Burning Purchased Music - Help!

Anyone who has time to help, I would greatly appreciate it!
Issue:
Any attempt to burn purchased music to CD results in a disc that will not play in any of 4 CD players I own (home stereo, car, portable, etc.)
Facts:
--Audio CD is checked in Preferences
--Using Sony media
--Have tried Burning/Ripping back to iTunes/Burning technique
--Have tried Burning ripped tracks through Toast
--Have not exceeded 7 burn limit
20" iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I am using CD-R. I tried a different brand of media...same result. The cd players seem to recognize the disc and display the right amount of tracks and time, but there is no audio...
Any other ideas?

Can Burn Ripped Music, Can't Burn Purchased Music

Help!!
Ever since installing 7.0.2 I can no longer burn purchased music to CD. Music I ripped from my own CDs burns just fine.
Data from desktop burns fine as well as music from other programs such as sonic and Windows Media Player. Actually iTunes worked fine until I upgraded to 7.0.2 from 6
I'm thinking ther must be some kind of problem with the protected MPEG4 that apple is using that is messing up CD burning
I have downloaded latest firmware, updated drivers, re installed IDE/ATA, Reinstalled iTunes, Re installed CD burner, tried every burn speed from fastest down to 1x, Turned off spam & spyware, turned off firewall, turned off virus prtection made, Made sure IMAP CD settings are set to automatic and started.
Nothing works. I'm at my wits end and getting very frustrated because I have hundreds of dollars of purchased music that is now stuck on my computer and won't burn.

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

Help!!

I don't understand, we buy this music for a buck a piece, and then when you want to make an mp3 cd to play in your car, like i have( i can make one cd with 150 songs)or what ever , we can't even do that. I also have an ipod but i don't bring it into my car all the time. I thought that because we are buying the music and technically we own them, that we can use the music which ever way that you want. And now we have to buy a converter if we want to make mp3 cd's. I have resorted to spending my money on cd's to make cd's of my protected files, just to rip them back on my computer again as an mp3 song, remove the protected songs, and all this to do what i thought we could do with our purchases music because, oh i don't know, call me crazy, we were able to before!!! All i now see is that we have to spend money to get our music to spend money to change our music to use it the way we want to, to spend our money to make our own cd's. The operative words, spending our money. Does anyone find this absolutely rediculous? Anyone ever hear the phrase "Don't fix it if it ain't broke"? Anyone else frustrated?

Burning purchased music loses playlist

when I burn purchased music from itunes, the file info, artist, song name etc is all lost, just track numbers on the new disc...i do not have this problem burning songs I have ripped from cds i own, so settings must be right.
any ideas?
second thing...
I can not convert itunes purchased files to any other format, and the default format being burned my home and car cd player does not recognize...any ideas on that one?
thank you.

rolexman111,
Second thing first:
The iTMS sells copy-protected .m4p files that can only be listened to on an authorized computer.
Furthermore, the files cannot be converted to other formats.
As the previous link suggests, though, what you can do is burn an Audio CD of the purchased music and listen to that CD or use it in any way you would a "normal" CD.
EDIT:
Ooops, I forgot about the first thing ...
What's unusual is that you say you were able to view the song information previously because iTunes does not put that information into burned Audio CD's.
Have a look at:

Is it possible you were burning data CD's previously?

You have two options: (1) You can use iTunes to burn the tracks onto *audio CD,* which can be used just like any other *audio CD.* (2) You can upgrade the songs to non-DRM "iTunes Plus" versions for 30 cents apiece.

Where is the "majic button or link" to burn purchased music?

I cannot figure out how to get my purchased music from the computer to CD/R. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Unable to burn purchased music

Hi there.
Just downloaded the latest version of itunes today.
However....
Am getting a message when trying to burn purchased songs to a disc saying "None of the files can be burned to an mp3 disc".
I never had this problem before when had the older verison of itunes.
Is it because they are protected aac tracks, and if so is there anyway around this?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Hi "shawn1982",
You can't burn AAC tracks to an MP3 CD - you need to change your burn settings to Data CD/DVD in order to do this.
Hope this helps,
-Travis

You need to use a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Purchased music help!!

How do I make that appear on my purchased music? I know it's not a big deal but I'd like to have it show up on my Music app and the info page on iTunes.

Late Bloomer,
With your library in Songs view, click View > Show View Options, and you will see a complete list of the data columns that can be displayed.
Unfortunately, label and copyright information are not among them.

How do I burn purchased music to DVD

I tried doing it straight from iTunes and it wouldn't play on my dvd player. Any suggestions?

James, in addition to what macmenno has said you should also know that the only types of DVD disc iTunes will burn are data DVDs. This is why the disc would not play in your DVD player, there was no information on the disc readable by the player. iTunes will only burn audio to 74 or 80 minute CD-R.
You can use Roxio Toast to burn DVD Music discs from unprotected audio content, although these are not DVD-Audio discs, which is another format different from DVD Music.

Burning purchased music to cd

i have seen other posts regarding this, but haven't seen a solution yet. Is there a period of time between purchasing and burning a cd? I have made sure that it goes down as a audio cd due to the fact that the song has AAC. I did a diagnostic on it but not really sure what I should be looking for. All the other songs that were already on my computer downloaded fine, except the one i just purchased. You would think that would be the one without a problem.
Please help me as my son is freaking out about this as music is his life.

I've found that checking the Sound Check checkbox in the Burning preferences (as well as making sure that you have selected Audio CD) makes the CD more universally readable. I have no idea what Sound Check actually does -- other than making the CD play in more car stereos.

Burning Purchased Music

I am having trouble burning my purchased songs to CD's. I have added them to an existing playlist and it starts to burn ok then stops and says unable to burn to CD as copy protected.
What can I do?

I would drag the folder on top of the Library in iTunes. That way iTunes will import the tunes and take care of file management and housekeeping. Check to make sure "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder" is checked in the General tab of the Advanced section of iTunes' Preferences. iTunes will copy the songs from the folder on the shared drive, so after you know everything is imported ok, the folder on the shared drive is no longer needed unless you want to keep it as a backup.
If "Play songs while importing" is checked in the Importing section of Advanced Preferences, then as soon as one song is imported it will automatically try to start playback. You should then have to authorize that song. If it is not checked, then after everything is imported you can double-click on a song to start it playing and then authorize the computer.
Also, if the computers are on a network, you probably don't have to transfer any songs. Open Preferences on both machines and under the Sharing tab check off "Look for shared music" and "Share my music". Under "Share my music" you can choose all or you can select certain playlists. A computer on a network told to look for music will see what has been selected to be shared on another computer on the network.
