Burning cds in different formats

Hi,
I have about 80 songs that i have in my library (not from itunes store) that i want to burn to a cd. as of now, it will only allow 12 or so songs because of the file size. is there any way i can convert these songs into an mp3 or some type of file that will allow many songs on one cd?

Yes, it is in my library. I did try changing that preference but when i tried to burn again after changing the setting, it would still only burn 20 or so songs.

  • File sizes when burning in different formats

    Like many people, most songs in my playlists are MP3s/MPEG.
    If I want to burn 20 songs as an Audio CD (to play in a car's CD player) and select same in Preferences>Advanced, I understand that the files will be uncompressed to something like AVI format.
    My playlists show (at the bottom) file sizes of 50MB to 70MB. Obviously, the real size when uncompressed is something nearer 700MB. It means a bit of guesswork as to how many songs I can burn on one CD.
    Similarly, when burning Data CDs, the file size will be much reduced.
    Is there a way I can ascertain the exact file size when burning in different formats?

    +"It means a bit of guesswork as to how many songs I can burn on one CD."+
    For audio CDs, there is no guesswork required. At the bottom of the playlist that you are about to burn, you will see the number of songs and the total time. If the time is under 80 minutes, the list will fit on a normal audio CD. If it is approximate, like "1.2 hours," click on it and it will change to exact hours, minutes, seconds.

  • I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists. The format shows up as m4a - which never used to happen.  Can you help?  Thanks.

    I can no longer burn CDs from my iTunes (Macintosh) playlists.  The songs are now formatted as m4a, which might be making them unreadable by my CDs, although this never used to happen before.  Can you help?  Thanks very much.

    After you select Burn, you need to select AudioCD in the pop-up window.

  • Error 4000 burning CDs with iTunes 7.1

    iTunes checks the disc, then burns 3-4 songs, then cancels the CD burn wasting yet another disc. Also, I cannot backup my purchased songs with the backup feature. I get the same error 4000 when attempting to make a backup disc. These problems only began after installing iTunes 7.0. How can these problems be fixed? TIA.
    BTW, other CD/DVD burning applications continue to function fine.

    Same problems here. I have 2 different computers and tries 2 different CD-Rs and I found out that it has soemthing to do with the new "Protected AAC audio file" format.
    Open iTunes, click on music, on the listing side of the screen right click on name, and then click on "kind".
    I bet you can't burn anything with the "Protected AAC audio file."
    No solutions yet, so just don't buy anything else from iTunes for now.

  • Itunes and burning cds

    can I burn CD's from my itunes account? Can I transfer the files back to my computer so that I can use windows media player with them?

    This will help after you have got the BURN TAB Worked out
    Ok...I struggled to get answers for this problem...and guess what...*Got the solution...Eureka*
    When you press BURN Tab...you get a POP up with the following, the reason why the Cds do not burn is due to the speed...select the right speed and they will burn ( in my case it was 2x for SONY CD-R 700MB)
    1. CD Burner : Matshita DVD-R UJ-846
    2. *Preferred Speed* : *Select 2x - This is the reason why the CDs are thrown out as incomplete burn outs...my Layman answer is that all these CDs have different speeds and the average speeds are between 1-4, I selected speed 2x....and wow...it worked, no problems whatsoever.**
    3. Disc Format : Select Audio CD
    Gap Between Songs - I choose None...you can try different timings
    Include CD Text - Ticked
    Click the Burn Tab
    Good Luck and hopefully it works

  • Cannot burn CDs-Calibration Error

    I get this error when trying to burn CDs from Itunes, "The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media." Any suggestions? Is it broken?
    Thanks
    Bill

    I have been looking around for an answer for you as well, I did find this post on another board, it may be of some help.
    "If you're having trouble burning a CD or DVD, check the following:
    Make sure you're trying to burn a CD or DVD from a playlist (a list of songs) that you've created in the iTunes Source list. You can't burn a disc directly from your library, from the Radio, from a shared playlist, or from a playlist that's on your iPod. For more information about creating playlists or a CD, click "Tell me more."
    If you're not seeing the songs you expect on a CD or DVD you've burned, or if nothing happens when you click the Burn Disc button, make sure the selected playlist includes the songs you want, and that the songs are checked. Only checked songs are burned to the CD or DVD.
    If you want to create an audio CD, make sure you have an Apple CD-RW drive or SuperDrive. Some third-party CD-RW drives may also work with iTunes. To see if iTunes works with an external drive, choose iTunes > Preferences, then click the Burning button. If your drive is listed, it will work with iTunes.
    Make sure you've chosen the correct disc format for the files you're trying to burn to your CD or DVD. To create an audio CD, you need to choose Audio CD in the Burning pane of iTunes Preferences. To create a CD with any type of audio file that iTunes supports (MP3, AAC, AIFF, and so on), you need to choose "Data CD or DVD" in the Burning pane of iTunes Preferences. For more information, click "Tell me more."
    If your playlist includes songs that were purchased from the iTunes Music Store, you can only burn seven copies of the playlist to an audio CD. You may have exceeded the number of times you can burn this playlist.
    If your playlist includes songs that were purchased from the iTunes Music Store that have not been authorized to play on this computer, CD burning stops. To authorize this computer to play the music purchases, double-click the purchased song (where CD burning stopped) and enter the ID and password for the account with which the song was purchased. If you've already authorized five other computers to play the song, you won't be able to play it on this computer until you deauthorize one of the five already authorized computers. For more information about authorization and deauthorization, click "Tell me more."
    If your computer or monitor goes to sleep while you're burning a CD, you might encounter problems with the disc or with iTunes. To keep your system from going to sleep when burning CDs, increase the sleep timing settings in the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences. For more information, search for "saving energy" in Mac Help.
    If you've made a CD and it seems to stutter when played back in your external CD-RW drive, try playing it in your internal CD drive or in a stereo system. Some external drives may not play CDs properly.
    If your CD burn is unsuccessful and your external drive becomes unresponsive, turn its power off and on to reset the drive.
    If you can't eject a blank CD after you've inserted it, click the Eject button in iTunes.
    If the playlist you're trying to burn to a CD or DVD includes AAC files, make sure you don't have MP3 CD selected in the Burning pane of iTunes Preferences. You can only burn a playlist that contains AAC files using the Audio CD or Data CD format.
    For more troubleshooting information, visit the Apple Support website at www.apple.com/support/itunes.
    I strongly suggest a different brand of CD-R disc."

