Cant burn music files on CDs

I am having trouble burning music cds using the burner. The music will initially burn but after listening to the disc I realize the quality becomes poor including lots of skipping, especially towards the end of the disc. I use a standard cd-r and never surpass capacity.
Is there a way to fix this problem or should I send my mac in?

  • Cant Drag Music files into iTunes

    Hi there,
    I have been using iTunes for ages with out any problems but from yesterday I have found that I cant drag music files from a folder (My Music etc)into iTunes library or straight to my iPod.
    I can still use the "add file or folder" to library commands which work fine but I just cant drag files into iTunes like I used to. When I try I just get the circle with a line through it. The music files I am trying to drag are in the right format and I have even tried some files with are already on my iPod.
    Also I use winamp as my default player. When I double click on any music files in a folder winamp will open but does not play the file. I can still select "play file" from winamp and browse for the track I want to play. That works fine.
    So the same kind of thing is happening for both iTunes and winamp. I have searched for answers but still cant fix it. I have uninstalled and installed both iTunes and winamp. I remember having a problem like this before a long time ago but cant remember how to fix it.
    Its driving me insane!

    Are you just looking through the main library?
    My videos never show up under the main library anymore.
    They just show up under the movie or tv show headers.

  • Itunes cant find music files

    Seems to be some discussion on this problem where as itunes will not play the music on the computer and says it cant find the music files. I found that the block for using itunes as default audio player has to be checked. This is in preferences under the advanced tab. Seems to come unchecked at times and stops the player. Also my music location, also under advanced will go back to default at times. (My files are on an external hard drive) Hope this helps.

  • Why won't my computer burn music onto blank CDs

    I am trying to burn music onto my blank CD but a notification will pop up saying "The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the lazer power level fo this media." Sometimes it is able to burn music onto the CD though. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Try:
    - A lens cleaning disc to clean dust off the laser lenses,
    - A slower burn speed
    - Better quality CDs
    - It is also possible your drive is faiiling and will need replacing or you use an external Superdrive.

  • Won't Burn Music File

    Suddenly, I can't burn any of my audio files.
    When I insert the blank CD it initializes it then it "finishes burning" then
    I get the message that it wasn't able to burn the file.
    I tried a several music files. I don't think I've past the burn limit because
    some of these files aren't Itunes.
    Some help would be greatly appreciated.

    CD drives have always had a fairly high failure rate compared to other components. I wouldn't imagine anyone is the only one with a media drive issue.
    There are usually four questions: is it the media (meaning the cd's themselves, since some batches just don't work)? is it the drive itself? is there a bug in the software (less likely)? is there corruption in the driver software? It is often, unfortunately, the drive.

  • Burn music files and a pdf file?

    Is it possible to burn some music files and a pdf file on the same CD using iTunes? If not, maybe using some other software?

    iTunes can only burn files that are in its library, so forget about PDFs.
    Yes it can be done with other programs, using a data (not audio) CD format.

  • Unable to burn DMG files to CDs on external USB2 disc burners?

    Hello.
    I am having difficulties burning 88.x MB DMG files to CDs (new CD-Rs and an old CD-RW) onto two different external USB2 disc burner drives (both have power AC connected: HP and LG Super brands). The new Mac Mini (no disc slot drive)'s updated 64-bit Mac OS X 10.7.4's Disk Utilities tries to burn and then fail right away or after a few seconds. The error says "Unable to burn 'whatever.dmg' (The disc drive did not respond properly and can't recover or retry." Nothing interesting in dmesg, but Disk Utility's logs had details: http://pastie.org/private/6tnqcnkwycr2yftp8gkzxw ...
    I do see my drives' lights on during the burn. I can quick erase the old CD-RW fine. I can burn 538 MB from an 64-bit Windows 8 on my Acer AM3800 PC with the same discs and external burner drives without any problems. Also, I thought it was my USB cable extension, but it wasn't it. I don't use any USB hubs either. DMG files are fine too. I did notice copying from a CD to Mac Mini's local HDD was slow, but no failures.
    What could be the problem? Is USB2 too slow or something? Thank you in advance.

    Did you look at...
    ~/Library/Logs/DiscRecording.log
    USB2 is slow, but not that slow, but have you tried reducing the burn speed?

    To avoid these issues, you guessed it, you shouldn't delete the /tmp symbolic link from the Mac OS X volume.
    If /tmp is missing, it's easy to make a new one by following these steps:

    Recreate the missing /tmp link by using the Disk Utility application to repair permissions on your Mac OS X startup volume.

  • Cant add music files to iTunes

    Hi there. I have iTunes version 9.0.2.25 and unable to add music files to the existing list. I recently formatted my computer for a fresh start (which I have done previously with no iTunes issue), re-added the folder I have all my music in for iTunes but the new files won't add. It adds the 443 music files that I had on iTunes prior to formatting my computer but won't add any new single files when I use File -> Add file etc. as I did originally before the format.
    I have googled the issue and there are a lot of people with the same problem but the forums have no answers.
    Could somebody please help me with this problem as it is on my iPhone 3G which is an integral part of my work and public time.
    Regards
    Ross

    I'm having the problem of not being able to add any of my files/folders. And **** will freeze over before i do CDs again. Everytime I upgrade iTunes I have this problem. And I only upgrade when I get a new computer. I can import a CD, but I can't import files or folders from my hard drive.

  • 6300..cant play music files through music player.

    I just got the 6300.
    I transferred some music files onto my phone, but i cant seem to play them through "music player".
    When i try to search for the songs.. through show "all tracks", they dont appear.
    But if i go to my memory card, and play the songs out of there, then it plays, not sure which program it uses to play.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks
    ameet

    You need to update the library. In music player:
    options .. music library .. options .. update music library
    This scans phone and card memory for new tracks. When you see how long this takes, you'll understand why it isn't done automatically each time you start the music player

  • Cant burn music onto cd from iTunes

  • Cant locate music file????

    i have lost almost everything on my itunes some how; it keeps saying cant locate file and asks me if i want to locate them?? i didnt know they were moved to be able to even begin looking for the files

    no its a new internal hdd, though the fix may be the same? cant see why it would be different both run through the mobo just different conectors and a hdd with no operating system installed, which i,m guessing is the reason itunes cant find my music in windows on the c drive, cos it aint there!!!

  • Cant burn .dv file

    After video encoding, i get a message saying error in burning process, it doesn't even attempt to burn to dvd. i can only get .mov files to burn. is their a way to burn higher quality video?
    craig

    Nope, data DVDs are useful for archiving or transferring to another computer, but won't play in a regular DVD player.
    If want a playable DVD and the it is an iMovie production, you don't need to do any file conversion. Try this:
    -quit iMovie and open iDVD
    -use the Finder to locate your iMovie project and right-click/Show Package Contents
    -find the "native" Quicktime version of your iMovie by opening the Shared Movies folder; then open the iDVD folder.
    -import this to iDVD by dragging it into the menu area (not a drop zone). Let it encode and set up your menus, etc.

  • I cant find music files on my Ipod

    I can see all my songs on my ipod library when I tunes is open. But when open it as a hard drive half of my songs are missing or not there. I need them all to be there to transfer my library to a new computer.
    any suggestions on how to find these files?

    Hi,
    To transfer all the songs from the computer to the iPod shuffle and then to a new computer, first determine the amount of space taken by all the songs.
    Then connect the iPod shuffle to the old computer and in iTunes Prefrences click on the iPod and check "Enable Disk Use" and slide the slider to the Right side to increase the size.
