Disc burning max amount of tracks

Hello all,
I know how to burn an audio CD using itunes. basically you make a playlist and you right click and you press on burn CD.
My question is the following:
When you have a large playlist with loads of tracks you would have to burn them on multiple CD's.
For some reason if i let itunes to burn them all on the whatever amount of discs it wants to do it, i will not get the track information (track name and artist) as i love to printout the track list.
So i always have to manually burn each one CD on its own.
So the question is how can i find out what is the maximum amount of files that i can put on the audio CD's.
Please dont just reply 700MB or 80 mins. I mean is there a way to find out from the software?
Like nero for example shows you the green/red bar which indicates amount of data you can still put on.
on itunes i just click my selection but i dont know if i have wasted alot of space or not.
Thank you,

AudioCDs are limited to 99 tracks using the RedBook Audio CD standard.

AudioCDs do not contain track information on the CD. The computer you burned the CD on should keep this info (in a database on your computer) but put it into another computer and it will not have any track info.

Please dont just reply 700MB or 80 mins.
That is the correct answer.
The maximum is 99 tracks which are no larger than 700MB and no longer than 80 minutes (really about 76 minutes).

  • Organizer: amount of tracks (Probl

    Hello all, sorry for my english
    I have just tested the Organizer 5.0.38; my system (XP Prof., autoupd.) is set to not send the mediachange event (for security reasons, of course). The sourcedri've is a DVD-ROM.
    Problems:
    * The first CD (with "n" tracks) inserted seems to limit the amount of tracks; if one inserts a new CD (with "m" tracks) after reading/converting the first disc, the amount of tracks does NOT change.
    m=n: no problems, at least the music is from the new CD
    m>n: only n tracks are shown, the others (n+...m) won't show up
    m<n: the tracks n+... m stay in the list, with the track information from the previous CD.
    * Even worse, the actualize CD-ROM content from the menu seems to do nothing.
    * I did not manage to find something like "Actualize", "F5" or anything else beside the CD-ROM thing above.
    * The gracenote request does not change anything about the amount, too.
    There is absolutely no chance to get the correct amount of tracks. Reinserting the CD does not change anything. Drag&drop of the cda leads to "play", but still only "n" tracks seem to be played.
    The only solution i've found so far is to restart the Organizer.
    That's ridiculous
    Any clues?
    Best regards

  • Cancelling disc burn error 4310

    Hi all
    I am hoping someone can help.
    I have just bought a new Asus laptop with Windows 8 and have installed the latest version of iTunes.
    All my music is in the library now and I have created some play lists and went to burn a disc, I selected maximum possible speed and in about 1 second it says "disc initiallising" and then straight away says "cancelling disc burn" and then says "attempt to burn disc failed, an unexpected error (4310) has occured".
    I have googled this but cant find a solution that works. I have tried changing the compatibility to Windows 7, also tried Widows XP (service pack 3) and also unchecked this to not use an older version whatsoever. I have tried registering the new computer to my account. I have also tried a lower speed at 1x, when doing this it does a longer initialising and goes through all the songs but as soon as it goes to burn it cancels itself.
    I have tried several different blank discs, nothing. It worked perfectly like this on the old computer (windows 7).
    I have even ran diagnostics on the DVD drive through iTunes and results are below -
    Can anyone help? I just want to put my music on to disc.
    Thanks

  • Why Won't Apple Announce Fix for 'No disc burner...'

    Odd that Apple won't post publicly what "Jeff" from iTunes support says is official fix for this error - downloading and installing 8.1.1. Anybody had problems with 8.1.1? Transcript of my discussions with iTunes support is below for your reading pleasure:

    Hi Rich,
    Jeff, here from the iTunes Store. I understand that you are seeking "official" word from Apple. Now because the information given to me is directly from Apple, you can consider the resolution official. You can rest assured that the issue has been resolved with the release of iTunes 8.1.1.
    I hope this clarifies your concerns, Rich. Thank you very much for being part of the iTunes Store family, and I hope you have a great weekend.

    Jeff:
    Sorry. I guess I wasn't clear. I was asking for a link to this official news from Apple. If it is official, it seems like Apple should declare that publicly. My guess is that they probably have, but I can't find it.
    Since I already have installed, removed and reinstalled the prior version so many times, I just want to see something from Apple first. Thanks again for your help.

This being said, please install iTunes 8.1.1, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:

    Furthermore, I have issued an additional five song credits to your "[email protected]" iTunes Store account, for the inconvenience and your tremendous amount of patience and understanding. You can use these to buy the individual songs of your choice from the iTunes Store.
    When you next sign in with this account, the song credits will appear by your account name (in the upper-right section of the iTunes Store). The next individual song you buy from the iTunes Store will use one of your song credits instead of your primary form of payment (until all credits have been used or have expired). Please note that song credits cannot be used for purchasing songs that are listed as "Album Only."
    If you don't see your credits, refresh your account information by signing out and back in to the iTunes Store. You can find both "Sign Out" and "Sign In" within the pull-down "Store" menu. If you don't see this menu, you should need only download the latest version of iTunes from our website for free:

    Jeff:
    Thanks, but as you might imagine, I am reluctant to download another version of iTunes when the last one led to these problems. My CD-DVD burner doesn't work properly since the last download. In fact, I had just imported some old 8mm videos of the family, and was going to burn those to a DVD for my father-in-law's birthday. Couldn't get it working, though. It's too bad, because I had been considering replacing my five year old PC with an iMac. However, I could get this kind of functionality with Microsoft.

