Can't copy audio CDs to iTunes

I just installed iTunes 10 and now whenever I try to upload a CD, it reads the tracks just fine, but then tells me "the required file can not be found".
Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

So if I wanted to make playable cds (playable in a cd player) with the song names included on the cd, could I do that?
No. Well at least not that I know of. Your standard audio CD for a CD player does not contain the track information on the CD. You only see it on the computer because your iTunes or whatever is looking it up for you.
I hesitated writing this because there are mixed media audio CDs but these are complex and I don't think are what you want. With that kind of CD you might have the option of storing a separate text file with the tune names, but you have to use dual formatting on the CD and... messy.
You can of course burn AIFF files or MP3 files to a CD but these are not CDs that will play in a CD player. Well, again, there are some CD players that play mp3s, but I have never seen one in action so I don't know if they show the track information. It wouldn't be difficult to do so maybe they do do it. MP3s are lossy format which means they are lower quality than the original.

  • Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

    I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play. Also, I cant play audio CDs using iTunes. CDs do play using Windows Media Player. The DVD/CD drive seems to work fine in all other applications.
    I have tried the "device filter" regedit fix, but no luck. Anyone else have this problem?

    JohnAndKel,
    That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
    (Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

  • I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

    I have copied my CDs into iTunes  (currently running v11) to play on my iPod.  I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running.  How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?
    Thanks

    I tried Notpod but can't get it to work.  Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+).  I also can't do this in Windows Explorer.  Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
    The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
    "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
    InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
    Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
    I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
    Thanks anyone who can help

  • I can't copy/paste text in itunes?

    I use Windows 7, and the latest itunes. I dont have any addons or anything either.
    So, for some reason I can't use the copy/paste function in itunes. I listen to foreign music and when I want to copy the names of songs or artists and paste them into the little boxes in itunes, I can't. It just comes up as a plain, empty box with no text. I can't copy from chrome to itunes, or from itunes text to other itunes text boxes (artist, album, search, etc). This started yesterday and I thought uninstalling itunes and reinstalling would work, but it hasn't changed a thing!
    Thanks to anybody that can help

    You actually have a few choices, simplest is to format the drive as MSDOS (FAT), both Windows & your Mac will be able to read and write. You will be limited to a 4G maximum for individual files however. Formatting as ExFat removes the size limitation but is less compatible with Windows (XP installs may need updating)
    You can also install software on your Mac to allow it to read/write to an NTFS drive (which is what yours is now), I recommend Tuxera.

  • Copying Audio CDs in not-iTunes format--how?

    My MacPro has two optical drives, and I was trying to copy an audio CD from one drive to the other. (Of note, my Preferences do not specify iTunes as the program with which to open audio CDs.) As soon as I insert an Audio CD, all files on the CD seem to show up as iTunes files. When I drag them over to a blank CD and burn it (using the burn button on the blank CD's folder), they're burned as iTunes files. That's fine for computer-to-computer sharing, but if I want to listen on a car CD player, it wont recognize the files. So, how do I copy the songs in the original format without transforming them in any way? Thanks.

    Hi Joseph,
    You can create a playlist in iTunes as previously mentioned and then click the burn button at the bottom right hand side. It doesn't actually matter what format they are in, [from what I can tell/have experienced], as it will burn playlists in the .AIFF format anyway which is playable in the car or home audio system.
    I have a mixture of AAC, MPEG & Apple lossless formats and even when mixed in a playlist they burn fine - and the same. Toast is an excellent program and does a great job of burning all-sorts so is recommended :0)
    I only posted in case you were going to change the format of all your imported files to .AIFF before burning as it is time and space consuming!
    Hope that helps?
    Regards
    B

    simple : you put itunes application in a folder. then you reinstall itunes 4.7 for example. then put 4.7 at the end of itunes application name, same with itunes 5. then drop each of them in the dock. decide where you want to have all the playlists so you don't have to switcha ll the time between them. then when you need to listen to a cd or import mp3, you launch itunes 4.7. then the unknown artist folder in your home folder/music will be placed in a music folder somewhere on your HD. create playlist from this folder.
    then you activate itunes 5 for ipod sync or any other purpose. when itunes 6 will be finally updated, you remove itunes 5 and the home/music files of itunes 5, then reinstall the new itunes 6, which will normally take over the playlists of 4.7.
    apple makes it not simple but more and more complex so it has the greatness of sophistication and class but the weakness of complexity and bugs ! hope this does not last !
    thanks for the beer, send it thru internet !

