Audio CD burning error- I opted for importing songs into iTunes as MP3

Hi,
Before I started importing songs into iTunes, I chose int eh iTunes preferences to import all songs as MP3, as I wanted the option of being able to burn CDs to play on my car MP3 player.
When I tried to burn a CD, I got an error message that these songs could not be burnt onto the CD. This had the option where I could see all the errors and the list was of all the songs that I was trying to burn.
BTW, I created a new playlist, dragged the required songs to this playlist from the library and pressed the burn disc option.
What am I doing wrong? Could it be that the drive is faulty?

First of all, how long is the total time of all songs? If it is more than 80 minutes, you can't record to the CD as an audio CD. If that is the case, and you say you have an MP3 cd player in your car... you might want to try burning to the disc as an MP3 CD. Go to iTunes preferences, then click "Advanced," then "Burning" and you'll see an option for "MP3 CD." Click that, and then when you burn the disc, you can put as many songs as will fit onto the disc.
Also, rewritable CDs aren't any better... as a matter of fact, a lot of audio CD players can't read them. A regular CD-R should be fine, even one rated at 40x speed.

    Keep getting "unknown error (-39)" trying to import CD into itunes?

    Something was wrong with the iTunes library. I pointed iTunes to a different library, then pointed it back, and everything was fine.

  • Lockup when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1

    Have anyone experienced a lockup in Windows when playing or importing songs into iTunes 7.6.1? Not sure if this is a problem of the new version or something I need to diagnose with my PC. I know alot you guys probably have MACs so I would appreciate any feedback you might be able to lend. Thanks in advance!!!

    UPDATE: When all else fails reinstall everything! (without offending PC users, this is an accepted practice around here for pc software issues.....sorry). Anyway, trashing the old Spin DR and Toast Titanium and reinstalling seemed to get me going again. Sorry to bother everyone.

  • Can't import songs into itunes library...

    For some reason it isn't working. I took a couple of songs off my ipod via ephpod and i tried opening them using the import function in itunes. I open it, but the songs aren't added into the library at all. Maybe it might be the file format? Anyone have anyway to convert the songs into the accepted format?

    Yep,
    I have been having the exact same problem now for over a year. First, it was like six hundred songs--wouldnt play on my ipod and then wouldnt add into my itunes library. It happened to correspond with an update of itunes and the ipod firmware. It has only gotten worse and now I am in fear of updating anything further. I have been looking for answers to this problem for a long time, if you happen to get an answer that works would you let me know about it too?
    Thanks!

  • Import song into iTunes after purchasing with Pepsi Stuff points

    I purchased a song using my Pepsi Stuff points on amazon.com. It downloaded fine, but I can't get iTunes to import it into my library. I tried emailing Amazon and all of the solutions I received still don't work. I was trying to figure out how to contact Apple, but the email support forms all ask for my order number, which I don't have since I didn't purchase the song through iTunes. Has anyone else done this and had the same problem? Please help!

    This is an issue... but I think it is an Amazon issue. I too got Pepsi downloads, the songs download fine, butI am not able to import, the auto import doesnt seem to funtion and on top of that, you cannot even play the song in Media Player. Good thing I didnt purchase the music!
    If anyone can think of what I am doing wrong or how to fix it, that would be greatly appreciated!!!!

  • I have a flash drive with 6GB of music.  How to import songs into iTunes?

    Foolish me, I was under the absurd impression that Apple, the company that brags non-stop about the functionality and user-friendliness of its software, would allow you to simply drag and drop music files into the iTunes window.
    Oh, how stupid was I.
    Drag-and-drop into iTunes? NONSENSE!!!!! That would be far too simple!
    Like literally everything involving iTunes, what should be an exceedingly simple process is far more complicated.
    So, how the heck do I get these 300+ songs in WMA format from my flash drive into iTunes?

    The problem is actually that you are trying to import WMA files into the Mac version of iTunes. WMA files can only be imported (and subsequently converted to AAC) in the Windows version of iTunes. You also have to have a version of Windows Media Player 9 or higher on the PC.
    Just an idea to throw out there. If you have access to a PC, import the songs into Windows Media Player, convert the tracks to MP3, put those on your flash drive and import to your mac.
    Hope this helps.

