Burn Audio CD

When I try to change the burn format under preferences, advanced, burning, i change it to what i want then hit ok. iTunes then freezes and becomes non-responsive.

Also I've tried using older versions of iTunes 6.0.5 - 7.2. It will go through the motions of burings, it sets it up, checks playlist, then does nothing. It doesnt burn. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and reset the computer. I've followd the support guide and did everything it said, but the problem still exists. I can burn cd with any other program just not iTunes. This is very frustrating.

  • Can no longer Burn Audio CD's

    I have a Compaq CQ50 142US laptop and have never had any problems burning audio CD's until about a week ago.  Now when I drag several tracks from my Windows Media Player library to the "Burn List" column and click the "Start Burning" button it shows that each track is being "Analyzed"- then ,"Being Burned to CD"- and after showing this for the last track in the list it says "Disc being Finalized". Now in the past after a few seconds the CD/DVD tray would automatically pop open and I would have a great sounding CD,but now I have to press the button on the tray and there is nothing on the disc. But when I put the same disc back in and try to burn again I get a message telling me to put in a BLANK disc. I contacted the online techs and was told several things that should correct the problem ,including performing a total wipe and restore which I did with no positive results so I took my problem to a local computer repair shop and they said that it appears that my burner is shot. They didn't have any there so I figured I would order one online. I may have failed to mention that I am by no means a computer whiz so when I tried finding the correct part to hopefully solve my problem I realized quickly that I was trying to speak a totally different language and would need some expert help. So here I am !....All I know for sure is that my laptop supposedly has the "LightScribe" feature and that when I go to "Device Manager" and click on, "DVD/CD-ROM Drives", it says that my laptop has a, "TSST corp CDDVDW TS-L633L ATA", with no mention of LightScribe. I went to several sites offering parts for laptops and found that there are dozens of burners with SOME of the letters and numbers as mine, but none that are exactly the same . There was, DVD +RW TS-L633 , DVD PLUS over MINUS RW Drive 485038-001 TS-L633 ,DVD RW CD RW Combo Drive SATA TS-L633, and one that caused a bit of concern since I am supposed to have "LightScribe" was the one marked, DVD RW Lightscribe Drive TS-L633 .
      Can someone please tell me which part number I need to order so I will be able to burn CDs as well as DVDs and will be able to use the Lightscribe feature on my Compaq CQ50-142US Notebook ?
     Thank you in advance for any and all help you can offer !

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

  • My burned audio CD/DVD from iTunes doesn't play on a CD/DVD audio player

    If I burn audio CD or DVD from my iTunes, I cannot play this music on an external player. Any recommendations? Thanks

    Hi I just burned an MP3 CD straight from iTunes, and it doesn't play on any MP3 CD player I've tried it on (car MP3 deck, DVD player that plays audio CDs, and MP3s). Audio CDs burned from iTunes work fine though.
    I've read somewhere, that when burning MP3 CDs from iTunes, iTunes burns it with Apples standard format, rather than CD players standard format of ISO 9660. And that is the reason why burned MP3 CDs from iTunes only plays on a Mac.
    A work around I've done was select all the songs from my list duplicate them in another folder, and then reconvert them in MP3s (so that I don't have to search all over the place for each MP3 file). I then burned these MP3s onto a CD-R using toast's MP3 CD format. And it works on all my MP3 CD players. However, in doing this process, I've lost all the tags for each MP3. The only thing that comes up in the display is the name of the song. Artist, Album, etc... don't show up anymore.
    Is there a way of burning an MP3 CD that will play on all MP3 enabled players, while keeping all ID Tags intact, in iTunes?
    Thanks.

  • Can't burn audio CD with new iTunes 7.0.1.8

    I installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 and now I cannot burn audio CDs. I can only burn data CDs. When I try to change preferences under "edit" "preferences" "advanced" "burning" to audio there is not way to save the change. In other words, there is no "ok" button. It reverts back to data CD and the button on the bottom right remains "burn data disc". Any suggestions?

