Burn playlist to mp3 disc

i want to burn a playlist to an mp3 disc. i have tried converting to mp3 and i get the converting message but when i try to burn the disc it says not able to burn as an mp3 disc.

If you have purchased music in the playlist, it will not burn as a MP3, you will have to remove it from the playlist.

Mel, Sure, although that is "copying," not "burning." It is easily done, as follows:
Insert the USB stick into your computer, and open it up so it looks like a folder. Highlight the songs you want in iTunes, and drag them into the folder.
If you normally run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:

Burning Playlist to MP3

I am clicking 'burn mp3 cd' button in playlist, but am getting error message 'None of the files can be burned to an MP3 cd - Only files that are in the mp3 format can be burned to an mp3 cd' ??? The files in the playlist are all coming from my I-Tunes library and are in the format that I-Tunes converts them to when uploading cds. Any ideas?

If you didn't change anything in the preferences, odds are that iTunes imported the songs as m4a files. Go into Preferences>Advanced>Importing and see how Import Using is set. If it's set to anything other than MP3 Encoder, you don't have mp3 files.

Burning playlist to two disc drives

I have two optical drives. I should be able to burn a playlist to both drives. When I burn disk images from Disk Utility, I can select either drive and burn to it. However, in iTunes I can't find how to select either drive. Anyone know how?

Did the checkmarks go missing?
From iTunes > Help > iTunes Help

Receiving "internal error" when trying to burn mp3 disc from playlist

I'm trying to burn an mp3 disc from a playlist that I've created. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error. I'm currently running iTunes 11.0.2 on my iMac which is currently running 10.8.3. I've done this many times before, and this is the first that I've had this problem. Here's the error I keep getting:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An internal error occured.
If you want to retry the current failed burn, click on Retry. If you want to go to the next disc burn, click on Next. Otherwise click on Cancel.
Here's how it goes down:
I've created a very long playlist which will require the use of multiple discs.
I right-click on the playlist and select to burn the playlist to disc.
I then get the usual burn settings pop-up menu where I select the "MP3 CD" format with a preferred speed of "Maximum Possible"
Note: Since experiencing this error, I have tried varried speeds ranging from 8x to 24x; I still get the error.
Note Also: I have tried selecting "Audio CD" instead, and the playlist will burn and the error does not appear. This is not an option I want to go with, however, because of the length of the playlist — it would take, like, 25 discs...
For a moment iTunes will read the disc, then ask permission for the playlist to be split across multiple discs. I say "ok".
At this point, iTunes will say that it is initiallizing for about a split second then immediately say it's finalizing and spit out the disc. This is when the error pops up.If I select to "Retry", it doesn't retry to burn; it just saves a .txt file to my desktop that is a copy of the error message. There's no error code/number or anything, though - just the exact same message. "Cancel" and "Next" seem to behave correctly, though.
I have tried repairing disk permissions and restarting my computer. I've also tried using different brands of CDs: Memorex CD-R and Innovera CD-R. The error persists.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

ITunes no longer burning MP3 discs?

I am running iTunes 6.0.2 on my iBook which has, until recently, worked well. I don't know at what (upgrade) point things changed, but in the past when I created a long playlist and then selected 'burn' I would be told that the list is too long for a regular audio CD and then asked if I wanted to burn an MP3 CD. This no longer happens. Also, blank CDs no longer show up in the finder or on the desktop (so I can no longer put other files onto a blank disc); however, if I have a blank disc in the drive, I can burn a normal-length audio CD.
Please help.
R.

Thanks. Yes, the box you mention in Finder prefs it ticked. The problem is with blank discs, they do not show up anywhere on my computer when they are in the drive; even though iTunes 'sees' them enough to be able to burn them. However, I like to burn other data to discs too, but can no longer do it since the disc does not appear on the desktop or in the Finder.
Thanks again,
R.

Burning MP3 disc rearranged the songs

Greetings,
OK, I took 4 albums by the same group and made a playlist of the songs I wanted and jumbled them so they were no longer in their original order and all one album was together. I put them in the order I wanted. I burned an MP3 disc and on the burned disc all the songs were put back into their original order and in there original albums which were in alphabetical order. I don't want the songs in that order. I want them in the order I rearranged them in.
Why is it doing this? It didn't when I did this with 4 other albums by another artist months ago. It made discs with the songs jumbled up as I has listed them in the playlist. But even this old playlist from months ago, which burned just as I arranged it, now puts the songs back in their original order and the albums in alphabetical order.
How do I make it burn a MP3 album in the jumbled order of the playlist?

