Likely the CD JukeBox will not accept CD-R discs.
Have you used burned CDs on it previously?

Itunes 5.1 won't burn mp3 to audio cd

Since upgrading to 5.1 I can't burn audio cd's from mp3 files anymore. Not just in itunes, but in RecordNow as well. All my music in itunes are mp3's and it was never a problem before to burn them into an audio file. In RecordNow I can still make data cd's and burn directly from cd to cd, but it also doesn't let me burn from mp3 to audio anymore. It seems that itunes 5.1 placed something in the registry that blocks converting mp3 to .wav. Does anyone know anything about this? The 5.1 upgrade has made my computer useless and Apple isn't saying anything about this at all.

This makes me believe that the latest upgrade created a serious conflict in my registry and I'm wondering if apple is doing anything to fix it.
have you submitted any CD diagnostics to Apple yet, Michael?
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/cddiagnostics/
have you been able to find any troubleshooting information on the topic at the RecordNow-related websites? (googles on combinations of "RecordNow", "itunes" and "error" might pick up some independent troubleshooting, too.)
if you find any useful references, would you mind reporting back with links for us? if it really is a conflict between your version of RecordNow and itunes 5.0.x, other people will presumably be in your situation, and any information you turn up could be helpful for them too.

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?

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

I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.I have tried different speeds but every time it ays failed due to media write error.Can anyone help what to do?

I am unable to burn mp3 audio files to cd.Every time it says failed due to media write error.I have tried different speeds.Can anyone help pls?

There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):

Burning mp3 audio book cds

I have mp3 formatted audio book cds that I cannot listen to using my CD player in my car but will play on my computer. I tried burning it onto a CD via iTunes but the result is the same thing. It'll play on my computer but not on the CD player in my car.
Is this because my CD player is not formatted to play mp3? Is there a way I can convert mp3 to a more conventional format during the burning process?? Do I have to use a special CD to burn an audio CD?
Or is it the way I have the preferences set up in my iTunes's Importing and Burning options?? FYI, I have them set to "Import Using: MP3 Encoder" and "Burning: Audio CD."

Flag, are you using CD-R or CD-RW media? Most stereos don't read CD-RW.

Burning MP3's on DVD

Has anyone successfully burned MP3's on a DVD and were able to play them back on a regular set-top DVD player that claims to be able to play MP3's?

You can burn an mp3 DVD with Toast but it is an audio-only disc. In my case, I can't play an mp3 DVD on my DVD player.
You also can burn a "music DVD" with Toast 7 (or with Toast 6 if you also have Jam 6 - but it's features aren't as good). In this case the audio must be converted either to 48 khz LPCM (which is uncompressed like AIFF) or to 48 khz AC-3. Those are the audio formats that meet the video DVD spec. What's happening here is Toast is creating a video DVD that is all audio except for the thumbnail images and menus that display on the TV. By the way, the thumbnail graphic is the album art you have connected to the track in iTunes. You can change this in Toast. AC-3 likely will be smaller, not larger, than your MP3 files. However, Toast 7 gives you the option to set higher or lower bitrates for the AC-3 encoding.
I haven't yet created one of these in Toast 7. But in Toast 6 I did encounter some difficulty with some MP3 conversions. Toast would simply stall while trying to convert some tracks. Apparently there were defects in the file that weren't audible to me when playing from iTunes. I identified which tracks were the problem ones and used iTunes to create and AIFF copy. Replacing the mp3 with the AIFF fixed the issue.
I'm mentioning this because it does take time to create one of these music DVDs.

Burning mp3 cds on zen mirco softw

the creative solutions software has apparently got a default setting for its mp3 burn list thats alphabetical which means no matter what order i put the tracks (theres lots of them) on the list it reorders them. which is a complete wind up. also the file names in joliet? script will only be accepted if they are less than 64 characters which many of them arent.can anybody help please.
regards lloyd

- First of all, lloydlove is burning a data CD, not audio CD. My guess is that when he replied SSR that he is burning "audio", he was actually referring to burning MP3 files into a MP3 data CD.
- When burning in to an MP3 data CD, the notion of track order does not apply. There is no such thing as track order for MP3 data CD. An MP3 data CD simply contains MP3 files. You can choose to view the files in whichever order you want by clicking the Windows Explorer's column. For example, to view by Filename order, by file date order, etc. You can also view by artist order, album order if you enable the artist and album column in WIndows Explorer. So, this is not a problem with MediaSource.
- The current MediaSource uses Joliet format. I do not see any settings to use otherwise. So, for now, you have to bear with the limitation of the filename.

Burning mp3 cds using AAC files

How can I burn mp3 cds using AAC files from iTunes?

You can't burn MP3 CDs from MP4 (AAC) files. You have to convert the AAC files in in iTunes to MP3 before you can burn them to MP3 disc.
You can use iTunes to convert any copy protection free songs in your library another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. If you are using iTunes 8 go to iTunes>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings, change your option to MP3 for example. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
One exception to this are standard copy protected songs (if you haven't upgraded to iTunes Plus versions) purchased from the iTunes Music Store which can't be directly converted due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. However you can burn these to an Audio CD which will work like any regular CD.

Copying/Burning mp3 files to CD (80 minutes)

I've been trying to copy an .mp3 file that is exactly 79 mins and 58 secs long to CD (2 secs shy of 80 mins). Every time I try I receive an error stating the destination disc will not fit onto the 80 minute CD-R. Is there a reason for this and if so is there a way around it?

