Can i burn multiple playlist to disc?

Is it possible to burn multiple playlist to one cd on my macbook pro? I do this all the time on pc. what i want to do is create several folders and drag mp3 files into them so that when i play them in the car i can jump from one playlist (or album) instantly.

I can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas, i can't burn a playlist to a disc, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas

i can't burn a playlist to a disc from itunes, it comes up with no supported disc burners found, any ideas?

Additional information:
-also ran "Repair" with new download of iTunes
-am using the same spindle of CDs that worked perfectly a month ago. Tried another brand also to be safe. None worked.
-ran CD/DVD diagnostics within iTunes with Apple Care - no issues apparent
-also tried write-speed 20X on advice of Apple Care (don't know why they thought 20X would be the magic number after the other 3 I tried didn't work)
-tried running itunes in another user account on the computer - same problem, same error code
-Apple suggested it was a copyright issue. I can't even burn music that I created/recorded myself, so that doesn't make sense.
-They thought maybe Quicktime wasn't installed properly, so we checked a film in Windows Media - it played, meaning Quicktime was fine apparently.
Solution:
Unclicked CD text option & Sound Check, ran burn from the File drop down menu (max speed) on a Philips CD-R and it worked! Had been right clicking the playlist name and selecting Burn option from there. That being said, it did not work on 2 other brands prior, with same settings. Not sure why. Just happy it's working again. Is it a brand issue?

New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk.

New problem. I can not burn a playlist to disk. The 'checking playlist' now takes about one second, looks very much like a malfunction here. Seems to initialize the disk - them moves straight into 'burning/finalizing disk' which also takes about one second. Then 'burning - finishing disk takes a little longer -
Error reading is "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The disk drive didn't respond properly an can't recover.'
This happend once before a while back and I thought it was 'too skinny disks'. Using 'printable disks; seemed to fix the problem - until now.
Blank cd's can be opened in the finder and files burnt to them.
DVD's can be burned from DVD Pro.
Music cd's and dvd's can be played.
Just can't burn the itunes playlist.

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

When burning a playlist to disc, how do you keep the songs in original order?

If you are burning an audio CD, they will burn in sequential order as in your playlist.
If you are burning an MP3 CD or a data CD, they will burn as individual files, and can be sorted any way you like when you view the CD. For an MP3 CD, the files will be prepended with a sequence number, so if you sort by filename, they will be in the original order.

Suddenly I can't burn any tunes to disc. I receive an error report - 4280. What's the problem? It all worked fine last week.

Can I burn to mini-DVD disc

Can I burn to mini-DVD discs on my iBook G4? I have a superdrive and I have burned the project succesfully on a regular DVD but the person that I am burning it for was told it had to be turned in on a mini-DVD.
Not knowing if the mini would be compatiable or possibly get stuck I was afraid to try it without some comformation that it has been done by someone else before. It is a work computer.
I tried to burn it on my sons PC and on my Mom's PC but neither worked. Neither acknowledges the mini-DVD.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Hi Amber,
as Scalz wrote, never put non-standard-sized/shaped disks into slot-in drives...!!
besides....
miniDVD can have two meanings:
* these %$§*? DVDcamcorders record on miniDVD (small diameter, but mainly DVD)
* and you are able to burn a DVDcontent (muxxed mp2 stream) onto a CD-R - that is also called miniDVD.... I was able to fit 10min onto such, but my DVDstandalone doesn't accept such disks....
my guess, the recipient of your project tries to use his DVDcamcorder as a DVDplayer.... wow....... you get "grown up" DVDplayers for 39$.....
many external burners accept these miniDVD-r... maybe, someone can borrow you such? and, my guess, iDVD doesn't accept them, you need to use Toast (as I did for my dvd-cd-r experiment)

I would consult the documentation of the mp4 player then.

Can not burn a Blu-ray disc

The problem: Can not burn a Blu-ray disc.
I open Premiere Elements 12 and load my project and then go to “publish and share” my project, I select "create Disc – Burn DVD, Blu-ray and AVCHD disc", I select "Blu-ray", the disc location and settings box opens and the “status” setting indicates "Media not present”. I know the Pioneer Blu-ray BDR-2208 drive works properly because I have already published regular DVDs in it and had no problems. I thought perhaps it was a problem with the initializing of the disc whether you choose (Mastered) as opposed to (Live File System). Neither works. I tired Phillips BD-R disc & Memorex BD-RE disc, neither works. The only thing I noticed was the burner location setting is indicating a Pioneer BDR-208M burner rather than a Pioneer BDR-2208 burner. Could this be the problem? Remember that burner will burn regular DVD's. Does Premiere Elements 12 require some other additional software on my computer to burn a Blu-ray disc? Also is there a list of compatible Blu-ray burners? BTW I am using Windows 8.1.

