Burn Playlist to Data CD and Tracks Get Put in Folders

Hi Guys,
When i want to make a CD for my car, which supports MP3 and AAC, i just drag and drop all the songs onto a playlist, which I then burn to the CD. Sometimes when i do this, the CD burns all as one folder, so i have 180 tracks or so 1 after the other, which i what i want. However other times, such as with the playlist i have made and want to burn, they go into folders of the artist names so for instance 2 songs by the same artist is in the same folder. I find it much easier to operate my car's CD Player when they are just track after track and i dont have to scour folders to find songs i want to play. Is there a certain requirement to stop iTunes doing this, or a tickbox or something i am missing in Preferences?
Thanks a lot for your help
Chris

  • Burned playlist to data DVD; song out of order

    Why would "Burn Playlist to Disk' change the order of the songs in a playlist? Mine came our sorted by album name...not in the order I created in the playlist.
    Have I got some setting wrong?

    by album. I've tried all the variations of "album" too, by clicking on it a few times.
    But I just discovered that if I don't have the track number listed in the Info section, that it gets out of order. I've manually changed a few and it has worked. Just wish I got it before it went into the system.

  • On holidays we took pictures with two cameras and an iPad. I put everithing on my PC. Rearranged them by date, time and or subject putting a number in front of the picture name. I synchronised with my iPad and my pictures show in misselaneous order. Help

    You did nothing wrong, but the photo app puts stuff in chronological order.
    You can look for another app. Afraid I don't have one to suggest, but I do understand that other apps will sort photos differently.

  • Date objects and prepared statements

    Hi, I am trying to parse a String into a Date object with format "dd/MM/yyyy hh/mm/ss". Anyway, i have a method in a separate class which reads in a String and converts it to a formatted Date object.
    static public Date convertToDate(String t) throws ParseException {
    Date dd = new Date();
    ParsePosition p = new ParsePosition(0);
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss");
    //y, M, etc are retrieved as substrings of String t. I know these methods are deprecated as well
    dd.setYear(y);
    dd.setMonth(M);
    dd.setDate(d);
    dd.setHours(h);
    dd.setMinutes(m);
    dd.setSeconds(s);
    String formattedDate = formatter.format(dd);
    Date theDate = formatter.parse(formattedDate);
    return theDate;
    Anyway, I am trying to use this in an SQL statement because I am using an Access DB which has a field of Date/Time value. Is this correct to use a Date object then? I have a prepared statement -
    PreparedStatement query = connection.prepareStatement(
    "SELECT FText FROM wnioutput WHERE Id = ? AND Section = ? AND Start = " +
    "? AND Field = ?");
    //start is the Date object returned from the previous method in a separate class
    query.setInt(1, id);
    query.setInt(2, section);
    query.setDate(3, formattedStart); - with this part, i get a setDate method not found, or something
    query.setString(4, ch);
    Can anybody tell me what the problem is? I know there are Date objects of java.util and java.sql. Should i be using an sql Date object? And if so, how, and where do I do this? Thank you!

    ok, i just tried
    query.setTimestamp(3, new java.sql.Timestamp(formattedStart.getTime()));
    where formattedStart is a java.util.Date object
    and I get the following error message -
    Error occured in getting endDateAndTime: java.sql.SQLException: Exception in databaseDisplay: the error message is:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression.
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    where endDateAndTime is
    // takes in the startDateAndTime as a formatted String (before it is converted into a Date object)
    public String getEndTime(int s, int ID, String stDateAndTime) {
    String end = null;
    gui g = new gui();
    try {
    String sql = "SELECT End FROM wnioutput WHERE Id = " + ID +
    " AND Section = " + s +
    " AND Start = '" + stDateAndTime + "' AND Field = 'Wind50m'";
    ResultSet result = g.queryDatabase(sql);
    if (result.next())
    end = result.getString("End");
    } catch (SQLException sqlex) {
    System.out.println("Error occured in getting endDateAndTime: " + sqlex.toString());
    return end;
    Although this method worked fine before. So the error is in setting the date object in the prepared statement. Anymore suggestions??

  • Trying to burn a playlist in itunes and i get this message at the end 'The attempt to burn a disc failed. An nknown error occurred (4450)'.  This is with a new Dell laptop running windows 8. The playlist was 17 songs from cd's and itunes.  Any ideas?

    try this...
    This is how I managed to fix the problem...and I hope this helps others in the similar situation.
    I tried with another program..latest version of Nero, and this was also stopping at the 'initialising' stage. I was now lost! I thought the last resort is to give Evesham (My PC manufacturer) a buzz. They were very helpfull. Basically go into 'Control Panel', 'System', and click on the Hardware tab, then 'Device Manager'. Uninstall everything in the DVD/CDRom Drives. Then uninstall everything under the catagory IDE ATA/Atapi disk controllers. This is where my problem was, as I only had one IDE channel here. You should have 4 or 5! Reboot your machine, and everything will automatically re-load. I tried burning using Nero and it worked. Then the big test was iTunes. It worked 1st time!
    I asked why the IDE channels have dissappearred, and he said sometimes uninstalling Programmes occasionally removes them.
    I hope this will help others who are having problems to burn stuff on iTunes.

    You have a disc inside your optical drive.

    Remove the extra disc.
    My answers are basic because:
    You never told us which model iMac you have?
    How you are burning?  Through iMac?  External burner?
    Which OS you are currently using?

  • How do I get Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track

    How do I get stupid Itunes to play an album in order if some of the songs are duets? For example, if I'm playing an album by "John Doe" and track #3 is a duet w/ "Jane Doe", it treats it as a separate album! What can I do

    Hi
    All my tracks are MP3.
    In List View, I do not have an Album column I have an Album by Artist column.  If I click on this column the albums look right in the playlist on the screen but when I burn to the CD the tracks are not in one folder per album instead they seem to be in folders per Artist then Album, which as one of the albums is a compilation has created about 30 folders.
    If I switch on the 'Sort by Album' column it burns the disc as I expected.

  • How do I get my playlists off my iPhone and on to my new PC?

    Recently my lap top was damaged badly butI was able to extract the data and get my iTunes back on my new PC. Crappy part is all my time spent on creating playlists and changing track info such as genres and ratings did not transfer. I still have some playlists and track info for the tunes on my iPhone but I have been very hesitant to sync or update my phone to the new computer for fear that I will lose this too.
    Is there some way to get this stuff on to my new pc? I really do not want to start over personally updating the 911 songs on my iPhone, it's bad enough that I have to do so for the other 20gigs that weren't on my phone
    I hope someone can help.

        Yikes Lndz307! That's quite an extensive problem! May I ask what make & model device you have? How long have you been having this issue?

  • I tried to burn a cd from itunes and get an error 4020

    I have tried multiple times to burn the cd from a playlist in itunes and keep getting an error.  I have reinstalled and continue to get the same error.  I think it is a corrupted file that I purchased from itunes, but I'm not sure.

    I also get this error message on itunes.
    I am using Windows Vista. My firmware is totally up to date as is my itunes.
    Hopefully Apple can pull their finger out and give us a solution. I haven't been able to burn discs for a long time. Makes me wonder why I have invested in Apple products.

    My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and  followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
    Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

    Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

  • Burning playlists from my iTunes to CD doesn't work anymore. Keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?

    I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes.  I keep getting a "medium write error" message.  What does this mean?  I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed.  I tried this and that didn't help.  I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc.  I have not tried this yet.  I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue.  I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord.  Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities?  Thanks for the help.

    A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

    Apple Portables: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    Realize that a MBP that came with Tiger is an old computer and optical drives do not last forever.
    You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust.  Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue.
