Can't burn audio CD - songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD.

I have iTunes 6.0.3.5. runing on Windows XP SP2, fully patched.
I'm trying to write an Audio CD from iTunes, I used to be able to do this (before Christmas), but now can't. Even if I create a new playlist with just one track in it and try to write this track (whether an MP3 or M4P downloaded from iTunes store), it comes up with the message:
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.
Even if I select Audio CDs, it doesn't write them, it just comes up with the same message again.
I've tried this on my laptop too, same result, I completely re-installed my laptop (XP, everything) too....
I've tried it on my daughters PC and it * does * work ok (same version of iTunes)...
Any ideas?
Thanks

If I use a different brand of CD-R it now works (found this suggestion in the answer to another similar question).
I was using Memorex which didn't work on my PC or Laptop, but works ok on my daughter's PC.
Maxell works ok.
Why? Anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks

  • "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio CD..."

    I get this error message when trying to burn to a CD-R:
    "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?"
    I'm trying to burn 17 songs. At the bottom of the playlist it tells me that those 17 songs take up 1 hour, 66.5 MB. If I have a 80 minute (1 hour, 20 minute) blank CD-R it should burn with no problems...shouldn't it? I've burned CD-Rs with iTunes on this computer before. I'm using iTunes 7.0.1.8.

  • The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"

    How do I resolve the message "The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"  I have tried everything, and this has just happened 2 days after my warranty expired.  Any help much appreciated as I am not tech minded
    Thanks

    Firstly apologies for not providing more information.  I am indeed trying to copy a playlist which I made and successfuly copied to a blank audio CD last week.  Today I spent over one hour online looking for help and nothing that was suggested helped.  I even tried copying an 18 min playlist (a meditation CD I use) and the same message came up ... a prompt asking me if it were ok to copy onto more than one CD - and even when I agreed to that, jsut to see what happened, the process stopped there (i.e. no copying was attempted by iTunes).  I'd appreciate some insight.  Thanks

  • No playlist too small for "this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"

    What on earth is goin' on w/ iTunes ?! ( In my case it's 7.6.2 (9) )
    After having a 91.MB playlist receive the “*The songs in this playlist will not fit on one audio CD"* for a 700 MB audio-CD burn, I searched around here and found this thread . . . granted it's for Windows, but other mentions dating back to Jan. seem to indicate the problems pretty universal.
    Anyone know anything more on this ?

    And didn't we used to be able to re-edit our postings here?
    That URL trick didn't work and looks a mess now !

  • 53.1 min, 51.5 MB playlist will not fit on one audio CD?

    I'm trying to backup an album I bought from iTunes, but I keep getting the error that reads, "The songs on this playlist will not fit on one audio CD." The playlist is 53.1 minutes long and 51.5 MB in compressed size. The files are 128 kbps AAC. I've also tried a different playlist of 45.8 minutes and 43.7 MB and get the same error. I was originally using iTunes 7.3. I deleted that and switched to 7.2. I still get the same error. The dialog box gives me the option to put the playlist on multiple CD's, but that seems terribly wasteful to me. Besides, I suspect this is a bug or something. These albums ought to fit on a single CD. Has anyone else encountered this problem before and is there any way to fix it?

  • "the songs in this playlist will not fit" - only 63 minutes in playlist????

    I'm trying to burn a 63 minute playlist onto an 80 minute CD.
    I do this many, many times a week.
    However, with this playlist [16 tunes ripped off CD and one purchased track from iTunes - never burnt to CD before] I get the "the songs in this playlist will not fit" error message.
    If I remove a song from the playlist, I get the same error message.
    iTunes is burning other / longer playlists just fine.
    Any tips, please?
    Thank you for your time!

    Yes it will have a larger amount of data but it is
    also a larger file.
    Figure that 1 minute of 128bit rate is equal to about
    1 meg - 1 minute at the 1411 (audio) bit rate is
    about 10 meg.
    So - 70 meg of mp3 is about 700 meg of audio (AIFF)
    format.
    MJ
    Well, that would only be true if you were burning a DATA or an MP3 disk. All audio files are converted to CDA format (not AIFF) before burning to 16bit PCM @ 44.1KHZ sampling rate. This is an absolute, or they will not play in an audio CD player.
    By the way, the reason that some people get a bit confused by the "700mb data or 80minutes of Audio" has a lot to do with how the disks are written:
    Audio sectors use 2352 bytes per sector, while standard CD-ROM data uses 2048 (the rest is for error correction). You can put roughly 747MB of audio onto a disc that only holds 650MB of data (74 Min disk), or 804Mb on a 700Mb disk, hence the 80minutes @ 10meg per minute. The number of tracks (and hence track gaps @ 2sec each) will have a minor effect on total music playing time.
    There IS, however, something seriously askew with iTunes and the interface to burning any kind of disk. I have seen the same problem a few times and most of the time, renaming the playlist (for whatever reason) has solved the problem. It has been well documented on this board that itunes cannot record at high speeds any longer, and my 100% success rate speed is a mere 2x on both CD's and DVD's.
    I have also seen the capacity issue show up OUTSIDE of iTunes using FlashDrives. While the OS doesn't have a problem reading data from the drives, nor does it have difficulty in acertaining the capacity of the drives, it will not write anywhere close to the capacity of the drive. Currrently affecting all 3 systems here.