    I'm having troubles, too. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
    1) How do I manually delete my podcasts now that they don't show up in my library any longer?
    2) Also, none of my non-music items are showing up anywhere in my library as they are not music. Items like books on CD that I downloaded and are genres for audiobooks but the system doesn't consider them audiobooks. Please help!
    Thanks.

    iTunes will not burn audio DVDs, only CDs (since iTunes 10.4 iTunes won't even use DVDs for backups). If you wish to burn an audio DVD, you will need to use third-party software. I'm not aware of any current software for Mac that can burn an audio DVD, but there might still be something available.

  • Burn Audio CD and Time Stretching audio - software on the iMac?

    I have a new iMac 24 running OSX 10.4.9 and had two questions:
    1) Is there software on the iMac for buring an Audio CD? Created a song and I am trying to figure this one out.
    2) Is Garageband able to time-stretch a song? I need to edit some performance songs that need to end at a specific time. I use Sonar on my PC to do this but wondered if Garageband or another utility on my iMac could handle this.
    Thanks!

    1) iTunes will do that (not GB). Just create a playlist and click "Burn Audio CD". (That's the default setting.)
    2) GarageBand can do that, but you'll have to play around a lot to achieve it. I'd recommend an audio editor like Audacity or SoundStudio - there you can change the tempo of a song (without affecting the pitch), and it will tell you immediately how long the result will be.

  • Can't Burn Audio, MP3's skip

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to Itunes 7 and I can't burn audio cd's. My CD-R is listed as useable and I've used all of the troubleshooting options I could find to no avail. Anyone having this problem.......and what was your solution if fixed.
    Also, it will burn MP3 CD's but there are dropouts on all the tunes. It does this in a variety of players so it is definitely a problem with Itunes.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
    Frank

    I feel your frustration. I am having the same problem and we are not alone either. The itune 7 upgrade has somehow "messed up" my previous burning ability. My burner is recognized but the software is absent. There is no way to back up my library to reinstall and I've read the "reinstall" technique is a sporadic fix.

  • Problem with burning audio CD's in iTunes 10.x.x

    Just had a situation where I had to burn three sets of CD's, each with similar (but not exactly the same) audio tracks.  I labeled the discs CD_01, CD_02 and CD_03.  The files are recorded .mp3 music tracks.  I was sure that each playlist I created for each CD in iTunes contained the correct cuts, though after they were burned as music CD's, the Mac Pro computer and iTunes seemed to get confused about which CD # and playlist was loaded.  iTunes apparently did not burn the correct playlist that was selected. 
    I re-burned the discs and when I thought they were finally right, we tested the master discs on our car stereo, and we could see all the track information fine and that the CD disc numbers were correct.  However, when we made duplicates of those master files, once again the computer and iTunes again appeared to be confused!  The disc master that had been confirmed to be CD_02 was now coming up as CD_01!!   And when I loaded the discs into a different computer with iTunes 11, none of the track information that was once visible could be seen!  The disc was called "Audio CD" and each track was reduced to just a number.   Now my fear is that I have sent out discs with all incorrect versions on them ! 
    Has anyone else had issues similar to these when burning audio CD's?
    Thanks!

    I also seem to have problems burning with the new iTunes 7. I thought it was neat I could backup my whole collection and that worked fine. But just burning an audio CD seems to be a problem. I've successfully burned one and this was accomplished by deleting one song from the playlist. I'm not trying to burn multiple CD's from a long playlist.
    iTunes.
    1. Checks media Ok .
    2. The message says it's initailizing the disk.
    3. The first song starts to burn and it stays there showing NO progress. It never burns.
    What I've tried also is lowering the burning speed, unchecking and rechecking boxes in the burning preferences (like including text). I've used different media.
    Seems to be a bug.

  • Burning audio over multiple discs - BUT NO TRACK INFO!

    This problem has been occurring for so long I can't believe I've waited this long to vent.
    I went to burn a playlist to audio CD that would need to span three (3) discs. After the 3rd disc burns, I check discs 1 and 2 and neither have ANY track info. Just Track 1, Track 2, ... This does me no good. The track info only burns for the last disc in sequence. This is a repeatable problem and is so terribly annoying that it makes me wish there was a good viable alternative to iTunes.
    Please help if you know any way to prevent this from happening.

    Swank, you will have to edit this information in yourself on the secondary computer. This link explains why burned audio CD's don't have track information on another computer.

