Burning audio over multiple discs - BUT NO TRACK INFO!

This problem has been occurring for so long I can't believe I've waited this long to vent.
I went to burn a playlist to audio CD that would need to span three (3) discs. After the 3rd disc burns, I check discs 1 and 2 and neither have ANY track info. Just Track 1, Track 2, ... This does me no good. The track info only burns for the last disc in sequence. This is a repeatable problem and is so terribly annoying that it makes me wish there was a good viable alternative to iTunes.
Please help if you know any way to prevent this from happening.

Swank, you will have to edit this information in yourself on the secondary computer. This link explains why burned audio CD's don't have track information on another computer.

  • Burning Audio Book onto disc

    Hello, I am totally new to i-Tunes....
    I want to burn an Audio Book lasting 2 hrs 23 mins onto disc but it wont let me, says that the disc hasn't enough capacity, fair enough but shouldn't I be able to download most of it, then put another disc in for the rest??
    Or am I doing something wrong.....
    Hope someone can help me.

    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."

  • Best way to control audio over multiple slides-iMovie or QT Pro?

    I have a 30-slide presentation, and due to the horrendous handling of audio files by Keynote I need figure out the least painful way of controlling audio spanning multiple slides.
    My end goal is to have a Quicktime file to put on the web, and to burn to a CD or DVD for viewing on individual computers. There is audio spanning 3 slides (a Garageband mix with voiceover narration built in,)and different audio for background for different groups of slides.
    Least painful method to attempt this and get ACCURATE TIMING for the end product?

    Make a series of Keynote presentations, one for each complete audio track. Export each as a QuickTime DV (digital video) clip. Launch iMovie and import the clips into a single iMovie project; tweak each clip's audio, as necessary. Finally, export the assembled iMovie to your intended QuickTime format.

  • Audio over multiple slides in Captivate 5

    I am new to using Captivate 5 and i'm trying to record audio in Captivate that will play while 3 slides advance on their own.
    I read something on a past thread that talked about clicking a "slide divider" - I can't find the "slide divider" and about a "distribution window" opening after I record the audio - that never appears.
    Can anyone help me with this?  It seems like it should be easy to find.
    Thanks

    Hi Emily,
    You can record audio to 3 slides in different ways.
    Option1 :
    You can record audio individually on all the three slides by invoking the Slide audio dialog for every slide.
    1. On every slide you wish to record audio invoke the slide audio dialog ( from Audio >> Record to >> Slide ) and record for the single slide. Saving the recorded audio will add it to the slide you recorded.
    2. You can follow step 1 for all the three slides you wish to record.
    Option 2:
    You can record audio to all the three slides continuously in one go. You can do this in the SLIDES audio dialog
    For ex if you want to record audio for slides 1,2 and 3, then select slide 1 and invoke the slides audio dialog from Audio >> Record to >> Slides
    You get a "Record from Slide" dialog. Enter the Slide numbers for which you wish to record audio and click ok.
    This will open the slides audio dialog.
    Slides audio dialog shows up the slides selected in the "Record from slide" dialog. Enable "Continuous play" and "SWF Preview" and Click on the recording button. This will record audio over the three slides as you narrate. Audio will be added to all the three slides. You can see the Movie (SWF) preview or the Slide number mentioned in the top right of the preview pane to know the slide number you are recording to.
    If some portions of the audio spills over the next slide then you can arrange the markers in the EDIT tab. Here you can play the audio and pause at the point where you want your next slide to start and click on the button highlighted by Lilybiri. Its called the "Start Next slide here" button.
    After all the recording is done click on SAVE to add audio to all the three slides.
    Try out these and let me know if it works.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:

  • Issues Burning Audio CDs in iTunes

    I recently bought my computer (HP Pavilion a6755y) and have been able to burn data CDs using iTunes.
    However, every time I try and burn an audio CD, I have issues, and I'm not sure if it's iTunes or the burner/drive itself. Hoping someone can help me out based on what I describe...
    When I burn the CD, I select "audio CD" when the popup appears and leave the other settings as they are. iTunes appears to burn the CD, but once I hear that "finished" noise, the CD doesn't appear in iTunes. When I try and eject it from the CD drive, it won't eject. When I click on the drive in "Computer," it asks me to name the disc and then it says it's write protected. I have to reboot in order for the computer to recognize the disc - and then it appears in iTunes but without track names. When I try and play a song, there is no music. The bottom of the CD looks as though it was burned as a data disc, but when I try and play it in a regular CD player, the tracks are there but blank. When I try and import it back into iTunes, it always freezes on the third track and I have to quit.
    I have no idea why this is happening, as as a former Mac user, I'm completely baffled. Help!