  • Can't burn Cds anymore!msg:"songs on playlist will not fit on one audio cd"

    I recently updated my itunes library to 8--I believe--and since I haven't been able to burn any audio cds. All the settings are set correctly, the playlist size should fit on one cd, but it keeps telling me it won't fit on one cd. the cds are blank, I'm using memorex and have tried several different cds. Ugh. Techonology is the bain of my existence. . .thanks for the help!

    Have you tried burning at 8x speed? Slower but that is what fixed burning issue for me.

  • Playlist will not fit on one audio CD :/

    I recently installed the latest version of iTunes on a new PC and tried burning for the first time. I was trying to burn a playlist that has been burned before on another computer but kept getting the "playlist won't fit" message.
    After systematically removing one song at a time and retrying it finally let me burn once the length was under 45 minutes :/
    I tried with several different CDs, all of which I've used before without incident. I've tried changing burn preferences and speeds without success. I can only burn if I'm under 45 min'.
    Clearly there is a problem... any help would be very welcome.
    The diagnostic doesn't appear to offer any insight either

  • Songs in Playlist will not fit on CD

    Every time I try to burn a cd I get the message:
    "The songs in this playlist will not fit on one Audio Cd. Do you want to create multiple Audio CD's with this playlist spilt across them? This will require more than one blank cd to complete." Then I have the option of clicking Audio CDs or cancel. Nothing happens when I click Audio CDs.
    This happened out of the blue and have not changed any settings. I have tried burning several playlists even one with just one song and still get the same message. So clearly these playlist do not really need more than one cd. I am using the same exact cds that I have successfully been burning with that are CD-R. I just updated to latest version of iTunes as well.

  • HT1420 One song in a playlist will not authorize in order to burn to cd

    I purchased an album yesterday and synced it to my ipod with no problems. Today I went into iTunes to burn the playlist to a cd. As it begins to burn, one of the songs is grayed out and not checked. It keeps giving me the message to authorize the computer, which I have done several times. This one particular song, which was purchase as part of a complete album, keeps tripping up. I am not sure what to do at this point. It will not play the song, and will not burn to the cd.
    Thanks,
    Jess

    I only got my Zen V Plus yesterday! I need help!

  • HT204406 I purchased an album from itunes, and put it in a playlist. icloud status lists all the songs as purchased, and when I click on "Update itunes Match", this playlist will not update. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name.

    I purchased an album from the itunes store, and put it in a playlist. icloud status listed all the songs as purchased, instead of the usual "Waiting". When I clicked on "Update itunes Match", everything updated except this playlist. There is a cloud to the right of the playlist name. This has never happened before.
    Any ideas?

    I deleted the songs from my desktop (iMac), then I used itunes match to reload the songs back on my desktop from my laptop. When they reappeared on my desktop, then I right-clicked on the songs and clicked on the option to add to icloud. This however did not work, and they just duplicated into icloud, but they were "greyed out" and unuseable. I hope I'm explaining myself clearly? In other words, the songs seem to be trying to go into the cloud, but they are greyed out in my library and cannot download. It is as if they are ghosts? My songs do play fine when I transfer them via itunes match, and everything appears normal. They just won't transfer via the cloud. As I said before, every other song in my library always work fine via the could, but only the songs off this one album that I bought from itunes in 07' will not work???

  • How do I disable "up next" on itunes 11 (or at least make it play the next song in my playlist and not some random one)

    ITunes 10 was great and I heard nothing but horror stories about 11 so I didn't upgrade until I got my new computer and pushed my music over.  In fact, I accidentally hit update and disconnected my computer from the Internet to stop it from happening, but was too late and now I'm stuck with it.
    When I play a song and the song ends, instead of playing the next song on the list, it plays some random other song.  When I "clear list," iTunes doesn't play anything at all.  What gives?  What happened to the greatest media player?  As a pro audio engineer, I've got over 150Gb of music and this just doesn't fly.  I HAVE to have my music in order and if iTunes can't do that, what is its purpose?
    Help, please.

    iTunes 11 works fine on my computer...   I think you need to check the "Shuffle" settings in all of your playlists, including the main library...   It sounds like for whatever reason, iTunes is automatically shuffling your playlists...  

  • Unable to Burn CDs in iTunes for Windows: (Will not fit, but it should.)

  • I am unable to burn CDs with songs recently purchased from itunes. No problem before. When I try to burn a playlist with new songs, I get the error message that "songs will not it on 1 audio CD". If I remove all songs except the new one, it will burn.

    I am unable to burn CD's with the last 4 songs I've purchased from the iTunes store. I can burn CD's from playlist using previously purchased songs with no problem. With a normal length playlist including 1 of the newly purchased songs, I get the message "songs will not fit on one CD". I can remove all but the new song and 1 other and the CD will burn. I have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and still have the problem.

    I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

  • How can I find my playlists in this new interface?  And then, how can I transfer newly purchased songs to a playlist?

    iCloud does not store messages for you to see/access at icloud.com.  It does back up messages so you can restore your iPhone if it ever needs to be reset to factory default.  A backup is an image of all your data on the iPhone, and if you delete some messages, then they won't be part of any further backups.
    If two people use the same iCloud account, then their devices are kept in sync, just like a single user's multiple devices are kept in sync.  It's usually a good idea to have separate accounts for two people, since it's rarely the case that they want each phone to be an exact replica of the other.
    Your iphone syncs contacts, events, camera roll, and many other things without the use of a computer.
