Burning iTunes list as DATA not regular songs

I have an iTunes playlist that I want to burn to a CD disc.
Before I bought a MacBookPro, I was able to do this easy with my PC.
I want to burn the 110 songs as MP3's, but the iTunes gives no option for that, so I only can burn 30 songs to the disc.
How do I get them all on the disc as before?
Thanks,
Mike

Well, 30 songs may be what the cd can hold, even if burnt as data. If the file format differs than what you were using on a pc (be it Apple Lossless vs a 128kbs mp3), that would explain things.
To adjust all this fun stuff, click iTunes > Preferences > Advanced. Concentrate on the Importing and Burning tabs.

ITunes 10.6.3 not playing song previews at all

Since Wednesday my iTunes 10.6.3 is not palying song previews at all. Clicking the play radio button shows it response as poitning at it I can see teh stop button. But no sound no movement on the playback progress bar at the top. I have upgared to Mountain Lion but this problem started a week before the upgrade. I have reinstalled iTunes twice and checked on my other Macbook same problem. Frustrating as one cannot buy song beofre previewing.

Hi,
yes I understand that. I assume that your mac is "authorized"? You might also have a problem with IPV6 causing interferrence. Have a look here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3202188?start=0&tstart=0
to turn off IPV6.

Bug in newest version of iTunes: last played data not updating after songs are played

I just downloaded the newest version of iTunes on my Mac. The "last played" data is not updating automatically after a song has finished playing (even after waiting for a while). Sometimes in the older versions it would take 5-10 second for the data to update automatically, but even after several minutes, "last played" still shows as if the song had not just been played.

I did something similar, but not the same: I "played" a few tracks from the iPod (fast-forwarding until about 30 seconds from the end) while the Shuffle was connected to my computer and in iTunes, which then caused the "Last Played" field to be updated.
The next time I connected my Shuffle, the Last Played values were updated.
I bet the Last Played was updated after you stopped playing the tracks...IN FACT. if you were watching your shuffle icon, you might have noticed the rotating thingy to the left of the eject symbol, meaning an update was ongoing.
This will happen AS LONG AS the track has "remember playback position" set.

Windows Vista: itunes 7.3 will not transfer songs to ipod

Please help. I have vista, installed itunes 7.3 and then tried putting my ipod in that was used on a previous computer. All seems well. I sync the ipod and seemingly the songs/podcasts transfer, but when i attempt to listen, no music just flashes green/amber/green/amber. I go back to itunes and it shows that my ipod has the songs on it. I check device manager for the usb hub and it says that windows is attempting to unistall device(code21). Check for solutions nothing. Anyone have any ideas, I've been messing with this for over a week with no success.
dell Windows Vista

I've installed all vista updates and the other day installed the new version of itunes 7.3 and now i can transfer all info to ipod. However, I have now just been attempting to burn an imported disc and during the intializing period it pops the blanks disc out and says an unknown error occured(2131). Any ideas

I lost my "RECENTLY ADDED" LIST AND CAN NOT TRANSFER SONGS

ITunes 10.5 will not download songs or import songs

I did a clean install of iTunes 10.5 to try to rectify other problems. Now, however, it crashes immediately if I try to import a song. If I try to download a song, it downloads the song but the second it switches to "Processing File" it crashes.
I've Googled for this and found numerous threads about the problem going back to iTunes 8.xx, but have yet to find a solution.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have Windows 7 Ultra 64 bit. Windows has no updates available other than the various language packs I don't need. The computer is clean on virus scans and malware/adware scans. Every other program runs without problem (at least MS Office and other programs I reguarly use).

I'm having a similar problem of not being able to sync any music or movies. I get an error saying, "The iPhone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start." The funny thing is, there are place-holders with small spinning sync icones for all my music that are greyed out when I click on my iPhone in iTunes.
I'm gonna back up as much stuff as I can then do a complete reload.

How do I preview songs within iTunes list of songs on my iPod Shuffle?

I want to hear what songs are on my iPod shuffle with their listed title , so I know what to keep and what to delete.
Because, when you know you want to delete some songs, but do not remember all the titles.

Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES. The next step depends on whether your shuffle is 1st or 2nd gen, or if it is 3rd or 4th (current) gen. If you don't know, this article shows the four types
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1719
1st or 2nd gen - Look over to the right and click on the Contents tab. That screen shows the list of songs currently on the shuffle. You should be able to play them off the list. With a 1st or 2nd gen shuffle, when you do this, you are actually playing the song file that is in your iTunes library (on computer), not the song file that is currently stored on the shuffle (but they should be the same).
3rd or 4th gen - Click on the little triangle next to the shuffle (in sidebar) to "drop down" the iTunes media categories (indented under shuffle). Select Music. Over to the right, you should see a list of songs that are currently on the shuffle. If you have the shuffle set to Manually manage music (on the shuffle's Summary tab), you should be able to play them off the list. If you use automatic syncing, the song list should be visible, but "grayed out" (not accessible); you need to play the songs from the playlist(s) you sync automatically to the shuffle (in your iTunes library).

