Burning music disc

I deleted iTunes from my mini mac because I just dont get along with it well. Ive been using VLC as a music player instead.
Now I want to burn a cd of music for my wife. Other than re-installing iTunes, is there a way to burn a musc CD in OSX? Or is there perhaps a recomened program for such a task?
Thank you

How Do I Burn a Music Disc with Files Names Included?

Hi,
Is it possible to burn a music disc and somehow include the file names so when it is opened in another iTunes (or mine) it will have the track listing there?
Thanks!
James [email protected]

As iTunes does not support CD Text you can't include track information on a AudioCD.
As a workaround you may "Submit Track Names" to CDDA through iTunes Menu Advanced after having burned a CD.

Cant burn a disc, cant play music and surf the web, cant cant cant ***

Ok so why is it that if I am listening to music with itunes I cant even do simple things without it skipping and sounding horrible. Also every time I try to burn my music to a disc I get an error “unknown disc error 4261” *** is this. oh I am using itunes 6 as I heard that 7 was far worse than this brilliant piece of work. Now how come I can use windows media player wile I use adobe premier and photo shop at the same time. I have a farly decent compi so why is it that itunes cant do anything worth wile other than put music on my ipod. btw my ipod is going to go on eBay just as soon as I can figure out how to get my paid for music from itunes onto cd. Itunes dosnt offer the ablility to chand the setting wile burning a disc or any of that. is there a special apple itunes cdr that I need to buy that cost $100 for a 2meg. What is an unknown disc error 4261 I cant even fix whats wrong and my compi says nothing is wrong. I am able to burn data disks for school no problem. I am trying to burn the music onto to light scribe cdr’s I did try some cheepo disks but that didn’t work so I figured it didn’t like the old disks and hey I can use the discs in my car so why not. Itunes has done nothing but **** me the f off since I got it and all I want to do is get rid of it but im sure they will not refund me the money for the music so I want it on disk and in a useful player like media player.

and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

HT203164 Why won't the song titles transfer with the music when I burn to disc and play on another device?

Why won't the song titles transfer with the music whaen I burn to disc and play or copy to another program?

Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

I tunes: when trying to burn a playlist I keep getting the message: the attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to. I am using version 12

I tunes: I am using version 12 of I tunes. Ever since downloading it I get the message when trying to burn a playlist it says, The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disc could not be read from or written to.
I uninstalled V-12 and then reinstalled it. This enabled me to burn a disc again but after a couple of tries I received the same error message again. Has Apple put out a fix to this problem that anyone is aware of?
Thanks.

Hi rossfrombluffton,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resource below provides some general things to consider when burning a disc with iTunes. I would also try burning a music CD and a data disc from a different application in the Windows OS and trying a different brand CD just to confirm the issue is not with the optical drive.
Can't burn a CD in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-ae/HT203173
Find out what to do if you can't burn an audio CD using iTunes for Windows. Sometimes an audio disc may not burn as expected. Here are some things to check.
Update iTunes
Download and install the latest version of iTunes for Windows.Check for unauthorized songs
iTunes will stop burning a disc if you purchased one or more of the songs in a playlist from the iTunes Store and the songs aren't authorized to play on your computer. This message should appear: "Some of the files can not be burned to an audio CD. Do you still want to burn the remainder of this playlist? For more information on why some files can not be burned, click below."
To find out which songs aren't authorized, play each song in the playlist. Songs that play are authorized. Songs that don't play aren't authorized. You'll be asked to authorize any unauthorized songs.Make sure your playlist will fit on a single CD
If there are too many songs in a playlist to fit on a single CD, iTunes should ask if you want to burn multiple discs or cancel the burn. This message should appear: "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD. Do you want to create multiple Audio CDs with this playlist split across them? This will require more than one blank CD to complete."
If you click the Audio CDs button, the burn will continue and you'll be asked to insert blank CDs until the playlist is completely burned. If you click cancel, the burn will be canceled.
To make the playlist shorter so that it will fit on a single CD, select a song to remove from the playlist and choose Edit > Clear. Repeat this step until the duration of the playlist is between 60 and 80 minutes. The duration appears at the top of the playlist window. Most CD-R discs can hold 60 to 80 minutes of music.
Check how many times you've burned the playlist
An unchanged playlist that contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store can be burned no more than seven times.Additional steps and submitting feedback

iTunes for Windows doesn't recognize my audio CDs

How can I burn music from my iTunes library to CD, while still keeping the track info intact?