Ok... First I tried to use the .mp3 file to burn it within iTunes. Then it said it couldn't burn the play list which got me thinking iTunes was interpreting the entire play list. So I moved the individual .mp3 file to a new playlist and tried. Still iTunes wouldn't allow the .mp3 to be burned onto the audio CD and asked me if I wanted to span the discs. So I created another play list which contained the smaller version of the converted .mp3 -> .wav file. It worked flawlessly and in 2 mins the entire CD was complete.
So there must be something to do with the size of the file(s) as well as the amount of time of the files for Audio CDs.
You maybe right about it shortening the file during the conversion but I tried twice and came out with the same exact amount of time for the .wav files. This leads me to believe both the size of the file and the amount of time (at least within iTunes) must be the issue.
I also (previously) attempted to burn it using Roxio's Toast but had no success burning the large .mp3 file to an audio CD that way either.
iTunes did give me the option to split the file between multiple discs but this is not the result I was looking for...
Either way.. The .wav file is now on an audio CD and I played the entire disc and it worked fine. I didn't even notice a difference in the sound quality between the lower 32 khz sample rate and the discarded 44Khz sample rate. Both the .mp3 and .wav sounded near the same - I did leave it at 16 bit stereo though.
So, problem solved for now I guess. Now, I need to burn the 2nd disc which shouldn't be a problem as the files do not span the total amount of time or file size of a standard 80min/700mb CD.
The more I think about it the more it makes sense. In an .mp3 file the data is compressed; with the .wav file the data is not compressed and is purely raw data. So turning .mp3 files into an audio CD does not necessarily mean it will fit on a standard CD even if the time allotment states it will fit via .mp3 files.
I never ran into this issue before but it's kind of interesting how it all worked out.

Cannot burn mp3 or data cds

I cannot burn mp3 or data cds. Each attempt spoils the disk and causes the report "You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click ignore."
Please Help!

If it burns audio OK then it would not be the discs. Try one of these programs for burning and see if they do the trick.

Troubles burning mp3 cds

i'm able to burn audio cds fine but whenever i attempt a mp3 cd, it is never able to finish during the "finishing" stage. it usually just freezes. this whole process is very strange to me considering i used to burn mp3 cds several times a week a few months ago then i took a break, now this happens...
any suggestions?
also, i have already uninstalled and reinstalled as well as performed a system restore.
im blank

I am rumming Windows XP and the latest version of Itunes 7.1. The question I have is this, does music have to be stored on the hard disk in MP3 format in order to burn an MP3 CD? In reading the documentation I get different answers.

Convert mp3 to Audio CD or .cda

Hi,
I have MP3 files and I'm trying to burn a disc as and audio cd format (.cda)or something that will work on my regular cd player.
I'm new with Itunes and I'm do not know how to do it? Before I have this new MAC I did it with NERO burner just selecting the audio cd option.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this matter.
Thanks in advance.

If you are using iTunes 8, create a playlist of the songs you want to burn. Click on the playlist to open/highlight it and insert a blank disc, Choose "Burn Disc", the button is down in the right hand corner. A dialogue box will open with you various burn options, choose "Audio CD"

Cannot burn MP3

Burning works in "audio CD" format but not when I try to burn in MP3 format.
I have Itunes 8. I go to burn a playlist onto a blank CD in MP3 format as I have done many times. I click Burn, make sure its set for MP3 and it starts up checking playlist then initializes for a few seconds then suddenly it says "burning & finalizing" as if it has finished the disc. The CD ejects after being in only a few seconds and I get a message saying the disc did not burn due to internal error. Any suggestions? None of my settings has changed. I have done this dozens of times in the past without incident.
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
From my experience it's the file that has the problem and won't burn, is it a particular file or all mp3 files?
Kind Regards,
Peter.

7.6.2-burned mp3 CDs won't play in players that 7.5-burned versions did

I have discovered yet another beef with iTunes 7.6.2... does anyone else have this problem?
mp3 CDs burned in iTunes 7.6.2 on my Intel iMac will not play in my car player, while identical mp3 CDs burned in itunes 7.5x on my iBook G4 WILL play in my car player (too bad my main library is on the iMac). The 7.6.2-burned CD's will play in my son's new car player, but not mine, which is a couple years older.
What the heck??? Is there some hidden change that now mp3 CDs burned in the newest iTunes will only play in some kinds of players, whether or not the players are all marked as mp3 compatible?
What does anyone know about this issue?
Because i have to decide whether to buy a new car stereo, or deinstall 7.6.2 and go back to some earlier version (i really don't like to navigate iPod menus while driving, i prefer CDs, so using an iPod instead isn't a good solution for me). or is it the intel iMac that is causing the problem? It doesn't matter what burner or user account i use- i tried an external burner, and i tried another user account. The burned files are identical, they aren't an issue.
I am in OS 10.4.11 on the iMac and 10.4.7 on the iBook, if that makes any difference (frankly, i'm afraid to upgrade the iBook to newest versions at this point).

Just on a hunch.
Pop one of your 7.6.2 burned MP3 disks in a computer and check if the music is nested in folder by the Artist and Album. Then do the same with one of your older burned disks.
Some older units will not accept MP3 disks with the media grouped in folders. I found this to be the case on a couple of MP3 capable machines that are just a few years old.
My current version of iTunes (7.7 needed for the iPhone v2) seems to only burn MP3 files nested in folders. I found a machine that had not been updated and was still running iTunes 7.0.2 and burned an MP3 disc with all the files numbered and in the root of the disc.
Also, make some older MP3 units do not like the variable bit rate and may also be choosy about the bit rate is. ie 128 vs 160 vs 320