Here are the instructions from the page you liked to:
How to burn by playlist order
Create your playlist.
Click "Song" to sort the playlist by song.
Make sure the songs are in the order you want to hear them on the CD.
Click Burn CD.
Insert a blank CD and burn the disc.
I have yet to find "Song" to click on. The word is nowhere to be found. It'd be nice if they'd tell us where "song" is so I can click on it.
I've also noticed the program sometimes will not "read" that I've inserted a blank disc.
None of this was happening last week. Is there a way to go back to iTunes before the last (lousy) upgrade?

Creating a multiple playlist mp3 disc

I am trying to create an mp3 disc to play in my car with a few of my playlist in itunes, but I can't figure out how to put more than one playlist on a disc without all of the songs being filed into one list. help?

Using File > New playlist, create a new (temporary) playlist called "Burn Me Today." Drag in the songs from each individual playlist. Burn from that playlist, selecting the "MP3 CD" option.
When you are done, you can delete "Burn Me Today."
This process does not change the individual playlists in any way, so you will end up as you began, but will have tunes for the car.
But that makes one big playlist, which in the car appears a huge list of tracks.
What the OP wanted was each playlist to show up on the CD in the car, which works if they are in folders.

Burn MP3 disc from IPOD software?

I have amassed my library of MP3 files into the Itunes library folder.
Then I created a playlist and tried to use the "Burn disc" option..... assuming that since these were MP3 files, it would burn an MP3 disc.
IT WON'T, it burns a standard WAV audio CD with the miniscule capacity compared to MP3.
How can I get the ITunes software to burn the playlist of songs to a CD in MP3 format?
Can I still use the song sequence feature of the playlist allowing me to move song positions in making an MP3 disc? (assuming it's possible to make an MP3 disc)
I have scoured the Apple site for support articles and found absolutely nothing on IPOD burning of a CD disc.

Thanks. That is the control I couldn't find, I had to switch the burn mode to MP3 to be able to burn songs in MP3 format. Once I got it switched, it did burn an MP3 CD from the playlist.
Might be more usable if that select option (for format) came up as a selector box when one hits the "burn" icon to burn the CD.
There is so much stuff buried under layers of menus that it is very hard for the newbie to find things.
I did a search on the IPOD support site for "burn CD" and got absolutely nothing.
I'm thinking it shouldn't be this difficult to do simple things.
Thanks for telling me the location of the control.

Burn MP3 disc with just tracks and no folders

You Guys Rock!!!
I would like to know how to burn an MP3 disc with just tracks and no folders. Right now, all songs show up as foler 1 song 1,2,3 --- then it will go folder 2 track 1,2,3,4 etc. I want to get it to simply read track 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc. all the way through the disc.
I typically get 80 songs on a standard CD-R disc. There may be 30 folders all with 2 or 3 songs within them. It is very confusing to scan through to the track I want to hear next.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Select the playlist then click on the Name cloumn & burn the CD.
If you sort by Artist it will put them into Artist/Album folders.
If you sort by Album, it will put them into Album folders.
get iTunes to burn with no sub-folders (ie, CD/Rock or CD/Pop and not CD/Rock/The Eagles/Take It Easy.mp3)?
Never seen it burn into Genre folders./Album folders...

I am burning an mp3 disc - it burns in alphabetical order instead of numerical order - what is the fix?

Burning MP3 disc in "right order"

Hello everyone. I've been trying to burn an MP3 disc. Burning all the tracks onto a disc has been successful but for some reason, I have not been able to get it in the right as it reflects on the playlist. Can anybody help me?

Here are the instructions from the page you liked to:

Can't play PC burned MP3 discs w/out adding to library???

This is really annoying me...
When I insert an audio cd, an mp3 cd burned with iTunes, or even music files burned as a data cd with iTunes, the disc shows up in my source list, and I can play it without having the songs added to my library.
When I'm done listening, I eject the CD, and it's as if it was never there.
My roommate has all these mp3 discs that he burned on his pc (I think as data discs) that do not show up on the source list.
I usually drag the disc icon to a new playlist in order to listen to it.
I turned off "copy files to iTunes music folder", because I don't want his files on my hard-drive.
But the file names still get added to my library and when I'm done listening I have to go in and delete them all - Major pain in the butt.
Is there a way around this?
Even if I have to use a different app to listen to his discs - that's fine.
I just want to be able to pop in his discs, listen to them, and then pop 'em out when I'm done, without them leaving any 'residue' on my Mac.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Just downloaded & tested Audion.
Perfect!
Does exactly what I want it to do, nice and simple.
Thanks!
p.s. - wish I could change your post from "helpful" to "solved" but apparently I can't - sorry about that.

I can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas, i can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas

i can't burn a playlist to a disc from itunes, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas?

Additional information:
-also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
-am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago. Tried another brand also to be safe. None worked.
-ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
-also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
-tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
-Apple suggested it was a copyright issue. I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
-They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently.
Solution:
Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked! Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there. That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings. Not sure why. Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?
