Burn iTunes audiobooks onto CD?

I can't send to find an answer to this question: can I purchase an audiobook on iTunes, download it to my computer & then burn to CD. I want to be able to listen to the audiobook when I'm driving in the car (obviously without listening to my iPod while driving)
Thanks
JBro

Yes, I'm using a CD from the same Maxell spindle that I'd already burned about 15 CDs from a week ago. (In fact, I've tried another one from the same spindle and gotten the same burn speed message.)

Burning iTunes playlists onto a DVD

I want to burn playlists from iTunes onto a DVD, primarily for backup purposes. But also, to give get them into another...PC...computer.
I have iDVD 5, running Panther (10.3.9)
I was told I could do this and it would work basically the same was as burning to a CD. Just “dragging” a playlist or playlists onto the DVD.
However, when I went to iDVD help menu, it said:
+You can also drag music files from the Finder to the menu or to the Audio well in the Settings pane, *but you can't drag playlists directly from the iTunes application.+*
What’s the story?
Thanks in advance

Ok, but
I was told you could use DVDs to backup virtually anything on your computer. Documents, photos and music.
iDVD would seem to be one thing....but a DVD quite another. So I think I'm starting to "get it."
For what I want to do, I would simply "drag" a playlist out of iTunes, onto the desktop, and from there drag said playlist onto the DVD. And I would have it. The tunes would then be able to be used as "backups" or to "play" on a DVD player, or to copy onto another computer...Mac or PC.
Actually, for my purposes, wouldn't I simply drag the playlist "from" iTunes onto the DVD? And skip the going to desktop process?
Am I right on this?
thanks again

How do I burn iTunes library onto DVD-RW? I'm a schmuck.

Tab: Advanced/Burn only says data - CD; Why can't I burn it as a Audio DVD. I checked help. I got Itunes 6, Sonic ain't working. Neither is Windows Media player. I don't get it. I created playlist, went back to main library, selected all, then back to playlist, and pasted, then burn; I don't know, I'm a schmuck. Nothing can work for me. Like I'm a 3 year old, step 1, 2, 3, how do I do this please? Ask me whatever ya want regarding this, to ensure this can even be done, but please, someone kindly help me? I'm using a (period) > "Staples" DVD-RW, says up to 4x, what am I doing wrong or am I that much of a *******? My email is [email protected] Thank you in advance. My iTunes library is: (367) songs, and 1.53GB. Take care.

Currently, you can not burn purchased videos to a "Playable" DVD. You CAN burn them to a Data DVD for backup, but there not playable.
If you look at the "Terms of service" agreement, it states in section 9 under Usage rules.....
"You shall be entitled to export, burn (if applicable) or copy Products solely for personal, noncommercial use. You shall not be entitled to burn Video Products."
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/service.html
I know, this does suck, I myself wish I could burn the videos I buy to a DVD to play on the TV. Its just currently Hollywood wants there content very well protected, and currently theres no way to burn it to a DVD and have its protection carry over onto the burned DVD.

Burning iTunes Library onto generic MP3 Player....How?

Not being able to afford the iPod 2nd Generation Nano, I purchased a 1st generation look-a-like MP3 player for my daughter. We purchase music and burn CDs using iTunes, however, I cannot figure out how to transfer the files to the MP3 player. Since it is not an authentic "iPOD" the Sync selection is not available. I have purchased tons of music through iTunes and feel I should be able to play it on any MP3 player I choose. Is there a way to do this? Please help!!!!

+I have purchased tons of music through iTunes and feel I should be able to play it on any MP3 player I choose.+
If the tracks you purchased are DRM-protected, then they are unusable on any non-Apple product (except for certain iTunes-enabled mobile phones).
+We purchase music and *burn CDs* using iTunes, however, I cannot figure out how to transfer the files to the MP3 player.+
Is it, ahem, possible to get songs from an *audio CD* to the player?
For future reference, since you plan to use your songs on both Apple and non-Apple products, please restrict your purchases to non-DRM tracks. That means either iTunes Plus, or MP3s from online stores such as amazon.com.

