Can't Burn Audio, MP3's skip

Hello,
I just upgraded to Itunes 7 and I can't burn audio cd's. My CD-R is listed as useable and I've used all of the troubleshooting options I could find to no avail. Anyone having this problem.......and what was your solution if fixed.
Also, it will burn MP3 CD's but there are dropouts on all the tunes. It does this in a variety of players so it is definitely a problem with Itunes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Frank

I feel your frustration. I am having the same problem and we are not alone either. The itune 7 upgrade has somehow "messed up" my previous burning ability. My burner is recognized but the software is absent. There is no way to back up my library to reinstall and I've read the "reinstall" technique is a sporadic fix.

Help! i upgraded my itunes to 7.0.2 and I can't burn my mp3's?????

I am having the same problem like many other posts as to burning mp3's on the latest version of itunes.
my itunes was working fine till i downloaded the latest version and i tried to burn some songs that i even downloaded from itunes. i am having 2 major problems:
(1) when i try to burn a playlist that i purchased from itunes it starts off like it's going to intitalize the burn then a warning pops up stating that 'none of the files can be burned to mp3 cd' then i click on the arrow to see the reason why i can't burn and it states 'itunes store files cannot be burned to an mp3 cd'. this has never happened before i have downloaded music from itunes before and never had this problem.
(2)the second problem i am having is the songs that my itunes will allow me to burn ( mostly transfered from my personal cd's and other downloads) burn in the usual manner but the don't play on my cd player....at all. i am using the correct cd's and my stereo is playing other burned cd's fine. the stereo is not old and i don't have any problem burning other files to cd. i tried everything...i even bought new blank cd's and i'm still having the problem. what is it? and how can i fix it.
please help if anyone has any advice!!!!

No version of iTunes has ever allowed you to burn songs from the iTunes Store to MP3 CD.
I think you need to change your burning setting in Preferences > Advanced > Burning to Audio CD.

Can't burn audio cd in itunes

I just started having this problem yesterday. iTunes will burn an mp3 cd just fine; however, when I try to burn an audio cd it says that there are too many songs to fit on one disc and there is only like ten 4 minute songs. Then I click to make multiply audio cds and then itunes only puts 1 song up there, if it will even put anything up there. However, when I try to burn the same playlist as an mp3 cd, it works fine. I have tried updating itunes, I have even deleted it and completely downloaded it again and it still will not work. Can anyone please help?

How can I burn a MP3 CD in itunes

I bought an Asus DVD/CD burner to plug into my MBA in hopes that I could burn an MP3 CD for my car stereo. When I try to burn the CD iTunes tells me it can't find the burner. How do I mount, or setup, the burner so iTunes will see it. I can play a DVD on it, so I know it works. Running 10.8.2.
Thanks!

I have the latest version of iTunes (11.3) and I have the option to burn a Data CD.

Can't burn audio CD with new iTunes 7.0.1.8

I installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 and now I cannot burn audio CDs. I can only burn data CDs. When I try to change preferences under "edit" "preferences" "advanced" "burning" to audio there is not way to save the change. In other words, there is no "ok" button. It reverts back to data CD and the button on the bottom right remains "burn data disc". Any suggestions?

I'm having troubles, too. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.
1) How do I manually delete my podcasts now that they don't show up in my library any longer?
2) Also, none of my non-music items are showing up anywhere in my library as they are not music. Items like books on CD that I downloaded and are genres for audiobooks but the system doesn't consider them audiobooks. Please help!
Thanks.

Have you tried cleaning the lens in your optical drive? That has revived a failing drive for me more than once.

Burning audio CDs - getting "skipping" on playback

Recently when I burn audio CDs from iTunes to my Sony i.LINK drive (CD-RW CRX160E), even after reducing the burn speed to 1X (!!!), some of the tracks are turning out unplayable -- they play with a sort of skipping-like interference. I'm using HP cd-r 52x 700 MB/80min recordable compact discs. Could it be the media? Any other suggestions? This drive has worked fine for years (at "maximum possible speed" setting, in fact). Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Man, this is frustrating (and wasteful).

I'm pretty sure that's the latest Lenovo-supplied firmware for that drive.
Force Optical Power Calibration before burn is turned on in the preferences.
I wonder if that's our issue? It's not a user-configurable preference (or at least, it never used to be), and it's set to off by default (at least it used to be in older versions of iTunes). But a transient issue might click it to "on", and the setting might now be causing the issue.
We should be able to reset it by rebuilding the iTunes preferences. For the basic technique, see the "Remove iTunes preference files" section from the "User-specific troubleshooting" section of the following document:
[iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717]
Try running your diagnostics again after each rebuild to see whether the Force Optical Power Calibration before burn has been switched off. (I'm afraid I don't know which set of prefs it lives in nowadays.) Once it looks to be reset, try another experimental burn and see if she's still giving the 4450.
*Prior to doing the preference file rebuilds:* Best to make a note of any custom preferences you have set up for your iTunes. (Rebuilding pref files returns preferences to their defaults ... so you'll likely have to set some of those custom preferences up again from scratch.) Also make a note of any third-party plugins/add-ons you have installed. You may have to reinstall those after the rebuilds.
*Things to watch out for during the rebuilds*
Rebuilding the preference files in the \Local\ location causes the iTunes license agreement to run. So you'll need to agree to that again.
Rebuilding the preference files in the \Roaming\ location causes the iTunes Setup Assistant to run. When prompted to do so, *do not* add files to your iTunes library. (Otherwise you'll end up with a library full of duplicates.)

