to an audio CD, the MB are identical (e.g., 80MB playlist = 80MB audio CD). The last playlist I burned, however, to an audio CD came out to over 700MB.
Two questions:
1. What changed? I recently did burn some .mp3 CDs, and I definitely changed the toggle back to burn as an audio CD, and it said it was burning a CD. I also changed the import setting back to import as AAC encoder. Is there something else I also need to toggle?
2. Is this huge CD playable in a CD player? It is a gift, but I don't have a CD player to check. It has both .mp3 and AAC files on it.
Thanks much -- I'm clueless.

ITunes 10.6.3 keeps generating incomplete downloads AND it rearranges the order of the playlist when I burn a playlist to an mp3 cd

iTunes 10.6.3 keeps generating incomplete downloads AND it rearranges the order of the playlist when I burn a playlist to an mp3 cd.
I purchased an album on iTues from my MAC book Pro & the song downloads were incomplete. The song length shows correctly in the column, but they cut off between 1/4 & 1/2 way through the songs. Now, I dwonloaded it on my iPhone 4 through my itunes account after the purchase & the songs play fine. This happened with the very next song I purchased, as well.
I got around this issue, then created mp3 versions of all the songs, put them in their own playlist, then "Burned an mp3 disc." When it completed, the songs were in a different order.
Are there any fixes for either of these problems/bugs?

What's the maximum size a playlist can be when burning?

I always need to leave a few meg under 700 when burning a playlist to 700meg cd and was wondering if anybody knew the maximum a playlist can be to burn? Not sure if the media has anything to do with it. Would just be nice to be able to plan ahead since I make a lot of comps and sometimes need to cut a song at the last moment.

I'm making mp3 cds. Technically I'm using CD-R Audio discs (80min/700mb) as I have a home-audio cd burner and these discs are compatible with both. The problem is that I have tried to burn playlists that are close to 700mb but wouldn't burn as iTunes said it was too large for the disc, so I need to leave ~3-5mb free for it to burn. I guess it uses that space for the index/xml or other data. I was just wondering if anybody knew exactly, or very close to the maximum you can burn.

Hey Guys, I have a IMAC G5 and I just uploaded Ilife 08 to it, the problem is, when I create a DVD it sounds good until I burn it. About 1/4 of the way through it the sound stops.. What's going on with it? Is it the encoding proocess?? I'm stumped...

Hi
A. iMovie'08 to 11 are not the tools of choice if one aim to do a DVD as they all discard the quality of the picture by discarding every second line in it. NO way around this due to that it happens between Event's and Project's so as soon as it is being edited - Quality is lost.
B. I use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut
C. if iM'08 to 11 is a must - THEN DO NOT - Share to iDVD - BUT - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (or ev. Medium)
THEN DO - Save as a DiskImage and see that this plays OK and ALL SOUND
D. if added audio from iTunes - then instead in iTunes - Collect all needed Audio into a NEW PlayList then BURN this as an Audio-CD (.aiff - NOT .mp3 or other) - Then use the Files on this CD in Your Movie Project's (I do)
E. I only use .aiff audio - 48kHz 16-bit (miniDV tape Camera) or 44.1kHz Audio CD - NEVER .mp3 or .wma or other file format - ALL is converted first into .aiff - ALWAYS ! - I have very few problem with Audio in my projects in iMovie or FinalCut !

When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the playlist transfers over. All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist.

When I create a playlist and sync it to my iPhone not all of the songs on the playlist transfer over. All of the songs are there and are playable they just do not show up on the playlist. For example, in itunes on my computer a playlist has over 100 songs, but when I sync my phone, my iphone only shows 60 songs. I can go into my phone and add the missing songs to the playlist, but the next time I sync my phone the songs are gone again.

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

With the new updates for iTunes, I can no longer print a CD case playlist when I burn a CD. It prints in a jumbled mess. I have reinstalled, updated, run diagnostics on my NEW printer, I am out of ideas!

It appears to be a bug with the current build. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

Creating folders in playlists for burning to CD

Hi
Is it possible to create folders within a playlist for burning cd's with about 8 albums on in mp3 format so that it is easier to direct access a particular album on the disc rather than start at track 1 & keep skiping until you reach say the 5th album which will be about track 60 & so on & so on, I have no problems burning the files to disc but like ive explained it just shows as about 160 tracks but no individual folders for each album
many thanks
Kev the rev @ York

Thank you, Mr. Johnson. I appreciate your candor and your quick response.