    Ok I solved the problem. What you'll have to do if you have this issue is: 1) go to your system information and look and see if any of your drivers need to updated. One way to tell is by looking at your PC baseline score. Otherwise you should go to the hp site and search 'driver updates' then select all the specific info for your pc model. 2)When your done the HP website will give you a list of driver updates to download. I downloaded the 'essential upgrades for windows vista', installed it, and restarted my computer. I initiated burn again (make sure the shuffle option is off for the burn playlist) and it worked, burned the entire cd... FINALLY! If you need more help or something, reply to this post.

  • ITunes burned CD track info does not show in another mac.

    iTunes burns a CD of imported LPs.  Track info was entered with Audacity, saved as aiff and then imported into iTunes .  The track info shows up in my car CD player but not another mac.  Any suggestions?

    Update: after trying 6 discs that failed, the next few worked fine. Both iTunes and Finder displayed the actual disk name and track names. However, going back to the previously failed disks did not change the outcome. They still failed. That worked for another 6 or so disks, then this morning I ran across another one that got looked up in iTunes, but not in Finder.

  • Easy way to mute audio on multiple clips in PRE 10?

    In the process of creating my movie and experimenting with different sound tracks, I would like to temporarily mute the audio on multiple clips, but I can’t find a convenient way to do it.  I don’t want to delete the audio as I may revert back to using it.  I am aware of two methods, however both can only be used with a single clip.  (I want to do in a single operation with multiple clips).
    Method 1:           Unlink audio and video, then disable audio track.
    Method 2:           Right click on clip, select Audio Gain, and set gain level to -96 db.
    Both of these methods are tedious when you need to apply them to many clips, and equally so if you want to revert back to the original.

    You are correct that the Audio Mixer handles Tracks. It's the same thing with the Keyframes and adjustments made via Audio Mixer. That was why I suggested placing selected Clips on selected Tracks.
    When I am doing heavy Audio work, I always use multiple Audio Tracks, as that allows me infinite control. I also change the names of those Audio Tracks so that I know exactly what's one each, say "Lake Ambience Dusk," "Loon Near," "Loon Far," Frogs," "Crickets," "Music," "Narration," etc.. Then each Track can be adjusted, precisely, and I can also add Track Keyframes, via the Audio Mixer, to adjust Volume of each Track. Since the Audio Mixer applies Track Keyframes (not Clip Keyframes), I do that as my final step, when I have completed my actual Cutting and Trimming. Next to prehaps final scoring, this set of adjustments is the last thing that I do.
    Good luck,

  • ITunes only burns the first two discs of audible book over and over

    I have purchased, downloaded, and burned many Audible books in iTunes successfully . . . until now.
    NOW I cannot get my current purchased book to burn correctly.
    What I do...
    I create a playlist for the audiobook.
    I drag the audiobook into the playlist.
    I right click on the playlist and ask it to burn to disc.
    I am told the book will have to be spread across multiple discs.
    I click "ok".
    The playlist begins to burn to disc.
    I am prompted to insert another disc.
    I do so.
    This goes on and on for what seems like too many discs (normally, an unabridged audio takes about 8-12 discs depending on the length.)
    I check the discs in a portable player and discover that the first two discs are fine, but that the third and fourth discs are just repeats of the first two discs.
    I check the rest of the discs I have burned (18 at this point) and find that the first two discs are repeated over and over and over again!
    What I did to try and resolve the issue:
    I checked to see if I had the latest iTunes downloaded.  I do.
    I emailed Audible and they had me delete all occurences of the audiobook from my system and then re-download a fresh copy.  I did.
    Tried to reburn the new playlist with the new downloaded audio book.
    The same issue occurrs and I waste another 18 discs.
    It should be noted that the only reason I only wasted these 18 discs each time and not more is because I finally cancelled the burn.
    iTunes was still asking for more discs on disc 18 (and the audio book was only about 10 hours long).
    Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    THIS... is precisely why I use Toast.
    I know that doesn't help a lot, but I have NEVER been fond of iTunes for burning.

  • Whether / when to convert to PCM audio burning to Blu Ray discs

    I have been exporting FCP Sony HDV sequences as QT self-contained mov files into Toast 10.0.2 and burning via a Lacie BD external burner onto BD-R discs. They look and sound fantastic. But was wondering, I have stayed with the Dolby stereo audio tracks for the process and let the BD player do the down sampling to PCM audio for the HDMI output to my LCD monitor.
    Is there any advantage to my setting the encode to burn PCM audio tracks on the BD-R discs? Will this take longer? (already 25 to 30 hours encoding and burning a 90 minute QT mov file.)

