Burning CDs that store large amounts of music

Hi, could someone help me?
I know someone who has Windows XP and has a bunch of CDs that he plays in his car, and these CDs have a lot of songs on them, around 50-100 tracks.
Is it possible for me to burn a CD with iTunes that plays 50-100 songs? Is it something to do with the formats? Please help. Thanks.

Amy,
Converting your current tracks will give you duplicates as you say. However you can always delete these quite easily by adding the Kind column to your Library view then sorting your tracks to segregate MP3 and AAC. You can burn your MP3 CD and delete the tracks afterwards. To add Kind, right click at the top of any Library column and choose Kind from the list. Use a smart playlist to gather up the MP3s by giving it the rule "Kind" is "MPEG audio file".

  • Is there a way to put a large amount of music on your iPod without having to keep all the files in iTunes on your computer as well? I want to put my entire music collection (including cds) on my iPod but don't want to take up the space on my computer.

    is there a way to put a large amount of music on the ipod without having to keep all the files on itunes as well? I want to use my ipod as an externa drive and put all of my music on it without taking up the space on my computer. I also don't want to lose all my files everytime I plug ipod into my computer. Is this possible? Is there a way to avoid using itunes and only use the ipod as an external drive?

    You cannot put music onto your iPod without using iTunes, that what iTunes is for.
    It's also not a good idea to wipe the music from your computer and having it only on your iPod. We see countless posts here from people who have done just that - and then lost everything when the iPod needs a Restore. Even if you never need to Restore your iPod, what happens when you eventually replace the iPod? You'll be back here asking how to get the music from one iPod to another. That's not easy to do, we see countless posts about that too!
    A much better idea is to buy an external drive (a proper external drive, not simply an iPod) and put your large amount of music onto that drive. Then point your iTunes Library to that drive. However, you need to remember two things:
    You still need a backup of that Library.
    Using an external drive as your iTunes Library means that the drive must be connected and ready to read before starting your iTunes programme. If it isn't, then iTunes will look on the C: drive - and you will find no music in your Library. (Once again, lots of posts about that as well!)

  • If I have a large amount of music/movie content in the cloud, how do I get it onto my iPad/iPhone so I can hear/see it when I dont have access to WiFi?

    If you go into the Purchased tab in the iTunes store apps on your iPad and iPhone then you might be able to redownload them from there - they should then be accessible in the Music / Videos app without you needing to be be online.

    Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
    You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
    You should let it dry for  a week or so, then try.

  • 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?

    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. 
    Sincerely,

  • How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

    How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

    Make sure the format when you burn your playlist is one your car's CD player will recognize. Typically mp3 songs are readable now but when in doubt, burn an audio cd. Yes, you will get less songs per cd (as compared to mp3 formatted one) but you are guaranteed the cd will work in any place.  Most cars have it written on the radio somewhere what formats it can read for CDs.. Good luck!

  • So I had a large amount of music on my Iphone 4S, and so i bought a storage plan with 10 more GB's of storage. I went to sync the rest of my music, assuming it would now let me have it on my IPhone, but it said I still didn't have enough storage. Help?

    You bought icloud storage.
    This has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.  You cannot increase the storage capacity of your iphone at all.

  • Burning CDs that Windows can read

    I'm trying to copy some data CDs (windows format). When I do that on MAC, the CD cannot be read by a Windows computer. I have now wasted 3 CDs on trying out different things, so I hope someone can help me.
    The latest I tried was to select 'CD/DVD Master' so disk utitily creates a .cdr image. I thought that should be a bit-by-bit image. But when I burn it, I can read it on the MAC but not on any Windows XP computer.
    How can I create CDs that can be read on a Windows computer? I tried to search the forums, but didn't find an answer.

    Thanks. It's not quite clear to me how I can do that. If I want to copy a CD I need to use disk utility, as I understand it. So, if I create a disk image in disk utility, how can I burn it in finder?
    Toast is not a free program, as far as I can see. I'm not doing this a lot, so I don't want to buy a program just to copy an occasional CD. I would like to just do it with the built in software. I think it should be possible to create an exact copy of a CD. Alternatively, I will have to find a windows computer and see if I can figure out to copy the CDs there.

  • Itunes upgrade, large amount of music canno be located

    After itunes upgrade, a large amount of my collection is 'The Song "..." could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?'
    If before I play the song I 'Get Info' and then look the path (alt-print screen) and then attempt to play the song (I'll get the !) and then locate it, it will play. If I then compare the path to the print screen path, they are identical.
    Thanks for your time.

    1. find a song that is going to be missing, not hard since its a lot more than 50% of my library.
    2. select the song (dont play it) and 'get info' from its properties.
    3. since i cannot see the 'get info' and interact with itunes, i will make a copy of the window for future viewing with print screen.
    4. close 'get info' and try and play the song. its status will now have the all too familiar '!' and be limited now in what results it will allow me see.
    5. locate the song's file like itunes suggests.
    6. once located, select it in the play list and "get info".
    7. compare with the contents of the copy buffer.
    8. they are the same exact path names.
    These are not full albums or artists, my collection has always been maintained by itunes. So I have large portions of albums 'missing'. I don't use other programs to tag or album art my collection. None of my podcast tracks seem to have been impacted.