Automatically create playlists when buying song collections

I remember that in previous versions there was a setting under Preferences/Store to the effect that when you bought an imix or another collections it would automatically create a playlist. Since this setting no longer appears in the prefs as of version 8, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a plist variable I could alter or add to re-enable this functionality.

Turning off the option - I doubt - will change the 'Purchases' list. I have it 'off' in my prefs and I still have all iTS purchases added to the 'Purchases' list.
From the iTunes Help menu and a search for "song collection": <You can set iTunes to automatically create playlists when you buy collections from the iTunes Store, such as iMixes, submitted by iTunes users; and iTunes Essentials, favorites chosen by an iTunes Store staff of experts.>

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD. For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

How can I see when I created a playlist?

I've been creating mixes via playlists in iTunes for years now, but I never thought of writing down the date of when I created them. Of course, iTunes is organizing them in alphabetical order, but I really want to get a good idea of when these lists were created.
So, anyone know if it's possible? If I have to go rooting around via the iTunes .xml or Terminal or something, so be it. I just need to know!!!! lol

When you consider the playlist to be final, right-click its name in the left-hand pane, and use one of the Export options. This creates a file with the date/time of creation. (I am talking about the date of the file itself, because as Chris notes, the date is not in the contents of the file).
Note that iTunes does not have the concept of "finalizing" or "locking down" a playlist. The list is always open, and can be changed (intentionally or unintentionally) at any time. The Export will at least preserve the listing at that moment in time. Also, if you are inclined, you can post the listing on one of the mixtape sites such as Art of the Mix or Zen Running Order, which creates a more permanent record and also may get kudos from your fellow mixtapers. ;-)

Playlist Shuffle When Burning

When burning Playlists to disc, the songs are being shuffled, reordered by iTunes. If there is a way around this problem please let me know. I'm running 64-bit Vista.

But the file's size it should be revelant if I want to burn an audio cd (not an mp3 or acc)
No, not really.
When iTunes (or another burning application) burns an Audio CD, all source files are converted 'on the fly' to the native format of an Audio CD (16 bit PCM), which has a fixed size per minute.
Wether it's a highly compressed format (mp3 or AAC) or an uncompressed format (WAV or AIFF), the play time of the file is the only relevant parameter.
When you insert an Audio CD in your Mac, OS X usually "sees" the files as AIFF audio files. Windows usually "sees" the files as WAV.
This has to do with AIFF being the default uncompressed audio format of Mac OS and WAV being the default uncompressed audio format of Windows.
The 80 minutes max., ed2345 mentioned, is true for a 700 MB disc.

Recording level is too low when burning CD from playlist

When burning a CD from playlist, the resulting CD has a lower recording level than in the original recordings. How can I adjust this?

It sounds like you are having a similar problem to the one I was having when I was downloading my cds to itunes. The whole album would download but some of the songs would be on a different thumbnail instead of in the same album. Although the albums had the "artist" listed already it would still go to a separate thumbnail. It took me a while to search and figure it out through trial and error but if you right click on the album and when the tab pops up you go to "get info" and select "yes" you want to "edit information for multiple items" you must input the "album artist" and it will automatically import it into the correct album it originally came from. Some of them you have to input the information manually through the "get info". Hope this helps!!!

Stop Itunes adding numeric prefix to song filename when burning playlist?

Hello, does anyone know how to get Itunes to stop automatically adding nummeric prefixes to the song filenames when burning a playlist? For example, if I have a playlist where the 3rd song is "Boom Boom Pow", Itunes will name this song "03 Boom Boom Pow.m4a" For various reasons I really don't want the number "03" added. I can't find how to make Itunes not do this? I just want the filename to be "Boom Boom Pow.m4a"
thanx

I am posting this question in the ITunes forum instead.

When burn playlist, the Cd songs are not in numerical order. How do I fix?

Sort on the track number (or any other column you want to sort on).

Why, when I enter an order of pieces on my iTune playlist, when I burn that list, the order changes?

Any more information? Is this how you are seeing it in iTunes, or on a different player? What kind of CD? Standard audio? MP3-CD?
