Burning audio books.

Ok, So I bought two audio books and put them both in their own new playlists and tried burning them. Well I stuck them in my car and I get nothing....It says it is playing track 1 but there is no sound or track 2 (both 2 part/file audio books). What gives?
I had the second part of the book about 46ish mins on the play list first and the 1st part 2 hours and 46 mins last. But it wouldn't even change to a "track" 2 and I got no complaints about size. I did see it saying recording both parts too.
Any ideas?

Will those disks play on a standalone CD player at home?

  • Burning Audio Book to CD

    I purchased and downloaded an audiobook from itunes. It downloaded in 3 parts; however, each part is too long to burn to a CD. Does anyone know a workaround for this? I'd like to burn it so I can play it in my car.

    If you want to make
    b exact
    copies of Audio CD's, you need a burning program like Toast (Roxio.com).
    The alternative is to import your audio book in iTunes, put the chapters in a playlist and then burn that playlist as an Audio CD.
    This will not be an
    b exact
    copy however.
    Depending on the organization of the tracks on the original CD, you might not notice the difference between the original and the copy.
    If you don't have Toast and you only incidental want to make a copy, try the iTunes way, before spending $$ at a program you hardly use.

    Hi, Simon.
    Have a look at this article in the Apple Knowledge Base and let us know if it solves your problem.
    In particular, pay attention to the statement that if "the book contains multiple files, each of which is larger than the space available on a CD-R, you will need to create separate playlists for each file and burn these playlists individually."

  • Burning audio book from purchased music to CD

    In burning an audiobook onto multiple CDs, I discovered that the last ten minutes of each CD did not get burned and the next CD started ten minutes later into the book -- why?

    I've found that checking the Sound Check checkbox in the Burning preferences (as well as making sure that you have selected Audio CD) makes the CD more universally readable. I have no idea what Sound Check actually does -- other than making the CD play in more car stereos.

  • Burning audio books onto cd

    i just attempted to burn my purchased book from itunes onto cd's. the process seems quite simple, however each cd appears to be just 1 track. therefore you cannot move forward or backward on the disk. this means if you stop listening to a disk in the middle and you want to come back to where you were, you have to listen to the entire disk again. argh!

    To burn an audioCD, you must put the files into a playlist & burn this playlist.
    Leave everything checked.

  • HT203164 iTunes can't find disc so can't burn (audio books)

    Help! I'm new to ITunes. On both my Windows 7 laptop and Windows Vista desktop, iTunes can't locate the disc. I ran the CD diagnostic and it says "no audio cd found"....except all the music cuts appeared in itunes and asked if I wanted to copy them to library... The instructions in this help article don't work for me -- in Windows 7, in the IDE folder in Device Manager, there aren't any IDE controllers listed for the player. In windows vista, the IDE controllers have DMA enabled. both have updated software. HELP!

  • Burning audio book download

    I just purchased an audiobook from iTunes. When I attempted to burn a copy to CD/s I was informed I could only burn 7 copies. I began the burn, and then was informed that the playlist would span more than one CD... and by the way, it was only one track. I affirmed that warning and watched what would happen. It rejected my TY CD and asked for valid media... I tried a few more disks, thinking I may have had my first TY coaster. It rejected everything. When I canceled out of that burn, I tried to burn it again, and was warned that I had used one of my 7 authorized burns.
    This is my first audiobook download... are there any secrets that I just don't know, yet? I have a Mac, but this purchase was downloaded on one of my Windows computers. Do I need to find a way to transfer these files to my Mac in order to burn them?
    Any advice is appreciated.

    Hi
    I copied this text from the iTunes help section:
    "Many audiobooks and other spoken programs contain chapter markers. To skip to another chapter, use the Chapters menu.
    If you stop listening to an audiobook and go back to it later, it begins playing from where you stopped."

  • Trying to burn an audio book....need some help...

    Ok,
    I am burning some auidobooks for a friend. Rather than the audio book being broken down into tracks it is one track. The first book went fine though I ran out of CD's. The first book was a mix of brands and contained CDR and CDRW.
    I purchased the next set of blank CDRs and finished the first book fine no problem. Then I started to burn the next book. As before, it tells me that I need mutiple CDs because the track is obviously too long to put on one CD. So I start the burning process. Everything goes fine. No errors at all. I put the CDs in to check them. When I get to the second CD, however, there is a track listed but it does not play.
    I check all my settings again (I am well versed in using my mac): Burn speed is at maximum and I am burning an audio CD. So I figure that I may be applying too much RAM else where in my comp so I close everything down except iTunes and I try again.
    The process has no hiccups and seems to be fine and it completes. I again put them into check their completion and about half way through the first CD the audio just stops. Both times it keeps playing, but no sound is coming out. I try playing the CDs in other programs and in an external CD player to no avail.
    So this is my problem. I have now wasted 12 CDs. I thought it might be the brand (Memorex) but remember that it did work. The only thing I think I can do is to slow down the write speed (the CDs are cabable of 52x...or so they say) or buy another brand But before I waste another 6 cds I was wondering if anyone had any advice?

    Whiteonyx,
    Welcome to the group. I don't have advice for why it didn't work but I can tell you about good CD brands as I've had problems burning music in the paste. From being on this forum I have heard Memorex is bad although I've used them for music with no problem. The best though is Verbatim and that after I ran out of my cheap ones I bought a big bundle of them, Sony is also good, along with Maxell.
    Here is my post on the subject of CDR's awhile back and everyone has different ideas of what is good:

  • Trying to burn an audio-book that is too big for the CD?

