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?

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?

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!

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.

Why can't I burn mp3 files in the order I choose? iTunes alphabetizes!

I have set up a playlist in the exact order I want the songs to go--in alpha order by album, but no matter what I do, when I try to burn the playlist, iTunes burns it in alpha order by song title.
Tell me that this is not the only way iTunes will allow you to burn playlists, please.

Hey - thanks for the pointer to the help doc, but it doesn't make sense to me -- the first hint says:
How to burn by playlist order
1. Create your playlist.
2. Click "Song" to sort the playlist by song.
3. Make sure the songs are in the order you want to hear them on the CD.
4. Click Burn CD.
5. Insert a blank CD and burn the disc.
#2 - Click "Song" to sort the playlist by song... ? So, where is this mysterious "song" button to click? Right now, I have it sorted by artist, because that's how I'd like it to play, but I don't see an option for song. And at the moment, no matter what I select to sort it by, it burns in alphabetical order by song title.
None of this makes sense to me.

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...

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.

I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago. Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info. Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song. No Audio CD it seems to function OK. The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago. I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc. It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit. Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info. Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD. On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up. The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference. In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data. I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
Any Thoughts?
Jim

This may help. Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder. These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation. Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have. What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive) Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3 As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck. And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck. I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier. Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
Hope this helps ~rich

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.

Burning audio discs in exact order of play list

I have looked at some discussion re this topic but it is all old and the problem seems not to be resolved. When I burn a disc, it places all the tunes out of order, so when I print the cover sheet playlist, it doesn't match with what is burned on the disc. This is just not acceptable. What can be done to resolve this rather irritating problem? duc13

OK, based on that info, I see the following at pcidatabase.com:
Device Id Chip Description                   Vendor Id Vendor Name
0x1077 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Mobile) 0x8086     Intel Corporation
0x4220 Intel 54 MBit/s Notebook WLAN Card    0x8086     Intel Corporation
Wired and wireless, respectively.
From this, please try installing the following two packages from your support site:
Intel PRO/1000 LAN adapter software
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-r-series-laptops/thinkpad-r51/downloads/DS004058
Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) for Windows XP, 2000 - ThinkPad
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-r-series-laptops/thinkpad-r51/downloads/DS003878
Once done, you should be able to connect via your choice of wired or wireless, and then be able to use the TVSU application to check for other drivers.
Regards.

Using AppleScript with Toast to burn MP3 disc

I'm trying to get Toast to add all the subfolders of a chosen folder to a new MP3 Disc. The attached script works fine except it adds the source folder, then puts all the subfolders inside it.
IE Disc layout becomes
Source Folder
----> subfolder 1
----> subfolder 2
How do I add just the subfolders of folderSelected?
set folderSelected to choose folder "Select a folder"
tell application "Finder"
set folder_name to name of folderSelected
end tell
tell application "Toast Titanium"
activate
set myDisc to make MP3 disc
set name of myDisc to folder_name
add to myDisc items folderSelected
end tell

Sorted it with a small code change:
set folderSelected to choose folder "Select a folder"
tell application "Finder"
set folder_name to name of folderSelected
set sourceList to every folder of folderSelected
set NoOfFolders to number of items in sourceList
end tell
tell application "Toast Titanium"
activate
set myDisc to make MP3 disc
set name of myDisc to folder_name
repeat with j from 1 to NoOfFolders
add to myDisc items (item j of sourceList as alias)
end repeat
end tell

ITunes no longer burning MP3 discs?

I am running iTunes 6.0.2 on my iBook which has, until recently, worked well. I don't know at what (upgrade) point things changed, but in the past when I created a long playlist and then selected 'burn' I would be told that the list is too long for a regular audio CD and then asked if I wanted to burn an MP3 CD. This no longer happens. Also, blank CDs no longer show up in the finder or on the desktop (so I can no longer put other files onto a blank disc); however, if I have a blank disc in the drive, I can burn a normal-length audio CD.
Please help.
R.

Thanks. Yes, the box you mention in Finder prefs it ticked. The problem is with blank discs, they do not show up anywhere on my computer when they are in the drive; even though iTunes 'sees' them enough to be able to burn them. However, I like to burn other data to discs too, but can no longer do it since the disc does not appear on the desktop or in the Finder.
Thanks again,
R.

Having trouble burning mp3 discs from media sou

hi all
is there any way i can stop mediasource re arranging a playlist when it tranfers it to the burn list. it puts it in alphabetical order, but i want it left in the order i have made the play list in. it only does this when i try to burn an mp3 cd
thank you

I too was wondering the same thing. My burn list jumbles them up by track number meaning several albums means all?the number tracks are together etc... instead of alphabetically. Is there any way of doing the burn list so that they burn in order at least by album? I have tried windows media player,?Yahoo music Jukebox and creative media source. one fo them will let me sort my burn list by album but when I select burn list it mixes them up again as it burn them. since mine does it by track # would it be possible to go into my music library and renumber my tracks from top to bottom?

Burning MP3 Discs

I am using AAC as the preferred format for ripping my CD collection in to iTunes. I'd like to take a couple of playlists and burn them to CD as MP3 format. Is there a way I can easily tell iTunes to burn an MP3 version of a playlist? My audio equipment that I want to play the CD in will recognize MP3 and not AAC, so I need to do this conversion but I can't figure an easy way to do it.
TIA.

Make a playlist of the songs you want on your MP3 CD. Select all the songs that playlist and convert the AAC songs to MP3. Do that by going to iTunes Preferences -> Import Settings and selecting the MP3 Encoder. The import settings also controls the "Create XXX Version" in the "Advanced" Menu. So an import setting of AAC Encoder gives you a "Create AAC Version" while an import setting of MP3 Encoder givez you a "Create MP3 Version".
iTunes will create another version of the songs in your playlist as MP3s. Sort your music library by "date added" and all your new MP3s will be at the top. Use them to make another playlist, arrange them in the order you want, and burn that to an MP3 CD (by selecting MP3 CD from the burn options).
Once you are finished, you can delete the MP3s from your music library. Don't forget to reset your import setting to AAC (or whatever you prefer).
That's the only way to burn an MP3 CD as iTunes must have the songs in MP3 format first.

Burning MP3 discs within specific folders

I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I have not seen any specific answers relating to folder structure.
I am specifically looking to create a disk with the following folder structure:
Genre, artist and then individual songs.
If I sort by play number everything goes into the root. If I sort by artist I get the folders: artist, album, individual songs. If I sort by genre I get the folders: genre, artist, album, individual songs.
Is there any way to specify the folder structure that winds up on the disk?

Creating folders is a matter of sorting your playlist. See this article for details...