  • Copy Protected CDs and iTunes - long but important

    Hey all, I didn't search all the posts but I haven't seen much mentioned about this topice so I thought I would bring it to your attention. If this is a repeat, I apologize.
    The basic issue is this: some new CDs (especially from Sony) have a program on them that loads on the computer and will only allow you to load the songs as WMA files. This happened to me when I bought a copy of Switchfoot's new cd. It says right on the back that it will only work with Media Player but hey, I wasn't paying attention. Apparently this is not an issue is you are using a Mac.
    Anyhow, you cannot load these CDs into iTunes and therefore cannot load them onto your iPod. This has created a huge controvery over on the Sony boards and if you follow the link I will give you, you can see it. Switchfoot is a very popular band and a lot of people got hammered over this. I was lucky enough that my Christian store took the opened cd back after I explained the problem and I had to download it from the iTunes store. You lose a song this way but what can you do. I guess the new album by Cold Play is the same way but I am not a fan so I can't be sure.
    If you follow the Sony posts, when you get to the 6th page (I think), one of the members of Switchfoot posted and gave us a few ways to get around this. If you have NEVER put one of these copy protected cds into your drive, you do not have the software on your computer yet. He describes a program you can download and then use it after you put the cd in the drive. If you have inserted one of the cds, the little program is hiding somewhere on the computer and that fix will not work.
    You can copy it to Media Player, burn it to a cd, and then load it to iTunes. But.........here you are making copies of copies and are going to lose sound quality. How much and will it be noticable, I have no clue.
    Someone on the board said Sony is aware of the uproar and will have a version of iTunes that will be able to import these cds sometime in November (it is actually Apple that is doing I would guess). It all started because Apple refuses to give some kind of code to the large labels so they made the copy protection so iTunes will not recognize the cd (no matter how many time you put it into your drive......believe me I tried over and over on Tuesday until I found the Sony boards by doing a Google).
    If this is news to you all, I am glad. If a repeat, sorry but I wanted to make sure all iPod owners (especially those of us with PCs) to be aware of this. There is a small alert near the spine of the jewel case that says "Copy Protected" or something like that and then on the back on the bottom it talks about only being able to use in Media Player.
    Some who pre-ordered the disk online did not get the cd with the protection and apparantly some got some copies in retail stores that didn't have it also. I looked at all 400 copies the Christian store I bought it from had and they were all protected. Switchfoot is a Christian rock band but have had tremendous success crossing over into the rock genre.
    One last thing, I guess the Dual Disk version will work in iTunes., at least that was the latest I had read.
    Here is the link to the Sony Board on this topic and if you all can't find the one post about how to get around this, let me know and I will find it and post it here for you.
    http://forums1.sonymusic.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/716102313/m/1331071454/p/1
    Good luck. I don't know how to make the links work on this board but you can copy/paste it into your browser window.
    Hope this helps some of you,
    Mike

    After using Macs for a number of years at both school and work, I finally ordered an iMac G5 of my own. When the DualDiscs came out I bought a few because I wnated all the content I could get. Attempting to play them on my iMac at work however, proved problematic. The audio side would spin for a few seconds then eject. I was slightly annoyed, but settled for playing the DVD audio versions of the albums as I worked. In my car stereo, the audio would work, but any other player it would not.
    When my personal iMac came, I expected the same problem- only the DVD side would play. Imagine my surprise when every DualDisc I attempted to rip (Switchfoot, Bruce Springsteen, Rob Thomas, Ben Folds, The Wallflowers, Oasis, David Gray) in iTunes was read and successfully ripped.
    So I wonder this- is it as much a problem with older Superdrives not being able to read the thicker discs as anything else?
    Or am I an anomaly

  • Can no longer burn CDs in iTunes

    I have successfully been burning CDs in iTunes until recently. I can now no longer burn an audio CD. The CDs I am using are the same as before (CD-R, same make etc) and I am trying to burn albums purchased through iTunes. No error message comes up, it just doesn't burn. I have the latest version of iTunes loaded but can't remember when I loaded this. Perhaps my problems have occurred since then? Can anyone help?

