Burning folders to separate songs in MP3 discs

Does anyone know how to burn mp3 files and catagorize them so that when u burn them u can have them in different files that a car mp3/cd player can recognize the files. I say this because i dont like hitting >> on the cd player 99 times to get to the song i want to listen to. My cd player can browse through files on discs by hitting up or down, then scrolling left or right through the songs in that file. If anyone knows how to do this through itunes please let me know. I was doing it in toast but it is time consuming to drag and drop all of them from program to program. Thanx alot

'If you really want to separate the song, you can use a tag editor to edit the ID3 tags of every single song. This could be a chore depending on the number of songs you have. Another way is to create playlists for your songs, simply add your songs into a playlist so you don't accidentally play any of your bro's songs.

ITunes 9.03 won't burn more than 2 songs to a disc

I like to compile my own play lists and then burn them to CD for the car. Usually 8 - 12 tracks, but iTunes tells me this needs multiple discs when burning to CD (800mb capacity) - for any play list that contains more than 2 tracks. It will then proceed to burn multiple disks with 2 tracks on the first disc, then only one on the follow up discs.
I thought perhaps it was because they contained protected files, so removed them, but the problem persists. In fact the problem is from any source, iTunes purchased music or that I have loaded in from purchased CD's.
Does anyone have a work around or a clue as to whether Apple is fixing this?
Thanks

Thanks for your comments. I have had very good luck in burning many audiobooks with iTunes.I called Apple requesting help with the problem. The technician's conclusion was that there may be an equipment problem which might be fixed if I were to take my computer into an Apple store for evaluation. This seemed to have about the same level of certainty as winning the lottery. Like the thread, you forwarded, I have access to a newer computer with the current version of iTunes. That works well for burning audiobooks.
My current hypothesis is that since, my current MacPro is pretty long in the tooth and is not compatible with Mountain Lion, burried withingin the lastest update of iTunes is some coding that makes a call to parts that are necessary to support Mountain Lion. This doesn't mean that a computer has to be running Mountain Lion, but that it has to be capable of running Mountain Lion. I should note that the burn feature of iTunes is the only problem that I am having with my MacPro.
Thanks again..

Burn MP3 disc with just tracks and no folders

You Guys Rock!!!
I would like to know how to burn an MP3 disc with just tracks and no folders. Right now, all songs show up as foler 1 song 1,2,3 --- then it will go folder 2 track 1,2,3,4 etc. I want to get it to simply read track 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc. all the way through the disc.
I typically get 80 songs on a standard CD-R disc. There may be 30 folders all with 2 or 3 songs within them. It is very confusing to scan through to the track I want to hear next.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Select the playlist then click on the Name cloumn & burn the CD.
If you sort by Artist it will put them into Artist/Album folders.
If you sort by Album, it will put them into Album folders.
get iTunes to burn with no sub-folders (ie, CD/Rock or CD/Pop and not CD/Rock/The Eagles/Take It Easy.mp3)?
Never seen it burn into Genre folders./Album folders...

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?

How do I burn only a portion of a song onto a disc?

How do I burn only a portion of a song onto a disc?

Select the song, do a Get Info, Options, set the start and stop times to whatever part of the song you want. OK out of there. Add song to playlist, burn to a CD. Only the selected part of the song will be burned.
Be sure to reset the start and stop times if you want to be able to listen to the full track in iTunes.
Also, you can right click on the song with the start/stop times set, pick Convert To XXX (xxx will be whatever the import preferences are set for (MP3, AAC, etc.), and a new copy of the song will be created but only the portion between the start and stop times.

Why won't iTunes record all songs I tell it to onto an MP3 disc?

Latest version of iTunes....
When I try to record an MP3 disc using either MP3 CD or Data CD (my car stereo handles both just fine) the final disc has some songs skipped and cuts out around track number 40. And, just to make life interesting, the players I drop the discs into will sometimes insist on skipping tracks. (i.e. will refuse to play or recognize songs 24, 26, 28, 30, 33, 35, 37, etc...)
If I copy the MP3 files to a pure data CD using any program except iTunes, it burns and plays fine.
I can't even begin to come up with possible causes for this glitch. Any ideas?

sadly Apple does not allow you to gift using iTunes Store credit
that's just the way it works I have tried myself and I know it doesn't let you
Sorry

Wh can't I burn a disk with songs downloaded from itunes? It won't let me burn MP3 songs

I downloaded some songs from itunes and tried to burn them to a disk. When I tried to burn them as MP3 I got a message that the songs downloaded from Itunes can't be burned as MP3. Because I paid for the songs I'd like to be ablet o burn them to a disk. Any solutions?

The songs downloaded from the iTunes Store are in AAC format. If you wish to use them for an MP3 disc, you need to create an MP3 version using these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Note that the conversion process creates a new MP3 version, but leaves the original in the playlist. You can replace it manually.

Burn MP3 disc from IPOD software?