I made several CDs for a friend, but when my friend imported the disc into iTunes none of the track names showed up (it just said "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.) This is annoying because it was 8 CDs worth of music (over 150 songs!)
Is there a software or any tool I can use that will allow me to burn music for friends, while still keeping the track info intact?

Yes. Click on this link to purchase gift cards for your friends. They will get nice new tracks with all correct tags.

The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4310).

I have been able to burn CDs from music I bought off iTunes. I haven't had any problems until now.
I just purchased Mike Doughty's Haughty Melodic, the whole album. Everytime it gets almost done burning, it gives this error:
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (4310)."
I have wasted 3 blank CDs trying to burn this. I have a lot of experience with computers, I know there is nothing wrong with my hardware.
Is this is a problem with one of the files? Is there some kind of sub-routine that iTunes runs when trying to burn a CD? I have no idea why this is happening.
Anyone have some advice?
Thanks

Error message: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error"

Anyone having this error message after attempting to burn a disc?
I have 6 discs sitting here ruined after this happened consistently.
Called Apple tech support. Said they never heard of this.
What can I do to resolve? Tried doing the iTunes update and that does not appear to have helped. I am beyond frustrated. To not be able to burn all my purchased music to cd's is not making me a happy camper.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix?
Thanks for all suggestions..

Hey guys, having same type of problem and figured I would throw in my 2 cents. I was getting "error 4000"; i Googled that and followed the procedures for going to my control panel, add/remove and clicking repair. I tried a burn again, also paying attention to previous notes and lowered my write speed to 8X. Same error, different number, this time 4261. I found this thread so I decided to paste my info too, but i do notice the last line of code reads "speed 10X". Hope this helps? I have burned plenty of CDs before, I am burning a mix of MP3 and MP4, amazon and apple purchased, and using older memorex CD-R. They say "recordable, 52X, 700mb, 80 min" at the top. Hope it helps and thanks for the time and effort on here!

The attempt to burn a disc failed, unknown error (261). Can't back up to CD

The attempt to burn a disc failed, unknown error (261). I get this message every time I try to back up my music from itunes on to a CD. It doesn't matter if I try to back up all music or only music purchased from itunes. So far I have not been able to back up anything. Can someone please help me!!!! I have tried everything on the support website from apple, and nothing has worked. I am beginning to get very frustrated.
Thanks

+I know my computer is up to date on firmware, because I just bought this laptop 4 months ago - it's a brand new Dell Inspiron 1721.+
Actually, in that case I definitely think you should check your firmware. I just had a look at the 32-bit Vista downloads page at Dell for your Inspiron 1721, and there's firmware updates listed there for four different drive models, all dated within the last four months.
Head to the following Dell page and enter your model information to get to your Downloads page:

HT1751 On an old Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean? And how do I work around it?

On an older Mac I got this message while trying to burn a CD for the car: "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The burn failed because of a medium write error." What does this mean? And how do I work around it?

I had been getting this all morning and checked other messages from the community. THe one which worked was trying a different brand of disc.
I had been using Verbatim which had copied the music fine off the Real Player on my PC at school, but wouldn't work with I Tunes. Tried a Staples and an Office Depot CD-R , both of which did the job.

I own an eMac. I really enjoy burning my iTunes playlists to a cd. But, now an error message pops up just after iTunes prepares the disc for burning.The message states this: The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-3). Any advice?