  • I can't create audio CD in itunes 10.3

    I "upgraded" to iTunes 10.0.0.68 a while back. When I did this the various options for creating an audio CD vanished. I've scoured many apple forums & found lots of people have this issue. The feedback they get is generally insinuating that they are stupid because they can't see the "burn" button on the "advanced" tab under "edit>preferences>advanced" or they are not clicking the playlist or some other thing.
    So what I'm saying is that none of the places I have searched offered an explanation. Eventually I decided to "upgrade" to 10.3.1.55 because most of the suggestions recommended that as a last resort. There is still no option to burn an audio CD or an mp3 CD anywhere in iTunes for Windows.
    I'm running XP, I have two different burners that work with every single program I have, except iTunes. And it's really not that they don't work with iTunes, because iTunes would need to have a "burn" option somewhere in the program for them to not work with iTunes. And it does not. The only thing I can do is create a backup of my iTunes library. That is not what I need to do.
    Does anyone know if iTunes is still capable of creating audio CDs? If so, please, please tell me your secrets! Thanks so much for any help you can give.

    Okay, I may have answered my own question. When I have iTunes up, & I insert a blank disc I get a pop-up that tells me I've inserted a blank disc, if I want to burn to it, go to file>burn bla bla bla and sure enough, now the option shows up. Hmmm...
    So here's what I did: I removed the disc & restarted iTunes to see if the option would go away. It did not. Even with no disc in the drive I now have the option "burn playlist to disc" under the "file" menu. It was not there 20 minutes ago, and has not been there ever with 10.0.0.68. I cannot say whether I ever inserted a blank disc while 10.0.0.68 was up or not, but I do know that I burned lots of stuff with other programs. My next experiment will be to completely reboot the computer, then start iTunes & see if the option is still there.
    I'll let you know how that turns out.  :-)
    Here is my suggestion to anyone having the same issue: just pull up iTunes, then stick a blank disc into your drive & see what happens. I'm betting your issue will be resolved.

  • 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?

  • Equium A60 can not recognise audio CDs

    Despite having no problem playing DVDs or CD-ROMs my Equium A60 laptop won't recognise audio CDs. In fact if I look in the D drive folder it doesn't even recognise anything as being there.
    Recently I have had problems loading CDs into iTunes etc: the tracks glitch and pop as they load in making it unusable for that but it is only very recently that the machine fails to even see the disc.
    Are the two things connected and if so does anyone have any possible solutions?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Do you use original, copy protected CDs? Have you tried with different music CDs, especially older one without copy protection? As you know many new music CDs are not playable in notebooks and usual PC optical disc drives.

  • Issues Burning Audio CDs in iTunes

    I recently bought my computer (HP Pavilion a6755y) and have been able to burn data CDs using iTunes.
    However, every time I try and burn an audio CD, I have issues, and I'm not sure if it's iTunes or the burner/drive itself. Hoping someone can help me out based on what I describe...
    When I burn the CD, I select "audio CD" when the popup appears and leave the other settings as they are. iTunes appears to burn the CD, but once I hear that "finished" noise, the CD doesn't appear in iTunes. When I try and eject it from the CD drive, it won't eject. When I click on the drive in "Computer," it asks me to name the disc and then it says it's write protected. I have to reboot in order for the computer to recognize the disc - and then it appears in iTunes but without track names. When I try and play a song, there is no music. The bottom of the CD looks as though it was burned as a data disc, but when I try and play it in a regular CD player, the tracks are there but blank. When I try and import it back into iTunes, it always freezes on the third track and I have to quit.
    I have no idea why this is happening, as as a former Mac user, I'm completely baffled. Help!

    Ok I solved the problem. What you'll have to do if you have this issue is: 1) go to your system information and look and see if any of your drivers need to updated. One way to tell is by looking at your PC baseline score. Otherwise you should go to the hp site and search 'driver updates' then select all the specific info for your pc model. 2)When your done the HP website will give you a list of driver updates to download. I downloaded the 'essential upgrades for windows vista', installed it, and restarted my computer. I initiated burn again (make sure the shuffle option is off for the burn playlist) and it worked, burned the entire cd... FINALLY! If you need more help or something, reply to this post.

  • CD burner will not burn audio cds from iTunes

    I have an Iomega external CD-RW burner that has been working perfectly until now. When I try to burn a cd from a playlist in iTunes, after inserting the blank cd... it says that it is checking the playlist, then the status goes to preparing to burn... and nothing happens. The drive almost appears to be unresponsive & itunes seems to have frozen, but they don't. So I have just ejected the disk and it's blank.
    I've tried resetting the computer, power, changing the location of the usb connection, different cd-rs, nothing works.
    I tried burning a data cd, which was successful. I just don't understand why it won't burn an audio cd from iTunes. Is there a problem with iTunes? Because it doesn't seem to be the cd burner since it is able to burn data cds.
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    I think it has always been the case that for burning
    CDs with iTunes, the requirement is that it is an
    internal Apple CD burner and that external ones might
    or might not work.
    I have used external burners in the past with no problems.