How can I burn Audio-CD's and .cue files on my iMac.

Since a few months I stepped over from Windows to iMac, I am satisfied I did that, but now I am at a point that I regret it !!
I tried for the first time to burn an Audio-CD on my mac, first with the help of the programs BURN and SimplyBurn, but I did not succeed to get a Audio CD that also worked on my Stereo set. Also trying to burn a .cue file was a dissaster.
I also tried Finder and iTunes, well the with Finder burned CD did not play on my Stereo, iTunes did not burn my music, maybe because it was not downloaded from iTunes, because the burn entry was not in the menu bar.
I also went to an help desk, but the gave me some unclear answers.
So you can imagine I'm very disapointed, not succeding to burn a simple CD or .cue file, right now I'm happy I did not get rid of my Windows machine.
Please a solution for this "problem" and what kind of burn programs can you advise I should use, and that I stay in the Apple communtiy and not go back to Windows ??
JMGD.

Thanks for your answer. But I tried to burn an image with the program BURN yesterday, without succes. The file I tried to burn was a 350MB big file to a CD, BURN told me the file was 1.5TB big !!!! and did not burn it.
I burned it on my Windows machine with NERO and that worked !
Also today Itried to burn a normal Mp3 album to disk with BURN, without result, I got an answer from BURN telling me "One of the volumes on this medium is still in use" not nowing what this means !!

CAN I BURN MY MP3'S TO DVD & PLAY THEM ON CD MACHINE?

My question is :
Can i back up my itunes library to a dvd
and then play the whole library on the dvd
on an ordinary cd player?
I would like to back up my MP3 library to a portable &
playable format & am hoping that dvd's are essentially
very big cd's & will play on cd machines.
Any advice most welcome.
Thanks for your time.

No. If you burn just a data CD with mp3s on it, it will not play in an "ordinary" CD player. You would have to burn the CD as an audio CD. However, many modern CD players are not "ordinary", in the sense that they come with the ability to play mp3s. So it's quite possible that your CD player is capable of playing mp3 data CDs.
In any case, no CD player will be able to play mp3s stored on a DVD. A DVD player would be needed for that.

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
Compaq S5600UK Windows XP

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

Can't transfer audio mp3 from Itunes to my Ipod

I have been downloading audio books from my local library for years using over drive. I have downloaded them using WMA, but for some reason the audio books I request are coming in MP3 (I haven't a clue why). I download the audio to over drive, then transfer the file to my IPod nano (4th or 5th generation). It looks like everything is transferring as usual, But after ejecting my ipod from the computer and look for my book, there is nothing there.
I thought my Ipod devise accepted MP3 format? I'm a novice and don't if the issue is with my Ipod nano, ITunes, or overdrive?
Can someone help me clear up my problem?
Thaks

I had the same thing happen to me.
All I had to do was reset the iPhone. If you don't know, just hold the home button down at the bottom of your screen and the power button at the same time. After 10 seconds, it may ask if you want to power down - keep holding - it will reset. Don't power down.

Burned Audio CD starts skipping after song 7

HELP! I'm a itune first timer and after burning my playlist 6 different times at different speeds and updating my "Firmware" for my DVD/CD burner, the music plays perfectly until song 7 then it gets skippy and pretty soon doesn't play at all. This happens when I play it on the Widows Media Center, a couple CD players and in my new car. I have 18 songs on my playlist and am using a 700mb CD-R that should accomidate the whole playlist.
Any suggestions???
Gateway Windows XP Media Center w/Double Layer 16X DVD+/- RW drive

I was using CD-R's, though I will try a CD-RW. Yes,
I definitely chose buring an audio CD (not MP3 etc).
I called Apple about it (iTunes support was entirely
unhelpful) and they hadn't heard of this problem
either. I'll post the CD-RW result. Thanks for
your thoughts!
No, don't use CD-RW's for your test, use different CD-Rs, some cheaper cd-rs are notoriously flaky, or you might have a bad batch of good cd-rs. You might also try slowing your burning speed down and see if that helps.

HT203164 iTunes can't find disc so can't burn (audio books)

Help! I'm new to ITunes. On both my Windows 7 laptop and Windows Vista desktop, iTunes can't locate the disc. I ran the CD diagnostic and it says "no audio cd found"....except all the music cuts appeared in itunes and asked if I wanted to copy them to library... The instructions in this help article don't work for me -- in Windows 7, in the IDE folder in Device Manager, there aren't any IDE controllers listed for the player. In windows vista, the IDE controllers have DMA enabled. both have updated software. HELP!