Attached is a screenshot of the dialog box that opens up when I place a regular DVD or Blu-ray in my desktop computer.
In order for me to burn a DVD project in premiere elements if I do not initialize the disc with the above procedure I receive a media not present in the settings box of premiere elements. I assumed I have to do the same thing with a Blu-ray too. I've tried following this procedure, also tried using the live file system. Also tried putting a fresh disc in without doing anything to it and always receive the media not present in the status setting. One suggestion has been that another program is interfering with premiere elements. I will also go out and purchase some Verbatim BD-RE disc, whether they work right now or not I can always use them later after I solve my problem.
I Have a lot of great suggestions from you guys and I really appreciate it. I'm going to work on some of those today starting with loading imgburn and see if I can indeed burn a Blu-ray disc with my system. I have already created a AVCHD BDMV file on my computer and I will start with trying to work with that and see if that is successful and then come back to premiere elements. I appreciate the input regarding Cyberlink software. I have version 8 (came with my Pioneer Blu-ray Drive) and was thinking about upgrading to the latest version but with your input regarding Power Producer I will save my money.
Another thought I had, with Blu-ray disc burners being as cheap as they are purchase one that has been proven to work with premiere elements 12.1. Time is money, the cost of a new Blu-ray burner is insignificant. I will consider this option later.

How can I burn a file to disc?

How can I burn a file to disc when the "Save" command is grayed out and can't be used and the Ctrl+S command doesn't work?

Hi Joanna,
What Adobe application are you working with? Are you working with a PDF file in Reader or Acrobat? Is the Save As command available? If you are using Acrobat/Reader, is the PDF password protected (do you see SECURED in the title bar)?
Best,
Sara

I can't burn my playlist. I have a playlist ready, a cd in and when I click "burn", it tells me the burner is busy.

I can't burn my playlist. I have a playlist ready, cd inserted, click burn playlist to cd, get the usual screen, click burn and get the message cd burner is busy". Also, the cd is now stuck and I can't get it out no matter what I try.

Is this resolved? I am having this issue too. So, is there an answer out there? Hum....

Burning multiple playlists?

Is it possible to burn multiple playlists to a CD at one time? Thanks.

In order to do this you will need to make a new playlist and drag all the playlists that you want to burn on one cd to the new playlist.
Hope this helps

How can I burn a playlist to a disc which will play in any CD player?

I am trying to burn a playlist to a disc that I can play in a CD player. I have a HP Lightscribe DVD/CD burner. The software is Cyberlink Power2Go. I have wasted two blank dvd discs so far. They will play on my computer, but that's not what I need. I want to play them in a regular CD player, such as I have in my truck.
When I choose "audio CD" I get a message that "I have chosen a CD but have inserted a blank DVD" and it won't let me choose anything else.

You need to burn onto CD-R or CD-RW discs. You cannot burn to a blank DVD disc for the purposes of playing CD-Audio. They are different media with different characteristics, just like you can't play a DVD in a CD player.

I can't burn a playlist because computer isn't authorized. Error shows old email address. How do I correct that?

Hi,
I created a playlist and I want to burn it to a disc. However, I got a message that stated that certain songs were not authorized to play on this computer. In the message box it listed an incorrect email address. I tried to change it but that didn't work I don't know how to correct it so all of the songs I chose can be burned to the disc. What do I do?
How do I deauthorized an old computer?

Hi Murphy1942,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some information on authorizing iTunes purchases that may help:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Cheers,

Creating a multiple playlist mp3 disc

I am trying to create an mp3 disc to play in my car with a few of my playlist in itunes, but I can't figure out how to put more than one playlist on a disc without all of the songs being filed into one list. help?

Using File > New playlist, create a new (temporary) playlist called "Burn Me Today." Drag in the songs from each individual playlist. Burn from that playlist, selecting the "MP3 CD" option.
When you are done, you can delete "Burn Me Today."
This process does not change the individual playlists in any way, so you will end up as you began, but will have tunes for the car.
But that makes one big playlist, which in the car appears a huge list of tracks.
What the OP wanted was each playlist to show up on the CD in the car, which works if they are in folders.

Can You Play Multiple Playlists Without User Intervention

Can you stack and play multiple playlists? ie if you had three playlists of 50 songs each, could you pick all three, play all the songs in the first playlist, when it is finished move automatically to the second playlist play its songs then automatically move to the third without user intervention? And if so, can you play each of these in shuffle mode?

There's no "impromptu" method of doing so that I know of.
As far as un-impromptu methods (it's always fun inventing words), it will depend on whether you want to listen to this mega-playlist on an iPod or just with iTunes.
If it's just with iTunes, you can go to the File menu > New Folder command and create a new folder which we can call the Mega-Playlist folder. Drag the three playlists in question into that folder. When you select that folder and press Play, iTunes should go through all the songs.
If it's on an iPod, since Folders don't transfer over from iTunes, the only solution I know of would be to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes that will -
Match any of the following rules:
Playlist is the first playlist +
Playlist is the second playlist +
Playlist is the third playlist.
Synching this mega-playlist to your iPod will allow you to select it from the Playlist menu.
Shuffle mode would shuffle songs from all three playlists together, not shuffle songs from the first playlist before moving on to shuffling songs from the second playlist before shuffling songs from the third playlist.