Itunes not playing songs properly

Itunes is playing SOME (not all) songs halfway, then skips to the next track. Some songs are missing entirely (they're listed, but when clicked doesn't play at all). Some songs is half of the right song, then is mixed with another song from another artist.
This happened before I updated to the new Itunes, did the update but still the problem persists.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

I have the exactly same problem. iTunes corrupted my entire library, 20GB of MP3s, all of them play a few seconds and then go back to the beggining. Using a sound editor I can see that it actually copied the first seconds of all songs and added it to the beggining. The number of seconds is not consistent on all the MP3s, some play 2 seconds and then go back to the beggining while others can play over 12 seconds before going back to the beggining. This happened after I noticed some of my older MP3s had an old version of the ID3Tags, so I used iTunes to convert my entire library's ID3Tag to the newer version. This happened about 2 years ago and I had no backup of my original files. The only fix to this problem I've found until now is to manually remove this extra seconds from the beggining of each MP3, but it's impossible to do that with over 5000 songs.

Track names and other data not showing up in CD burned in iTunes

Made a playlist today from songs in my library which have all data, selected "write CD text" in the burn dialogue box,burned the CD. When I reinserted into my computer and it mounted in iTunes there was no track or other info,title was "audio CD" and iTunes tried to connect to Gracenotes where, of course, the info was not found.
This is a new problem. Previous playlists burned to disc always had the info.
Just for fun I burned the playlist in Toast 8.0.4 (the latest version my iMac PPC can run), and again checked the box to have the CD text burned to the disk.
Again when I reinserted the CD burned in Toast all I got was "audio CD", the correct number of tracks and no other info.
Has something changed in iTunes recently?
TIA
Caroline

Anyone?
per HT3814:
Remembering audio CDs you burn
iTunes also "remembers" every audio CD you burn. However, the CD and track names are not burned onto the CD itself. If you insert the burned audio CD into another computer, or even log in as another user, the CD will be titled "Audio CD", and will have generic track names. Since the track length and the overall CD length is the same as the store-bought album, iTunes finds the information for the store-bought album when it looks the CD up online.
So why does this no longer work on my iMac?
It DID work for a playlist from multiple ripped CD's a year or so ago--has this changed in the newer iterations of iTunes?

How do you get Itunes to go the free radio station list, I'm not talkiing about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that lists about 50 diffrent genes.

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
But answering quickly, if you mean the streaming stations, click the Internet item:
If you don't see that item, checkmark "Internet Radio" in the General preferences in iTunes.

In my Itunes account, I can not see my list of songs in my files, nor can I look for individual songs in the Itunes store. Basically, anywhere there are list, I can not see them. What can I do to fix this problem?

I am having trouble with my Itunes account on Windows XP . I can not see any list in my music files. The songs are there but I have to click on each song to see what it is. Also, in the itunes store, I can not see any pull down list or use my search bar. This happened when Itunes updated it's look. I can pull it up on my phone and see all of my purchased music. I would really appreciate knowing how to fix this problem. Thank you.

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

TS1424 I downloaded an album, but most of the songs are incomplete. The itunes list shows the appropriate song length, but the actual songs are not completely downloaded - meaning it does not give me the option of finishing the download.

I purchased a complete album, but most songs are only about a minute in duration rather than their actual lengths. The times showing indicate the full song was downloaded, but in reality, its like listening to a sample. I want to get entire songs, but the itunes list shows it as downloaded, so it does not seem to give me the option to download again. I sure would like to get what I paid for. Any suggestions?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HT1391 I have purchased a song from itune but it is not listed under my purchased items, why

I have purchased a song from itune but it is not listed under my purchased items, why

By 'purchased items' do you mean the Purchased link under Quick Links in the store ? If you do then do other songs that you've purchased appear there (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ?

Itunes is not connecting songs with data (my itunes is a mess)

For some reason, i have two itunes folders and my libraries got seperated at one point. There are alot of songs in my library that itunes cannot locate original file. I found the folder that has all these songs. I added this folder by adding the whole folder which was called "itunes06" to the itunes folder and then I also added the whole folder by using "file>add to libary" in itunes. Now all of the songs are in itunes however the rating was not matched up with the songs.
Now I have alot of duplicate songs. Each duplicate has a file that cannot find the original with the rating. The songs that can be located are missing the rating data. I have hundreds of songs that I went through and rated at one point in time, and there is no way I am going to do all that again. Why is the data not being linked to the newly added songs. Is it because I have all the songs "itunes06" in its own folder that is in the "itunes" folder. Should I moved all the contents (songs) from itunes06 to the itunes folder? If i did this would the data be linked?

Your Itunes can only have one folder. To set it up correctly go to iTunes preferences. Then go to Advanced.
You will see where your music should be in the folder location window. It will say something like /Volumes/HD/iTunes Music. All you music should be in this folder, if it is not then it will not work correctly.
If you want to use another folder you must do it from here by clicking the change button at the right hand side of the location window.