How do i burn my itunes library onto a cd so that it can be played in a car

I want to burn some of the songs within my itunes library onto a cd to give to my Aunt. I tried this once already and the songs would play on radio but only from one speaker. How do I burn my playlists onto cd and have it play correctly? (out of both speakers)

You can burn a cd for personal use, by making a playlist, then go to File>Burn Playlist
Choose Audio Cd.
Distributing music to others is not legal. You can burn cds for personal use.

I'm trying to burn my audiobooks on CDs. Got through three books just fine, then my CD/DVD drive "disappeared." I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs.

I rebooted and got it back, but iTunes says, even after I un- and re-installed it, that it doesn't have the registries to burn CDs. How can I retrieve this capability? My audiobooks are from Audible.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

HT2953 After I burn a CD onto iTunes, I cannot find it in my iTunes library

I want to burn an Album onto iTunes. It is imported. However, it does not come under that artist.
What do I do?

Hello Marks232,
There are two places I would check, the fires would be in iTunes in the movies sections. There should be a Rental tab in that section. If you do not see it then check out the following article to see if the file has been downloaded to your computer.
Where are my iTunes files located?

If you still cannot find it, then refer to the following article for issues about your purchase.

Error in burning iTunes library to DVD as back up

I'm keen to make a back up of my iTunes library onto DVD.
When I try to do this, having followed the instructions to the letter, the system chugs through, checks the playlist, tells me it is initiating the burning, then I get a message canceling the operation reading 'unknown error 4251'.
Now, I can't find anything relating to this error on the Apple website, however, there are other users with the same problem using other forums. The problem is though, there don't seem to be any answers resolving the problem.
Any help would be great, thanks.

Well....You do not absolutely need to Use iTunes for Backing up your Music. Any program that burns DVDs can burn music files as data disks.
iTunes can work fine for music files BUT: I prefer more control and completeness over my backup process. It is also very important to note that a large limitation of using iTunes to manage the backup is that the iTunes method does not maintain the two meta-data files (iTunes Library.itl & iTunes Music Library.xml) where your Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. are stored. See: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you are heavily invested in your Library data (Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings, Last Played, Date Added, etc.), it is critical that you also make and archive multiple backups of your ‘iTunes Library.itl’ file.
If your music is located under one common Folder (e.g.-‘iTunes’), then it is easiest to physically copy that folder and all its sub-folders in one simple process. It can be done quickly, and incrementally – several times a day, when necessary. In the case of any data loss, just re-copy your entire (or partial) music library back to wherever it was, placing it in the main Folder that the previous iTunes expected. Along with the .ITL meta-data file, this completes a full ‘restore’ of your music to the time of your last backup.
Use of a backup software program will greatly help. It will allow you to easily perform incremental backups of only the files that have changed. WinXP has such a facility built-in. I use a free program called FileSync ( http://www.fileware.com ). There are many out there. Some use Zipped files or proprietary formats, others use standard file formats. I like FileSync as it uses normal file formats that can be viewed/managed via any Windows program or utility.
Here's a list of possible ways to copy your music files from your main iTunes computer to another storage medium for backup purposes.
1) Use an External Hard Drive to store the complete iTunes meta-data files and underlying Music Folder structure and songs from your main computer. They are quite cheap now, for their storage volume. This is my preferred main medium.
2) If you have two computers:
2a) Connect them through a router
2b) Connect them using a Direct (w/Mac) or Crossover (PC/PC) Ethernet cable (See: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html)
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. See: here as an example.
Copy the files and folders from one computer to the other. Use the second PC as your backup repository.
3) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7+ GBs each) with the music data files and store them safely. Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your DVD drive can manage these).
4) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #3 above and store them safely in more space Re-writable ones are good for backup purposes (if your CD drive can manage these).
5) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB – 4+GBs) to store the files only if you have a small amount ripped music or have multiple and/or jumbo USB drives at your disposal that will fit your music library.
6) Use the second internal hard drive (if available) of your PC -- not optimum, as you really want to physically separate the storage of backups from the originals, but good as a tertiary storage device.
By keeping only one copy of your music (other than on the iPod), you are not truly 'backed-up' and are running a high risk of losing your music. Music files on just the iPod and the computer is not considered having any backup. If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer, then create and maintain two external sets.
You need at least three sets of your music:
-- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
-- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
-- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
It is a good policy to backup all your important data. It is a very smart policy to back it up on more than one medium.
External hard drives now run less than $100 for 200-250GBs of storage. Very cheap backup insurance, indeed. See This Link

I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. Please help!?