    I think you have it backward.
    PCM tracks are uncompressed. You're compressing to AC3, and your DVD player is playing AC3.
    PCM tracks will leave less bandwidth available for the video.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

  • CD-RW/DVD-ROM drives reads and imports discs, but won't burn CD's

    I'm working on my laptop and I can import material from discs, but I can't burn anything to CD. I've tried iTunes and buring from the finder and iPhoto and nothing works. I've tried iTunes the most and here is what usually happens: the disc begins to write and then partway through it gets spit out (after some thumping or whirring noise of some sort) and it says the disc is unusable or unreadable. I've tried several different kinds of discs and none of them work. I've also tried those discs on my G5 and they burn perfectly. On the rare occassion that a disc from iTunes burns all the way through, it ends up sounding really weird... kind of warbly I would said. Any help?

    The best method for cleaning an optical drive that I know of is to purchase an optical drive lens cleaner (its a special disc that you insert into the drive and follow the instructions) at your local computer supply store.
    One article I saw talks about lasers in optical drives just flat out dying over time -- but this doesn't sound like your situation since you can play, just not record, though maybe it's something to think about since you have had your 'Book for a while.
    Finally, take a look at this Kbase article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151900 It seems to suggest (albeit under OS X 10.3.x, but I doubt that matters) that the inability to record on an otherwise operable optical drive lies with the disc being dirty or not the type or brand suitable for your drive. I can't say I agree, totally, with that analysis, but I thought you ought to be aware it's out there.
    Try the lens cleaner. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. There are many others.
    Good luck.

  • Burning a disc but getting a too large for current selected disc media mess

    Trying to burn a project on to DVD (4.7g disc) but I keep getting a message that says "Compiled project is 2835.4 MB too large for currently selected disc media. Does anyone have any ideas on this? Isn't 2835.4 MB around 2.8G. I'm confused! Should'nt this fit. Any help would be appreciated

    Hi
    To fit that lenght in a SL DVD you must use Compressor to encode your video and audio before importing in DVDSP. You can take the standard DVD High Quality 120 min preset and use the MPEG2 and AC3 (Dolby 2) settings, then use those files in DVDSP.
    If you are currently using DVDSP as encoder, you'll get AIFF uncompressed audio what takes a lot of disc space and bitrate.
    Hope that helps !

  • Drive Stopped Burning Audio Discs

    My Disc drive (G5 3 years old) seems to have stopped burning Audio discs using Toast. It seems to be doing data discs ok, but it appears domestic and computer players will now no longer accept my audio discs (Even both my Macs). Its always worked fine in the past and nothing has really changed to my system. Is this the sign of an ageing drive and do I therefore need a replacement? Is there anything I can do? I have tried burning different speed settings.
    Thanks folks

    If the G5 is also having trouble reading the discs it sounds as if the drive is producing really bad burns. Having either the cd or dvd side of things stop working properly is a classic sign of a drive on its way out. The drive begins to produce burns with much higher error rates, and more serious kinds of errors, than usual. All drives produce errors with each burn, but it's the kind of error and intensity of the error that matters. Drives have built in error correction circuitry that can handle the most common error type as long as they are below a certain level. Older drives often begin to either produce much higher error rates that the reading drive can't compensate for, or produce a non-correctible type of error. To make matters worse, the number of errors depends not only on the drive, but the relationship between the drive and disc being used. Each drive has firmware written to tell the drive how to write to different brands of media. Apple rarely updates the firmware on their drives, so after a few years the drive has to guess the writing strategy for each disc and this too can lead to high error rates. And to confuse things even further, companies that sell discs rarely make them, but buy them from oem manufacturers. So one batch of say TKDs may be Optidisc and another CMC and you have no way of knowing by just looking at the disc- you are thinking you are using the same discs but aren't.
    So one or more of these factors is giving you burns so bad that the drive the disc was burned on is having trouble reading it, and that's a very bad sign. I would suggest from my experience with many drives that a drive behaving as yours is - one that is 3 years old - should be replaced. A new drive will only run you about $40, it will have new firmware allowing it to work with current discs, and should be faster also.
    If you have access to a pc there are actually a number of programs that will allow you to test the discs and see what type and how many errors the burn has produced (I find this one of the few redeeming values of PC's). These programs are invaluable in situations like yours, and as I said, from my experience, the programs usually indicate with your symptoms very high error levels or errors that cannot be corrected.