    I purchased an audio book (apx 2hours long). I tried to burn it to the CD but it keeps telling me that there isn't enough room on the CD. Is there a way to burn the CD to a folder, then split the tracks up to muliple disks?
    Keep in mind with audiobooks, it's one file, but when you burn it, mulitple tracks are created. (kinda like an .iso).
    Thanks for any assistance.

    DVD's can only hold about 4.7 GB's of DV Stream format (the format used by iMovie).
    DV Stream is 13 GB's per hour of recording so it would take 3 DVD's to "store" your data for a one hour capture.
    "Export" (back to tape) or use iDVD to "burn" an MPEG-2 version of your file.
    Only the "tape" version would not require some type of conversion on import.

  • Sync/burn an audio book in full

    I bought my first audio book. It is 7:23.48 hours long. I tried to burn it to a cd, and sync it to my iphone. IT will only burn and sync the first chapter. (1:61) The book does not show the other chapters on my laptop screen. I go to controls and click next chapters and it will go to next chapter. I can listen to the whole book on my desk top. Any suggestions on how I can get this whole book on my iphone and a CD. Thanks

    With your phone connected, iTunes running, click on the "Book" tab, scroll all the way down, is sync audiobooks checked? If not, put a check in the box.

  • How to burn iTunes audio book to CD that will play in my car

    I purchased two audio books from the iTunes music store. I have no intention of sitting at my computer for twelve hours listening to the books. I intend to listen to the books on my car CD player during long road trips. When I try to convert the files I get a message that says that they can't be converted because they are protected files. How can I play them on a CD in my car?

    I THINK my iTunes preferences were already set to "Audio CD" on my first, failed attempt. For this failed attempt I simply hit the burn icon in the upper right of iTunes. When I followed your advise my preferences were already set as you suggested but this time I used one of the pull-down menus along the top to select "burn playlist to ....". This worked perfectly. Problem solved. Thanks for your help.

  • How do I burn an audio book to cd

    I just bought a 16 hour audio book that was downloaded in seven parts. When I went to burn it on CD, the error message came back to break down the playlist into tracts that fit the disc size. Problem is that there is no tracts. I bought the audio book from iTunes so how do I break part down into manageable size?

    The audiobook content in iTunes is provided by
    audible.com. If you will check on audible's website,
    there are complete instructions on how to burn your
    CD to disc. In fact, I'm in the process of burning
    one to disc myself, using audible's instructions.
    Hope this helps!
    That's wonderful. Thank you Deb

  • ITune fails to burn large audio books:The iTune library file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory.

    Hi,
    I am trying to burn large audible audio book to virtual CD and iTune 11.2.2 keeps crashing midway. After spending hours trying to get information off technical forum, here is the description and possible explanation of what is happening:
    The burn start normally, iTune  create 10 tracks of 8 mn per CD.
    The burn progress pass 10 CD (up to 30 CD).
    The a message box with: "The iTune library cannot be saved. There is not enough memory" appears.
    In the back ground the process keeps going for another 2 or 3 CD then stops.
    This is NOT a memory problem:
    My computer still has over 100 Gb of HDD left
    On my i7, only 4 of the 8 core were used.
    The whole process didn't go over 3.5 Gb of RAM (out of 8).
    I reinstalled, iTune.
    I re-imported the files.
    I raised the processes priority to High.
    From the forums, This problem started past iTune 7.x and x64 bit processors whenever iTune used more that 1.5 Ghz of RAM.
    It does follow the behavior of a 32bit bit system going Out Of Memory.
    The way I see this: Apple has to either create a fix to reuse the current iTune memory properly or create an update to 64bit so it can use whatever RAM is available in the computer.
    Does anyone else have any other idea?
    For those who want to play lawyers, I am not American. In my country, it is legal to remove DRM off content that you legally own. The fact that Audible softwares were made by drunk monkeys is enough of a reason.

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.

  • How do I burn this audio book?

    I have a audio book, in the main / only folder, it has 14 folders each labeled cd1, cd 2, cd3, all the way up to cd14.
    Each folder has a number of mp3 files in it from 18 - 22 in number.
    Each cd folder is approx 40 mb in size & each mp3 file is about 2.5 mb each.
    How do I burn this and how many folders can I fit on 1 cd?
    Thanks for any help

    14 folders each about 40MB is about 560MB total. Most blank CDs can hold 700MB. So in that sense, you only need one CD.
    But if I can answer a question with a question: Where do you want to use this CD? If you just want a backup follow this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303599
    If you want to be able to play these files in a CD player, then it depends on the CD player. Most newer CD players can play burned CDs, some can even play MP3s. If your intended use is in an MP3 CD player, follow this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93124
    Otherwise you'll need to burn an audio CD (well, 14 audio CDs) following this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301917

  • Audio book cd's burn with text

    Even with the "include cd text" box unchecked my audio book cd's burn with text and when I try to put them on my laptop to listen to them I can't import them into media player because the text is on the first cd.
    How can I get it to stop putting the text on the audio books when I burn them?

    There doesn't seem to be a way to do this just using iTunes. However, I'm aware of 2 approaches to overcome this limitation either by using a 3rd party app on the Mac or the iPod:
    a)Use a utility program on your Mac to join all the track files into a single file and transfer the generated merged file to your iPod. One such utility is called AudioBookBuilder and it's available in the Mac App Store.
    b)If by iPod you actually mean an iPod touch, you can transfer all the individual tracks to your iPod and then use a player app to listen to the audio book, ideally an app that is capable of keeping track of where you stopped listening so that you can resume listening later. One such app is called AudioBookCD and it's available in the iPhone App Store. Disclaimer: I developed the AudioBookCD app to address this need.