  • My imported songs into itunes match are not being uploaded but they are giving error messages

    So when I am adding songs to my itunes library I am having issues with these songs being uploaded.  I called apple support last time and they fixed the issue with me but it's started all over again.  These songs have the little cloud with an exclamation point beside them and they say an error has occurred when uploading when i click on them.  I have turned itunes match on and off and that didn't resolve the issue.  Any ideas?

    When you have that alert icon, generally that means iTunes can't find the original file. What happens if you do a Get Info on the track?

  • How to import songs into iTunes?

    I had started to add the contents of my external hard drive to itunes a process which for some reason got interrupted. I want to import the remaining contents but cannot figure out how to do so without duplicating what I have already done as I cannot seem to "select" the files using either the "add file" or "add folder" applications. Can anyone tell me how I can add the remaining contents without having to duplicate and then remove please?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for this. The problem is that I cannot select more than one item using either files or folders. Bit daunted by the prospect of having to do from Iggy Pop to Zappa album by album. I would have thought I could either just tick a no box answer to the question "Do you want to add duplicate items?" and it would just sort it for me, like in Outlook, OR set the application running from Iggy Pop and it would automatically copy over everything as far as Zappa. Are my expectations just too high? (Thanks for the pointer re subject line - sorry, first post on here).

  • Can't import songs into itunes playlist folders from itunes music folder

    Ive got to be an idiot. ive had my ipod for years and ive yet to figure this out:
    how do i put music into my playlist folders? The only playlists ive been able to successfully create and use are the ones ON my ipod. but that requires me to plug in my ipod every time i want to hear music at home.
    I've created the playlist folders. They are blue folders, found under the playlists tab on itunes. I select music from the music sections, and drag to the folder, but all i ever get is the Circle and line "No" symbol, i never get a plus sign. Ive ever tried popping the playlist folder into a new window and dragging from one window to the other, and its doesn't work. its there some ridiculous safety feature of iTunes that i need to turn off to make playlists or? I can't imagine that something would be this confusing, but i just don't get it.

    Welcome to AD!
    Sounds like you are trying to drag single music files into a playlist folder.
    You can only drag a pre-existing playlist into a playlist folder.

  • Import Files into iTunes: Why not mp3?

    I created a simple workflow and saved it as a Finder plug-in. Two questions:
    1) Anyone know why iTunes allows (under +Add to Library+) the import of mp3 files, but when creating an Automator workflow using the +Import Files into iTunes+, the mp3 option is not supported. In other words, you have to use a different Automator function like +Add Songs to Playlist+. This works too, but it takes a long time because iTunes has to convert each file to AAC. The +Add to Library+ function in iTunes is wicked fast, and I don't care what format the files are in.
    2) After creating a Finder plug-in and wanting to delete it, where does it live? I can't find it. Spotlight can't find it. I just want to remove it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, red. It seems that +Import Audio Files+ supports mp3, but the description on the +Import Files into iTunes+ doesn't specifically include mp3. I suppose a quick test will reveal. The original reason for the question is that the Automator workflow seems to force a conversion of each mp3 file -- even when choosing the mp3 option in +Import Audio Files+ -- which obviously slows down the process.
    When from iTunes I choose Add to Library, navigate to the target folder and click OK, iTunes completes the 80-or-so files in no time.
    Thanks for the tip on where to find the plug-in. I deleted it. The Automator desktop apps seem to work better.

    Hi Grigsby9,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. This error usually appears when your iTunes Media folder location is incorrectly configured in your iTunes Advanced preferences. Let’s check these preferences to makes sure that iTunes is point to a folder that exists:

    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    2. Click the Advanced pane.

  • Can't import CD into ITunes - Windows 7 error

    Tried to import CD into Itunes on VAIO laptop, using Windows 7. Get the following message "Itunes has stopped working. Windows is looking for a solution. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Have no problem importing on another computer using Windows 2000. Very frustrating. Any suggestions?

    First we should check the precise version number of your iTunes. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
    Do you have a version 10.1.0.54 ? If so, upgrade to a higher version as per the following document:

  • Cannot import CDs into iTunes, disc is corrupted and unreadable error.

    Cannot import CDs into iTunes, keep getting disc is corrupted and unreadable error. Advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I downloaded the program and ran it, got to the point where it says I have errors that need to be fixed... but it appears I have to pay for the rest of the program to actually repair these errors. Is this incorrect?
    If I do have to pay, then I'd like to look for an alternative... the program is $40; of course, that's cheaper than buying a new iPod, but I want to avoid that too.