  • Can't see/open windows-burned cds

    I have 3 Windows XP-burned cds that don't show up on my Mac desktop when inserted.
    I know when I burned a disk in Vista recently, it gave me the choice of default or mac-readable and I was able to burn that one correctly. I assumed it was the same deal with XP so I gave the disks to a Windows XP friend to redo and she can't see any instructions to make it mac-readable.
    They were burned at different times on two different computers. One has documents that I have the software to open. The other two are .avi movies taken with a digital camera.
    How can I ensure that they will be mac-readable?

    This is more of a, "How to use Windows XP," than a, "How to use Panther" question. Basically you probably need to make sure the disc is closed, and preferably in some Mac compatible format such as ISO 9660.

  • Cannot burn CDs on iMac G5

    I see a lot of people have been having various problems with burning CDs and DVDs on the iMac G5. I have had a similar problem.
    I could not burn any CDs, but I could burn DVDs. This affected iTunes, Standard folder burns and Toast. But I could burn DVDs! I tried different manufacturers CDs but this made no difference. In iTunes I got the error about "unable to calibrate laser", in other applications I got an error code.
    I fixed this by modifying the CD/DVD System Preferences to Open Finder when a new CD or DVD is inserted. It was originally set to open Toast.

    I'll try and be as concise as possible, but I want you to know that I've tried a few things and asked a bunch of people and still no definitive solution.
    I copied an uncopywritten DVD-R on my iMac G5 using disc utility and the method described in an Apple article. I used a nextech 8x 4.6GB DVD-R. The copy DVD-R plays fine on the DVD player in my computer, but not on my JVC
    HR-XVC2OU(R) home DVD player, which does play the original DVD-R. I took the copy DVD-R to a store, and it played on a Pioneer DVD player. I made a copy on a Maxell DVD-R, but had the same result. The recorder in my computer seems to be Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-K04F. Apple Chat folks said the disk utility would reproduce the DVD in the same format it was originally which, according to the JVC people, is compatible with their unit. If there's not an easy solution, I'll settle for a definitive one. If you've reached this point, thank you. I'm at the end of my rope.

  • Burning cds code error code 0x8002006D

    I have been using my burner since i bought my powerbook and have been using the same cds. About a month ago i tried to burn a cd and got the error code 0x8002006D. I have been unable to burn from there on. I have reinstalled my computer and i continue to have this problem. Other forums suggest that it is a recent update? Any help or suggestions on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi, angelfire1220. Welcome to the Discussions.
    There are three primary causes for Error Code 0x8002006D.
    1. Dirty lens in your optical drive. The error code means that the burner was unable to perform the power-calibration test for its laser with the media. The test is described in "About optical disc drive burning and write speeds." A dirty lens is the most common cause of this error. Buy a dry CD/DVD lens cleaner at a good electronics or computer store and use it to attempt to clean the lens.
    2. Incompatible media. Many new optical disc formats employ dyes for high-speed burning that may not work with older optical drives. The power calibration test fails, not because of a problem with the lens, but because of an issue with the dyes in the optical media. Try a different brand of media.
    3. Optical drive failing. Your CD/DVD burner is simply worn out or damaged and needs to be replaced. If your Mac is still under warranty, you may wish to contact AppleCare. If there is an Apple Retail Store in your area, I'd recommend taking it there. You may wish to call ahead to make an appointment at the Genius Bar.
    Note that some of the information above is from the "Burning CDs and DVDs" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Tiger Edition.

    CDs I burn from my itunes 10 on my macbook with snow lepard will not play in the regular cd player.  How do I burn Cds that will pay in a reg old cd player?

    When the computer was new, I had the same issue I have now.  It was new and I could not burn to play on a reg cd player. Today, I can not burn to play on a reg cd player. Inbetween, I could not burn to play on a reg cd player.  I keep giving up and then trying months later.
           I have recently made the cds that play on the computer.  I have also tried in the last month to make a dvd copy, it played.  I have gone to people's homes and tried the cd's burned in my computer. They are not recognized.  This last round I have only used the cd-r but have tried many others in the past. I am running out of money to keep buying different brands, kinds, etc.  I figured it must be my lac of knowledge and am trying to get some new here.

  • Burned CDs won't play on portable player

    My friend who has a PC has been burning CDs for me of spoken-word MP3s. They play fine on my portable CD player. Recently she gave me a USB drive with a bunch of MP3s for me to burn myself on my new MacBook Pro. The CDs I burned won't play on the CD player (but they will play in iTunes on my computer). I don't understand what's going on...can anyone help out? Thanks.

    Yes, if your interest is only in burning CDs and you don't want to keep the music in iTunes, the process is pretty cumbersome. You may want to buy a disc burning application like Toast, which can burn all sorts of formats without your needing to import anything into iTunes.
