Can't burn a playlist from my library to MP3 format

I Tunes says I can burn a playlist from my library to MP3 format and Help even tells you how to make the settings. When I do this it says that I cannot burn into MP3 format because music purchased from I Tunes. Is this correct ? I thought that I Tunes, I Pod and Mac was all about using your music. I have an MP3 CD player in my car and wanted a MP3 disk.
Am I doing something wrong ?

I have 75 songs on the playlist, burning a CD would require 4 disks, 20 songs per CD. In MP3 format I could get up to 200 songs per disk. I usually play my Ipod through the radio via a transmitter, but at times there is just too much interference. I just purchased a new vehicle that has a CD that takes MP3 format, so I figured I could just burn a playlist in MP3 format. What good is the CD if you cant make a MP3 formatted disk. There must be a way to do this. ITunes shows you how to set up to burn in MP3 format so I'm figuring if you can't why would they show you how to set it up ??
Thanks

  • HT2736 How can I send a playlist from my library to my friend?

    How can I send a playlist from my Library to my friends phone.  She uses itunes on her phone. I thought that itunes used to do that, I remember it being somewhere on the program. Now when I would like to do it I can't find it.

    First get iTunes on your PC. Then plug your iPod in and go to the music, yo. You Cannot sync playlist if you select to sync your entire library. But you can sync playlists of you choose to sync selected songs.
    You can also create a playlist on your iPod just by holding the center button on a song and select add to "on the go". This " on the go" is a playlist and will be transfers to your PC if you plug your iPod in again.

  • Basic question: can I burn a playlist from my i-pod nano via i-tunes?

    I see the playlist I want to burn when I connect my i-pod nano to my pc but I can't see any way of burning a cd from that playlist.

    No, the playlist must be in iTunes in order to burn a CD.

  • Why can't I add playlists from my library to my iphone??!!?, Why can't I add playlists from my library to my iphone??!!?

    So far I absolutly HATE the new itunes. Everything has gotten more confusing and adding music to my iphone has become a daunting task instead of the easy transfer it use to be. BRING BACK THE OLD ITUNES PLEASE, or at least let me know how the heck to add playlist to my Iphone easily, because this is ridiculous.

    To revert the look and feel to iTunes 10
    View > Show Sidebar
    View > ShowStatus Bar
    click on the black arrow in search and yntick the Search Entire Library.
    Now you will see your device in the left hand window and you can drag a playlist to it as you used to.

  • Can't burn a CD from playlist I have reduced speed to 2 but can only burn part of playlist and a medium error occurs

    Can't burn a CD from I tunes playlist, I have tried reducing speed to 2 but it will only record 11 of 19 tracks and it abort with a "medium Write error" message.
    I have tried changing CDs but this doesn't make any difference.

    From posts I've read all around the Internet, there does not seem to be a simple solution. The word "Medium" refers to Media (CD,DVD) So logically you'd think trying another brand CD would work, but you've tried that. Another alleged fix is reducing the write speed, and you've done that.
    Other fixes that worked for a few people were cleaning the optical drive with a cleaning CD or gently spaying compressed air into the slot to clean out any dust buildup.
    Searching these Forums will find a few threads on the topic (search "medium write error in iTunes")
    Googling the same search criteria brings up a whole page.

    A playlist is, of course, just a listing of music tracks, or did you want to copy the music too?  You do not transfer that from iPod to iPod, you synch the iPod to the same library used with the first one.

  • I can't burn a cd from Itunes.

    I can't burn a cd from Itunes....If I try to burn a playlist it says i need multiple cd's and I only have 5 songs on that playlist. If I try to burn it anyway it doesn't do anything.

    BTW have tried two kinds of disks, one kind of which I have a burned playlist from last year so I don't think it is the disks.

  • 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?

  • How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

    I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

    If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

  • 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.

    can i move a playlist from spotifiy to i tunes?

    If the movie is in your iPhoto Library select it and use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Format=Original and save to the Desktop. 
    Move it to your Movies folder and then drag it onto the iMovie app in the Dock.

  • My old computer has crashed and is beyond repair. How can i transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

    My old computer has crashed. My new computer has my iphone account. How can I transfer my playlist from my ipod to my new computer?

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:
