Can't play burned cd's

I can create a new burn folder, put some iTunes in it and burn it but the only place i can play the CD is on iTunes. How do I convert the files...or what am I doing wrong?

You can play a burned CD on your Mac, so burning does not seem to be the problem.
Did you burn it as
b Audio CD ?
You can check this in Preferences > Burning (iTunes 4) or Preferences > Advanced > Burning (iTunes 5)
What type of media did you use?
Don't use CD-RW, only CD-R. Few players can handle CD-RW.

Can't play burned cd on home stereo

I used to be able to play burned cd on home stereo, now it sounds like it's playing in a tunnel. I checked to be certain it's on -cd, but I no longer find settings for home stereo. Help!!!

Problems with bad audio quality in burned CDs can often be improved by burning at a slower speed. Burn again and use 1x. Not 4x. Not 2x. 1x. The setting is found as the "Preferred Speed" when the burn dialog box comes up.
Also, I assume you know this, but make sure to use CD-R blanks, not CD-RW.

Another one!! Can't play burned CD in car and other music system

Hi,
There has been a problem with my computer recently and I used the forum to find the answer which did fix the problem (safari crashing all the time). Great and thanks to everyone for their help.
But I have now noticed that I am having problmes with burning CD's and I think have tried all what has been suggested. I purchased music from the itunes store and it plays without any problems.
The discs that I am using are DVD-RW. I have gone into itunes preferences and selected "when you insert a CD" - import cd and I think the import settings are correct.
When I clicked on the burn button, I selected audio CD which didn't work, so I tried selecting Data CD or DVD, that didn't work either.
p.s I have successfully burned before this, so I don't know why I can't do it now.
Thanks for some more help.

The discs that I am using are DVD-RW.
You're really using DVD disks? You need to be using CDs if you want them to play in most car and other CD players, very few of which will play a data disk at all, much less a data DVD. Burning audio CDs, which is the format you generally will need for other players, usually works best with CD-R (not CD-RW).
I have gone into itunes preferences and selected "when you insert a CD" - import cd and I think the import settings are correct.
Just FYI, those settings have no effect on burning a disk from iTunes.

Can't play burned CD's in my car

Audio CD's burned from itunes work fine in my computer, but won't work in my other players or car.
Thanks

Check your burn speed. Some players can't read disks burned faster than 8 or 12X. Try burning one disk on a very slow setting and see if it works. You can keep increasing the burn speed on successive disks until you find the speed at which they become unreadable.

I don't own an Apple device, but I have purchased an audio album from the iTunes store. How can I play this on my android phone, as I am unable to burn the album to mp3 format? Can I obtain a refund if this is not possible? Thanks

p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

Micky,
The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format. Most Android phones can play AACs. Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
(This conversion does not require burning.)
For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices. You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

Can't play CD's I burned with iTunes

Hi guys wonder if anyone can help me - I burned a couple of CD's with iTunes to play in my car, one of them won't work at all - it just comes up error. The other one works every now and then.
I don't think it's the changer system as I can usually play CD-R's and I don't think it's the disc slot as if I swap them round they still won't play.
Is it a mistake I have made in burning them?
Any help welcome - thanks in advance xx

Could be a settings issue. Some cars do not recognize mp3 CDs, you may have made a disc full og mp3 files. Might have put AAC files onto disc, this also might not work in car.

I can't play my burned purchased CD's

I have purchased over 60 songs from iTunes and I can't burn any of them. It shows them as burning and I can play it on my computer but I can't play it on any other CD playing device. I tried burning CD's with songs that weren't downloaded and it won't work. Please Help!!

When we burned a CD it showed the progress, but then when we looked at it in windows explorer it went straight to iTunes and it showed it was playing but there was no sound.

I can't play music burned as CD.fpbf

Recently, my computer started using burn folders, including when I try to burn music CDs. The problem is, I can't get these CDs to play in my car or anywhere outside of my computer. I'm not even sure how to benefit from burn folders and at this point, it's just annoying. Is there a way to change the file format?

Hello Nghab and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
In order to correctly format a CD read the following. Use iTunes to burn audio CD's in order to burn to the correct format.
To make your own CD, you need:
A disc drive that can burn CDs
A blank CD
An iTunes playlist containing the songs you want on the CD
To create an audio CD:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and click Burning.
Select Audio CD as the Disc Format.
To have all the songs on the CD play at the same volume, select Use Sound Check.
Click OK.
Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include on the CD have a checkmark beside them.
Click Burn CD (at the bottom of the iTunes window) and insert a blank disk.
If the playlist contains more songs than will fit on the CD, iTunes burns only the number of songs that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert another disc to continue burning the remaining songs.
If the playlist includes Audible spoken programs with chapter markers, the chapters are burned as separate tracks.
It might take several minutes to burn an audio CD. You can cancel the burn by clicking the X next to the progress bar (but if you're using a CD-R disc, you won't be able to use it again).
If the playlist contains songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you can burn the playlist to a CD up to seven times.
Hope this helps,
Carolyn
PS... your car stereo .. check your auto manual to see if it only reads MP3 format. If so, read the following:
You can use iTunes to create CDs of music in MP3 format; the songs sound as good on the CD as they do in iTunes. (MP3 is a high-quality, Internet-standard encoding method.) You can listen to MP3 CDs you create on special consumer CD players or on your computer.
Before you burn a CD, you need to create a playlist containing the songs you want on the CD. You can store more than 12 hours of music, or about 150 songs, on a 650 MB CD-R disc. (You can see the size of the selected playlist at the bottom of the iTunes window.) If you plan to play the CD only on your computer, you can use a CD-RW disc instead.
To create an MP3 CD:
Choose iTunes > Preferences, click Advanced, and then click Burning.
Choose MP3 CD as the Disc Format, and then click OK.
Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include have a checkmark beside them.
Click the Burn MP3 CD button (at the bottom of the iTunes window).
Insert a blank disc and click Burn MP3 CD again.
If the playlist contains more songs than fit on a CD, iTunes burns only the number of songs that fit on one disc, and then asks you to insert another disc to continue burning the remaining songs.
If your playlist includes songs in formats other than MP3, such as songs purchased from the iTunes Store, they aren't burned to the CD.
Songs you download from the Internet may be of different quality because other encoding formats were used.

Is it legal to convert the music files, which I have purchased in recent months, to the mp3 format and burn them on to a CD so that they can be played on non-apple music devices that do not support the M4A format?

Is it legal to convert the music files, which I have purchased in recent months, to the mp3 format and burn them on to a CD so that they can be played in non-apple music devices that dont support the M4A format?

Yes, of course it is legal.
To convert the format, follow one of these documents:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
iTunes 11 for Mac: Save a copy of a song in a new file format
Also note that you have the option of buying your files in MP3 format in the first place, from Amazon MP3 or other online retailers. MP3 files will work in iTunes as well as virtually every other player, program, and device.

Why can't I burn a movie to play in a DVD player?

I made a movie in iMovie well it was more like a slide show I did with pictures and dropped some music in there However when I went to burn the the movie I got a message saying that I only can play this movie in a DVD/DVD rom will not play in a standard DVD player. Then I tried sharing the movie to iDVD but I still can't burn into DVD format for (DVD Player) Why do I have to select new themes in iDVD all I want to do is burn the movie that I created to play in a dvd player.
Thank You

This feature creates a duplicate of your project onto
a CD or DVD ROM. It does not create a video DVD for
playing in a DVD player. Do you want to continue?
This is the message that I received in iMovie when I
went to burn to disc File>Burn to disc
There are two kinds of DVDs we can create from within iMovie.
1. A DVD containing iMovie project files as Mac files. This kind of DVD functions a lot like a hard disk. The File > Burn to disk command burns the iMovie project onto the DVD. This project movie cannot be played on a TV.
Most iMovie projects are too large to fit on a single-sided DVD, which is limited to about 4.6GB of data. One hour of iMovie video requires 12GB of disk space.
2. A DVD containing files encoded (converted) in the MPEG-2 format, which DVD players know how to play. This type of DVD can be played on a TV. When converting your iMovie project to the MPEG-2 format, iDVD compresses the video and audio so (about) two hours of video can fit on a single-sided DVD.

I have a XPS Dell 420 . I burned a CD of my songs but can't play them on a CD Player. Only Playlist.

I need to know why I can't play my burned Cd on a Player?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Help!!!!! I can't play my burned CD's on my car stereo

I have a 1998 Buick Century and I can't play any of my iTunes cd's in the CD player. is this because the CD player is old and doesn't recognize the format? any input is appreciated

Many older CD players cannot handle a burned CD at all, so you may not be able to get it to work. But make sure you're burning the disk as an audio CD and that you're using CD-R disks, not CD-RW.
Good luck.