Hey everyone! So, here is my problem. I own an eMac. I enjoy burning my iTunes playlists to a CD. Well, all of a sudden, right after iTunes prepares the disc for burning an error message pops up and says this: The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (-3). Any suggestions on how to correct this problen so I can continue burning my playlists???
Thanks,

Hi, I'e never heard of that error before!???
Is this purchased music, or your own music files?

Burn error (disc image)

All of a sudden, iDVD 5.0.1 won't burn a disc image. Gets to some point through the process (might be half way, might be right through), then says, "Burning completed. Some errors were found during the burn process". Doesn't create any file at all. Have tried buring a few different projects, with the same result.
Any clues?

I am having exactly the same problem. My iDVD project started in iPhoto as a "saved slideshow". I have followed all of the steps as provided in two 3rd party manuals -- Jim Heid's "iLife '05" and David Pogue's "iMovie and iDVD 5 -- the Missing Manual". I have even done a "Project Archive" file as the basis to burn the iDVD to ensure that all the resources are together and available. My project consists of a 24 minute slideshow comprised of 230 photos all with "Burns Effect" panning and zooming and with a background music track. This was sent to iDVD from the iPhoto commands. The "Memories" theme was applied with text modification, changes to the font style text location and color, and changed audio selection. A second slideshow was added which consisted of an archive of all the photos used in the original, plus some added ones that were not used. This added a second button on the main menue with three sub-menues on a secondary menu, where the photos were automatically broken down by iDVD into three groups of photos of less than 100 each for a total playing time of approximately 6 minutes (1 sec per photo). The project was then saved and archived. Everything plays fine up to this point. The total memory of the saved archived project file is 2.86 Gb. The rendering and processing time for iDVD to create the disk image (.img) file exceeded 5 hours. I've tried to generate the disk image three times. Like Jim White, in one case after nearly 3 hours, the program put out an error message saying that errors had been encountered and the processing was being aborted. In the two other cases, the processing went the complete 5+ hours; gave a message that the "burning was finished, but that some errors had been found (on verification?) and produced NO FILE.
I am using a Mac G4/1.25 Ghz MDD , Mac OS-10.4.2 with 768Mb RAM and 13.5 Gb of available hard drive storage at the beginning of disk image processing; with iPhoto 5.0.4 and iDVD 5.0.1.
I have no experience with earlier versions of iDVD, so I can't say if this is a problem created by the 5.0.1 update, or the upgrade to Tiger. In any case, this is extremely poor error coding, especially considering the amount of time required for the image processing -- i.e.to state after 5 hours that an error was found which aborts or invalidates the burn without providing any clue as to what or where the error was -- this makes the entire software package of virtually NO VALUE.
Your comments, please!

Why isn't itunes letting any one burn a disc

I have itunes 11.0.4 with a Windows 8 program . It will not allow to burn a disc or back up discs as the older versions did. This is very upsetting because my friends were depending on me to help save their vinyl recordings to disc. I can print a jewel case track list and cover art , but burn a disc NO. I keep getting UNKNOWN ERROR 4310. In my estimation this is a terrible loss for people trying to help other people keep music not available on cd. Who ever thought of this needs their head examined. I can't possibly be the only one trying to do save the vinyl to cd. Please itune give back that capability . Also the Ez Vinyl program does not work in itunes as has done on older versions , how about all you companies getting together and straighten this mess out. Signed A Sad Old Guy

What if you have an IPhone? There are no alternatives.
iTunes 7 is the slowest application on my computer. Autocad and Photoshop start twice as fast on my computer as iTunes does. I think that Apple should rewrite the whole application. It's not an easy task but if Apple wants to keep making money of iTunes it's needed to be done.
Not everyone has processing power of my or better machine, imagine running iTunes on a single core CPU with some older hardware and having 10000 songs, podcasts, audiobooks and movies in the library. NIGHTMARE!!!