I have amassed my library of MP3 files into the Itunes library folder.
Then I created a playlist and tried to use the "Burn disc" option..... assuming that since these were MP3 files, it would burn an MP3 disc.
IT WON'T, it burns a standard WAV audio CD with the miniscule capacity compared to MP3.
How can I get the ITunes software to burn the playlist of songs to a CD in MP3 format?
Can I still use the song sequence feature of the playlist allowing me to move song positions in making an MP3 disc? (assuming it's possible to make an MP3 disc)
I have scoured the Apple site for support articles and found absolutely nothing on IPOD burning of a CD disc.

Thanks. That is the control I couldn't find, I had to switch the burn mode to MP3 to be able to burn songs in MP3 format. Once I got it switched, it did burn an MP3 CD from the playlist.
Might be more usable if that select option (for format) came up as a selector box when one hits the "burn" icon to burn the CD.
There is so much stuff buried under layers of menus that it is very hard for the newbie to find things.
I did a search on the IPOD support site for "burn CD" and got absolutely nothing.
I'm thinking it shouldn't be this difficult to do simple things.
Thanks for telling me the location of the control.

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:

Burning MP3 disc in "right order"

Hello everyone. I've been trying to burn an MP3 disc. Burning all the tracks onto a disc has been successful but for some reason, I have not been able to get it in the right as it reflects on the playlist. Can anybody help me?

Can't play PC burned MP3 discs w/out adding to library???

This is really annoying me...
When I insert an audio cd, an mp3 cd burned with iTunes, or even music files burned as a data cd with iTunes, the disc shows up in my source list, and I can play it without having the songs added to my library.
When I'm done listening, I eject the CD, and it's as if it was never there.
My roommate has all these mp3 discs that he burned on his pc (I think as data discs) that do not show up on the source list.
I usually drag the disc icon to a new playlist in order to listen to it.
I turned off "copy files to iTunes music folder", because I don't want his files on my hard-drive.
But the file names still get added to my library and when I'm done listening I have to go in and delete them all - Major pain in the butt.
Is there a way around this?
Even if I have to use a different app to listen to his discs - that's fine.
I just want to be able to pop in his discs, listen to them, and then pop 'em out when I'm done, without them leaving any 'residue' on my Mac.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Just downloaded & tested Audion.
Perfect!
Does exactly what I want it to do, nice and simple.
Thanks!
p.s. - wish I could change your post from "helpful" to "solved" but apparently I can't - sorry about that.

How to burn as MP3 disc?

I have bought some songs from the AppStore. I want to trnasfer them to an MP3 disc so I can play them in the MP3 player in my car. I have been unable to do so. When I follow the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550?viewlocale=en_US it still won't burn them. How can I get them onto a disc I can play in my car?

When I checked the files that cannot be burnt, I found that they were all those I had bought from the iTunes Store.
Are these listed in the 'Kind' column as 'Protected AAC audio file'? - this would apply to songs bought from the Store before it changed to selling unprotected versions. You cannot convert protected files to another format.
There are two options:
a) You can burn them to an audio CD and rip that back into iTunes.
b) You can convert the songs to unprotected ('iTunes plus') for a fee: go to the Store and click on 'iTunes +' in the right sidebar.

Receiving "internal error" when trying to burn mp3 disc from playlist

I'm trying to burn an mp3 disc from a playlist that I've created. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error. I'm currently running iTunes 11.0.2 on my iMac which is currently running 10.8.3. I've done this many times before, and this is the first that I've had this problem. Here's the error I keep getting:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An internal error occured.
If you want to retry the current failed burn, click on Retry. If you want to go to the next disc burn, click on Next. Otherwise click on Cancel.
Here's how it goes down:
I've created a very long playlist which will require the use of multiple discs.
I right-click on the playlist and select to burn the playlist to disc.
I then get the usual burn settings pop-up menu where I select the "MP3 CD" format with a preferred speed of "Maximum Possible"
Note: Since experiencing this error, I have tried varried speeds ranging from 8x to 24x; I still get the error.
Note Also: I have tried selecting "Audio CD" instead, and the playlist will burn and the error does not appear. This is not an option I want to go with, however, because of the length of the playlist — it would take, like, 25 discs...
For a moment iTunes will read the disc, then ask permission for the playlist to be split across multiple discs. I say "ok".
At this point, iTunes will say that it is initiallizing for about a split second then immediately say it's finalizing and spit out the disc. This is when the error pops up.If I select to "Retry", it doesn't retry to burn; it just saves a .txt file to my desktop that is a copy of the error message. There's no error code/number or anything, though - just the exact same message. "Cancel" and "Next" seem to behave correctly, though.
I have tried repairing disk permissions and restarting my computer. I've also tried using different brands of CDs: Memorex CD-R and Innovera CD-R. The error persists.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

How do i Only burning certain parts of songs to disc (like a mix)?

I just want to burn like 45 seconds of a song to a disc (for a basketball warm up mix) and i can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks for your help, I would never have had any idea how to do it myself. After experimenting with your information, I found the order was - R click song, Get Info, Options, Choose start/stop time for the bit you want, tick boxes, Click OK, then create New Playlist from File, Drag and Drop the song into the new playlist, play the song from the New Playlist and it should work.
Once again, thanks for your help.