I want to use my home dvd player to burn dvds/cds onto my MacBook Air. I have an hdmi cord with thunderbolt connector. Where do I go from here?

Apps for OSX aren't in iTunes: they are in the App Store in your Applications folder. The payment method is the one registered in iTunes. There's no app actually called Yoga Studio, though there are several Yoga apps. There is an iOS app called Yoga Studio but it appears to have no OSX equivalent, though I haven't done a detailed search.

How do i copy/burn my library onto dvd/cd?

Hi i am quite a computer novice so please speak in none technical terms. I would like to back up my itunes library onto a dvd or even several audio cds. My library is only 4GB and i had tried:
1. to copy library into playlist and then use the icon to burn to data dvd. It went through all my songs but said the disk was blank at the end.
2. Copy my library to several audio cds.Each cd holds approx 700MB therefore i pressumed that it would take 4 discs. However only a few songs copy onto the disc at a time.
Is it something simple that i am not doing.
Any help on both senarios would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

hi Jonathan!
hmmm. not precisely focussed on your specific question, but here is a good general resource on backing up:

How do I get audiobooks onto my iphone 5?

How do I get audiobooks onto my iphone 5? I don't have the option available in my music app. audiobooks isn't there at all. When I can see my iphone on itunes in my computer it doesn't give me the option to sync audiobooks. I can't even find them when the phone is connected. It only shows me regular books.

Audiobooks should be under the Books tab
Open itunes, Click on your iphone at the top of the page, or sidebar, depending on your settings, click the books tab, then go to audiobooks

How is content on iTunes Audiobooks screened?

While browsing iTunes Audiobooks I came across selections dealing with incest/paedophilia/****. Why are these there in an unfiltered site?

I purchased a nice AppleTV october 2010. since then I have seen tons of content disappear. The content is absolutely dismal. Where have the podcasts gone?? MSNBC is leaving, and more and more... why did Apple mislead it's followers with promises of expanding content when in fact it is disappearing. One or two movies (crappy ones at that) a month added is not right.
the shows are unwatchable, no classics, just low junk.
WHAT GIVES APPLE?? I have already made the decision to never purchase another itunes music item ever again due to extreme low quality bit rates (lofi) and their policy of not letting you re download if you lose your machine, HD failure etc.. they are getting pretty bad at content and charging premium. I now purchase cd's on line for 2-3 dollars and burn 600-800 kbps. so i can actually hear the msuic when i play it through my real speakers.. difference is stunning.. BAD APPLE!

Burning wma files onto cd

I have some large wma files on my mac created by an Olympus digital voice recorder. I'm able to play them through Windows Media Player for Mac. I would like to:
1) burn the files onto a cd playable either on a Mac or a PC. I did burn a cd on the mac, but my pc at work doesn't even recognize the cd,
and/or
2) create an audio cd with these files playable on any cd player.
Olympus support wasn't helpful, so I'd appreciate any suggestions here. Many thanks!

Thanks for your replies. FYI, here's how the problem was resolved:
1) I was able to create a cd playable on both a Mac and a PC simply by burning directly in Finder and not in Disk Utility. I also used a "music cd-r" disk instead of a regular cd-r (I don't what the difference is, actually, or if it really mattered).
2) I downloaded EasyWMA for $10, converted a wma file into one playable through iTunes, and burned an audio cd from there. Unfortunately each of my voice recorder files (recordings of classes) runs for 2 hours and an audio disk with the converted files holds only 80 minutes of material, so it wasn't really worth going through that process. If anyone knows of a way of fitting more on an audio cd, I'd be interested.
Thanks.
