Burning a cd order of songs

I have my demo cd that I want to burn; I drag the songs over to the blank cd from itunes but two tracks switch order when on the cd. I have sorting on "none" in the cd window and the tracks are numbered consecutively in itunes. It is only the last two tracks that consistenly switch order.
Any ideas welcome!

I drag the songs over to the blank cd from itunes
Are you burning an audio CD? If so, drag the songs to an iTunes playlist, put the playlist in the order you want, and then with the playlist still open, burn to disc using the command File > Burn Playlist to Disc.

I want to burn a playlist but after it completes it has rearranged the order of songs. How do I keep my order?

Does anyone know what setting I need to change so that when I burn a playlist to a CD, I can keep my order of songs? iTunes keeps changing the order.

For a full run down see Grouping tracks into albums. Generally to control the order of tracks within an album you need to use appropriate disc and track numbers. You may also need to change the sort column for the view.

Songs burned out of order

Since I downloaded version 9.2 of i-tunes I have been having trouble when burning a playlist. It goes through the regular motions - it checks for my playlist, starts the burn, going from the first song to the last. However when the disc is burned it is in a completely different order. It is if i-tunes selected its' own playlist order of songs. Any ideas.

Thank you! The website is great and easy to follow!!!
So...
I went through all my music again and made sure things matched up, and if it didn't match up I fixed it...I created a playlist with the 'fixed' music...synced music by playlist only
But then I discovered something else...I went to download from iCloud, to see if I could at least get the purchased albums on my phone. The music seemed to download ok, but when I went to play the music, it started in the middle of the track and then wouldn't play continuously.
I'm not 100% sure, but I may have had music issues prior to the iTunes, iPhone and now iCloud updates. My apple service plan is expired, any further suggestions? Do you think taking my mac and my iPhone in to the Genius Bar is my only option now?
Thanks again!!

Why can't I change the order of songs in my iTunes library?

If I create a playlist I can change the order of songs but I can't change the order in the Library. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

Making the order of Songs on a burnt CD the same as on the Playlist

I have a big problem when burning a playlist to CD. Having created the playlist the list will always play in the listed (or correct) order. However whenever I burn the playlist to a CD the order of songs turns out to be different on the CD from that originally created in the playlist.

Wish I could even burn CDs, my itunes says the burner is drive D: when its actually drive E: and when you try to burn it says "burner not found".
It gets worse and worse the more you try to do things with itunes the more bugs you expose!

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?

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

I am trying to burn an mp3 disc from a playlist and it will not burn the disc in numerical order. It changes it to alphabetical. Shuffle is off, I clicked copy playlist to disc and nothing seems to work. I must have it in mp3 format. Help!

Fingers crossed, the following document may be of some assistance:

How can I change the order of songs in a smart playlist?

Hi there,
I have a question about smart playlists.
I have a smart playlist where all songs rated 5 stars are ordered in descending order, meaning the latest additions first. That works well in iTunes and I can rearrange the songs there without a problem.
But when I start the iPod on my iPhone the order of songs in this playlist is always the same. In my case the latest songs are always put last no matter how I sort the songs in iTunes. I tried to delete and create a new smart playlist but the result is always the same.
Is there a solution?
Thanks for your answers....

How do I change the order of songs?

Hi,
I have iTunes 9.0 (70) and I have my songs chosen in order by artist. I forgot how to change the order of songs.
I tried switching the songs categorized by the name of the song. That didn't work.
Please let me know how to drag and drop a song correctly. I just want to move one song by the same artist to a different spot in the queue.
Thank you.

Hi,
I used to be able to do that left column thing, but it won't work.
First of all, there are no numbers in that left column (not sure that matters or why that is). There's just an arrow at the top facing to the left with blank spaces beneath it.
When I click on the left column, all that shows up is the cover art for the albums, and the list is changed the order of each full album. I still can't drop and move.
Sorry I don't know how to attach a screen shot of this. Hope I described it okay.
I'm wondering if there's a drop down menu item that needs to be changed or something.
Thanks so far for your help!

Ipad2, iOS 8.1.2, how do I change the order of songs in my Playlists?

I Have an iPad 2, using iOS 8.1.2. i can't seem to change the order of songs in my Playlists in the Music App. I've clicked on Edit, and tried moving the 3 lines on the right up/down, but when I press Done, the changes have not been affected. Can anyone advise, please? I'm sure I'm missing something!

It sounds like you are doing it correctly. That method works for me in iOS 8.1.2
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iDevice?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.

I am trying to burn a DVD from an iphoto album, I placed it in the order I want , but it does not burn in that order, and has picked up other photos not in the album

I have created an album of phots, moved into order I want to burn, cd and dvd. It burned out of order in album and also added pictures not in Album highlighted to burn. Also was hard to view all pictures and move more quickly into order to view. I am use to using powerpoint and shows all slides at 1 time small thumnails so easy to move

Re the order on the DIsk:
When you export from iphoto you are in the Finder and that doesn't have the same sorting options as iPhoto. There is no "manual" sorting in the Finder, for instance.
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
Burn that to the disk.
I'm sorry but I haven't a clue what the rest of your query is about.
Regards

Moving order of songs in Playlist?

How do I change the order of songs in a playlist?

The songs go into the playlist in the order you put them into it.
If you had the library sorted in alphabetical order, selected a bunch of songs, they will be in the playlist in alphabetical order.
If you select one song and add it then another and add it, then another and add it, they will be in the order you added them.

How do I edit the order of songs within an album?

I have my Ipod plugged in and need to fix the order of songs on a few albums. Can someone please let me know how to do this? Thanks a lot.

If the songs are in a playlist open iTunes then click on the playlist. Click on the number column (extreme left). Click on the song you want to move and drag it to where you want it to be. Right click on the playlist name and select "Copy to play order". Connect your iPod, if you are updating automatically it will pick up the change. If you are updating manually then you connect first and when the iPod appears in the source list carry out the process above directly in the playlist on your iPod. Make sure neither Shuffle or Repeat are switched on in the playlist, either of those can prevent you reordering tracks.
If the tracks are out of order in the library try this, I found that it works for me. Right click at the top of any column in your iTunes library and choose **Track Number** from the list. Click at the top of this new column to sort it and after that click on the Album column. If you like you can then click on Artist, it will continue to hold the track order as well. Afterwards anything you import should follow this arrangement Artist>Album>Track Number within Album (you can hide the track number column when you've done if you don't want it cluttering up the view)