  • Trouble Burning CDs that Actually Play on a CD Player

    How do I burn a CD, using iTunes purchased music, that will actually play on a stereo system? It seems that songs purchased on iTunes and then burned as an Audio OR mp3 CD won't play on a CD players. Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    ~Kate

    Check your CD burn speed. Often CD players can't read CDs burnt at the higher speeds. I try not to exceed 8X or 16X when I don't know what type of player the CD will end up in. You can change the burn speed by going to the "Edit" tab in iTunes, then select "Preferences", then "Advanced" and finally "Burning". I'm sure you probably know this, but make sure you're burning audio CDs unless your player can read MP3 discs.

  • Purchasing a large amount of music, how?

    Hello, i am building up a music-profile for some Bars and nightclubs, and i need something between 1000 - 1500 songs. Anyone have experience of how to purchase so many songs the simple way. I could get list of songs and maybe mail that one to itunes, then pay and get all the songs at the same time. It will take me days and weeks to download manually, so i am open for ideas!!
    thx
    Kristian

    Did you tried to enable the shopping cart (Preferences/Store/Buy with Shopping cart)?
    Maybe that could work.
    But based on the iTunes EULA, the music is sold only for personal non-commercial use. You could get in a pickle with Apple and/or the IFPI.

  • New version iTunes burns cds that do not work in car

    I've burned some cds with iTunes 5.0.1 and some CD's dont play at all in my car stereo, and those that do have skipping problems, and noticeable noises can be heard as if the cd player is having trouble reading the disk (but the disks are clean and unscratched). I have used an older version of iTunes to burn on the same brand of CD-R in the past and they've worked flawlessly on my car stereo. I have only experienced this problem with the new version of iTunes. How can i fix this, or is this a bug. Thank you for your time.

    I'm having the same problem! Granted, I have never burned a CD and played it in my own car. But I have burned CD's for others and it works. I remember fitting about 50 tracks on it, so I beleive I burned it as MP3, and the people I burned them for have cars that play mp3 files. However, my own car does not play mp3's. So last night I burned a CD as audio cd and it does not work. I'm not sure what version of Itunes I'm using. I remember there was an update yesterday but I did not download it. You think the update was a fix?

  • Used to be able to burn cds of much larger size

    For over a year my wife has been recording cds on her MBP using Audacity for a class she teaches. They are saved as wav files and imported into iTunes where she makes a new playlist and burns to cds to distribute to the students who use them to practice the material recorded. No problem, even with several hundred MB files and around 35 mins recording time. But today (been a month or more since before) we are getting error messages in iTunes saying there is not enough room on the blank disc, do you want to split into multiple discs. This is with only 10 short recordings adding up to about 75 MB. Yet when I try to burn just one short file it works. Has something changed such that the limit has been reduced?
    iTunes 10.2.2, OSX 10.6.7, tried on both a mid 2009 MBP 15" 2.4 GHz, and on an iMac 11,3 i3 w/12 GB RAM
    Next is Applecare but thot I'd try a quick question here first.
    Thank you

    Replying to my own post -
    I called AppleCare and the guy narrowed it down to the media I was using. Sure enough, I had just bought a 100-pack of Memorex CD-Rs from Office Depot and that was the problem. Went back to Verbatim and no problems now.

  • How to maintain the dimension member that had large amount (over 10K)

    Hi, all,
    I am now doing a Project Planning using BPC and had some questions as follows:
    1. the total amount of the project memeber is huge (exceeding 10K in total). it will be crazy for the Administrator to maintain it only by himself. Is it possible that we can find a workaround method to let the end user to do the restricted work of administrator. in another word, can we find a way that prevent the end user to enter the Administration interface but can add the member themselves through the front end. the process work can be done in shcedule or by manually by the administrator?  Anybody had the experience on this? Or do you have any alternative and workaround way to solve the problem?
    2. the project memeber adding is not finished within one time. that means, in the first time, maybe only add the highest level. and later, adding the members under it. how can we manage it? Dynamic Hierachy or the others?
    Thanks

    You could also have the end user update a regular excel spreadsheet with the same column format as a membersheet.  Easiest would be to save off the membersheet in another location accessible to the end user.  Then it can be modified using excel.  Or have the end user maintain a delimited flat file containing all the information included in a membersheet.
    Using the bpc makedim package as a starting point, you can create a custom version that takes the user updated document as input and updates the bpc sql mbr table for that dimension then process the dimension. As long as the member list does not exceed the excel limitations, I would also suggest updating the membersheet in bpc.  In previous implementations this has meant taking a copy of the membersheet, deleting it, coping a template with the correct columns, then adding the members into it.  Updating excel spreadsheets from SSIS can be challenging if you have to deal with deleted members.
    Also if you have the potential of deleted members that might have associated facts, I have another post concerning that issue, but have not had time to try any of  the suggestions.
    Now, the end user is responsible for updating the member list without having access to BPC Admin tool, but someone with access to run datamanager packages would have to execute the datamanager package to process the dimension.

  • Can no longer burn cds that will play in my car's cd player

    Yesterday I tried to burn a replacement CD for one that got damaged. The disc was one I created in Itunes a couple of years ago. It won't play in either my sound system's cd player or my car's. The only thing that has changed is the version of Itunes (current) and my OS which is now 10.6.8. I also bought an album from Wofgang's Vault, and got identical results. I tried to burn in both Itunes and straight to the CD burner. I tried audio format vs MP3. I tried a windows machine with a different CD burner, the same machine actually that I was burning Itunes discs on originally. Same results. Is this a Rights Management issue? Has something changed recently in this regard? How do I make CD's that I can play in the car?
    Thanks for your help