  • Burning Audio from iTunes video albums

    can you just burn audio cds from videos purchased from itunes? i recently purchased the U2 and Mary J. Blige version of One and wanted to add the audio to a mix cd.

  • Drive Stopped Burning Audio Discs

    My Disc drive (G5 3 years old) seems to have stopped burning Audio discs using Toast. It seems to be doing data discs ok, but it appears domestic and computer players will now no longer accept my audio discs (Even both my Macs). Its always worked fine in the past and nothing has really changed to my system. Is this the sign of an ageing drive and do I therefore need a replacement? Is there anything I can do? I have tried burning different speed settings.
    Thanks folks

    If the G5 is also having trouble reading the discs it sounds as if the drive is producing really bad burns. Having either the cd or dvd side of things stop working properly is a classic sign of a drive on its way out. The drive begins to produce burns with much higher error rates, and more serious kinds of errors, than usual. All drives produce errors with each burn, but it's the kind of error and intensity of the error that matters. Drives have built in error correction circuitry that can handle the most common error type as long as they are below a certain level. Older drives often begin to either produce much higher error rates that the reading drive can't compensate for, or produce a non-correctible type of error. To make matters worse, the number of errors depends not only on the drive, but the relationship between the drive and disc being used. Each drive has firmware written to tell the drive how to write to different brands of media. Apple rarely updates the firmware on their drives, so after a few years the drive has to guess the writing strategy for each disc and this too can lead to high error rates. And to confuse things even further, companies that sell discs rarely make them, but buy them from oem manufacturers. So one batch of say TKDs may be Optidisc and another CMC and you have no way of knowing by just looking at the disc- you are thinking you are using the same discs but aren't.
    So one or more of these factors is giving you burns so bad that the drive the disc was burned on is having trouble reading it, and that's a very bad sign. I would suggest from my experience with many drives that a drive behaving as yours is - one that is 3 years old - should be replaced. A new drive will only run you about $40, it will have new firmware allowing it to work with current discs, and should be faster also.
    If you have access to a pc there are actually a number of programs that will allow you to test the discs and see what type and how many errors the burn has produced (I find this one of the few redeeming values of PC's). These programs are invaluable in situations like yours, and as I said, from my experience, the programs usually indicate with your symptoms very high error levels or errors that cannot be corrected.

  • Itunes won't burn audio cd

    itunes asked me to update so here i am version 10.6.3.25 i'll
    be reluctant to upgrade in the future... IF i can resolve this error!!
    it now fails to burn audio cd's. previous version had no problem.
    before anyone says anything about my cd burner... since the upgrade
    i've used nero to burn itune files to an audio cd just fine. it's
    NOT the burner. also after the upgrade itunes imported a prerecorded cd
    with no problem.
    now whenever i select "burn playlist to disc" itunes status appears  "preparing disc"
    then error popup  comes up "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occured (-3)"
    i also tried burning WITHOUT "Include CD text"
    i could use nero but prefer itunes for burning cd's... can anyone help?

    I have a number of audio files that I created myself using garage band.  These were converted by Quicktime to .mov audio files and loaded into my iTunes library.  Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I was able to burn audio cds from playlists containing these audio files with absolutely no problems.
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) my software update told me that I also needed to update my iTunes.  What a mistake that was!
    Now, when I select a playlist and tell it to burn an audio cd, it asks me to insert a blank disc.  Then it looks like it's starting to prepare the disk image - at least for a couple seconds.  Then it just quits and goes back to the state it was in before I attempted the burn.  The cd is still inside the drive and the only way I can eject it is to quit iTunes.
    I might add that, since all these files are my own original creations, none of them are protected in any way, so there is no reason for iTunes not to allow them to be burned on as many cds that I want.
    I know my disc burner is working because I am able to burn audio disks using the 3rd party software called "Burn."
    The audio files are also OK, because I can play them in both iTunes and with Quicktime.
    I really hope someone has an answer for this.  I need to burn a lot of CDs.  My church choir members use them to practice their singing parts.  The "Burn" application I am now forced to use works, but it is very awkward to use.  I wish I had never "upgraded" my system.  I GUESS IT REALLY WAS A DOWNGRADE!
    Help!!!