  • BACKING UP LIBRARY-STARTS,AND SHORTLY READS"CANCELING DISC BURN"WHY??

    ive been going through the initial steps offered on itunes to back up library.i am only trying to back up purchased items.i then receive the info that says multiple discs required.so i put in first disc,it starts saying "writing to disc" and initializes the burning.i see several tracks pass by as though being burned.but at a certain point it starts reading "canceling the burn,will take a min or two".however more than 10 to 15 mins go by and nothing happens,except same message.and when i go to take the disc out,it informs me that if i cancel disc burn,info will not be burned.but it is not doing anything kind of in a frozen stasis with same message.what do i do?

    You might want to direct your question to the iTunes forum. You might also want to search the forums for that and see if there are any threads regarding it.

  • Why does iTunes say "Disc burner or software not found"

    When I try to burn a CD using my internal CD/DVD combo drive, I get a message that says "Disc burner or software not found". I just upgraded to iTunes 6.0.1. The local Mac store couldn't get iTunes in 2 G5s and a G4 Powerbook to recognize the disc buners either, and they just upgraded to 6.0.1 too. Is this a bug?? Anyone else having problems??
    Greg
    G4 400 Sawtooth / 5 years old   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   CD/DVD combo drive

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

  • Disc burner going downhill

    My disc burner has been failing over the past few months. First it made CDs with skips in the last few tracks, then it made CDs with skipping in all the tracks, and now it indicates that it cannot "calibrate the correct speed to burn disc" or something to that effect.
    (I've recently moved so I can't find a blank disc to retest it and see exactly what it says- Going to pick some blank CDs up today)
    Help me, please?

    I'm not sure what specifically you hope to hear... Honestly though it sounds to me like your drive is dying, and that means one thing: If your MBP is under warranty, take it in for repairs. If not, buy an external DVD-RW. They're less expensive, faster and easier to deal with than internal drives. Unless you do a lot of travelling or plan to re-sell your MacBook soon, in which case you should check out your options. MCE sells a SuperDrive for $180. They'll sell you the drive to install yourself, or for $50 they'll do the work for you. $100 gets you overnight service.

  • "Unknown error (4315)" aborts disc burn

    I'm using the latest version of iTunes on Windows XP SP3. I've tried burning a playlist but iTunes keeps aborting during the first track with an "unknown error (4315)" message.
    Any ideas?

    Additional: a further attempt resulted in a "canceling disc burn - unknown error (4450)" message. I can't find any reference to error numbers anywhere.

  • Keep getting Disc Burner or software not found when trying to burn a CD

    I am not able to burn a playlist to a CD and get an error at the top of Itunes window "Disc Burner or Software Not Found". I have been able to burn CDs in the past with this same computer but had some issues with songs in itunes. Support had me uninstall Itunes and reinstall. I have also uninstalled the device in the device manager and re-installed it. I really don't know what to try except to ask for help here. I would appreciate any direction I can get. I have a Dell desktop XPS running on Windows 8.

    Hi daurel, 
    Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you receive the error "Disc Burner or Software Not Found" when trying to burn CDs. You mention that you've already tried removing and reinstalling iTunes, and other drivers, and these are good steps. 
    If the situation continues, be sure to try the tips in this article:

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy

  • Windows Vista Home Basic: Disc burner or software not found..

    Need some help please!?
    I have searched sites across that internet in hopes to find a solution to this problem. I hope someone can help.
    I have an acer running windows home basic. I have recently installed iTunes (its the best!!). I went to burn a disc and when I click the button at the bottom of the screen, it says "disc burner or software nout found"..
    For some reason, I thought it was my Daemon tools virtual CD emulator, uninstalled that, still having the same problem..
    HELP!?

    +The error message isn't exactly the usual one, I wonder if you have another issue such as Daemon tools, iTunes doesn't like virtual drives.+
    Hi p. Just a possible heads up on distinguishing the 64-bit thing from the Daemon tools thing. With earlier "Disk Burner not found" messages related to missing the 64-bit drivers (on a 64-bit system), the error codes in the DVD/CD diagnostics next to the affected drives typically used to be 2380, and 2355. (rather than the 2510 that seemed to be associated with the Daemon Tools SPTD driver thing on 32-bit systems that could produce a "Disk Burner not found".)
    I'm well out of date with troubleshooting this on recent versions (7.4.x or above), though,

  • HT203242 iTunes for Windows: Optical drive is no longer recognized, or "Disc burner or software not found" alert after install.

    I have the solution.
    Uninstall Itunes.
    That is what I did and my disc burner works fine. I am gonna wait for Apple to come up with a solution. So if there is no solution that means no Itunes which means no Iphone or Ipod and time to move on to a comany that has solutions not year old posts that most people cannot decipher and won't be able to fix on their own.

    +Failed while scanning for CD / DVD drives, error 2510.+
    +Virtual drives can sometimes interfere with reading and writing CDs in iTunes. If this is a virtual drive and you are having problems with other drives, try uninstalling the virtual CD application.+
    By any chance, do you have a copy of Daemon Tools installed on that PC?
