Does iTunes Burn Track-At-Once or Disc-At-Once?

I've been trying to find the answer online but I haven't found a definite answer yet. I've seen a few web postings which seem to indicate it burns TAO but I'm still not sure. I do know that iTunes doesn't offer the option to burn TAO or DAO like other burning programs. If it does indeed burn TAO, why is that so? From what I understand, DAO is considered the best method so why doesn't iTunes burn using that method? And since all of my discs have been burned using iTunes does that mean they're of lesser quality than if they had been burned using DAO? Thanks to anyone who can answer these questions and settle my confusion.

Does iTunes burn Orange Book standard Audio CD's?

Hi.
We are going to use iTunes to burn an Audio CD master for a client. A colleague claims this is a bad idea because iTunes does not produce 'Orange Book Standard' audio CD's so they are not fully compatible.
Please can someone of some authority put us straight on this? I can find out very little about the audio cd bruning capabilities of iTunes so it would be great to clear this up. Many thanks!

No, iTunes does not burn Orange Book CDs. It only burns Red Book Standard CDs.
What this means is that iTunes does not support CD-TEXT, or Disc At Once burning. Only Track At Once burning is supported. But the discs are "fully compatible" modern CD players.
If you want more mastering options then macmenno is correct Jam is just about the best app on the market. The Roxio Toast with Jam package can't be beat for features and versatility.

Why does iTunes show tracks that I've ripped from a single CD as individual tracks with individual albums all with the same album name?

I've looked all the data about each track in terms of album name and other seemingly relevant pieces of stuff, but whenever I look at my songs by albums, it still shows these tracks individually. It's like the same album is repeated over and over instead of the album appearing once with all the tracks listed beneath it.

EG. A CD upload has all of the tracks appearing as indivual alumbs. But as its not physically on the computer anymore I dont seem to be able to do anything about it. Is there away for me to access cloud and rectify this? or manage it from a device?
Thanks
You can edit the "metadata" of the tracks in the cloud just as you would if the tracks were physically on your computer. Hightlight the tracks of the album you want to edit, do a Get Info..., edit "metadata," click OK.

Does itunes convert sample rates before burning to disc?

Question:
If I set up a playlist that incorporates tracks that have a 48kHz sample rate, does itunes convert to 44.1kHz during the process - or is the pre-existing sample rate retained?
Thanks.
-ptfigg.

I think it leaves it as-is if you burn as an mp3 or data disc. As an audio cd I believe it converts them to audio cd standards.

ITunes burned CD track info does not show in another mac.

iTunes burns a CD of imported LPs. Track info was entered with Audacity, saved as aiff and then imported into iTunes . The track info shows up in my car CD player but not another mac. Any suggestions?

Update: after trying 6 discs that failed, the next few worked fine. Both iTunes and Finder displayed the actual disk name and track names. However, going back to the previously failed disks did not change the outcome. They still failed. That worked for another 6 or so disks, then this morning I ran across another one that got looked up in iTunes, but not in Finder.

Why does my itunes say it cannot find the disc burner or software when I'm trying to burn a CD?

I loose both sound tracks of the last chapter when burning a movie to a disc in iDVD

I loose both sound tracks in the last chapter when I burn a project to a disc in iDVD. The sound tracks are there if I play the movie in iDVD before burning to disc, but as soon as I try turn burn to disc the original sound track & the sound track imported from iTunes disappears in the majority of the last chapter.
I'am using the latest version of iMovie & IDVD. The project in iDVD is listed as 96 minutes & 3.9GB & I'am using an LG single sided DVD 120 Min 4.7GB
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi
May be something here.
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
Minuscular - - 176x144
Mobile - - - - - 480x360
Medium - - - - 640x480
Large - - - - - - 720x540 960x540
HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Does iTunes 7 "Include CD Text" Burn Feature Work?

The CD player in my car will display the disc title and song name if it is encoded with CD Text information. It works well with Toast. I noticed that iTunes 7 has a Burn preference "Include CD Text" checkbox, but when I select it and burn a CD the info does not appear in the car.
Does anyone know what's up with this?

I burnt a CD yesterday with iTunes 7 and the CD Text feature turned on. I tried the CD in my car, a 2005 Nissan Aramda, but nothing displayed. I know the CD player supports CD text so I wondered if iTunes didn't burn the CD correctly. I started trying the CD in all my CD and DVD players. On my Sony DVD player, the disc did display the disc title but not the track titles. However, I'm not sure that it would since it's a DVD player. That at least told me that iTunes wrote something on the disc. Then I read that if you insert the CD you burned back into your Mac and launch Toast, select Disc Information under the Recorder menu, you can see a listing of all the burned tracks and the CD text that was written on the disc. Sure enough, iTunes 7 had burned the disc title, track name and artist for each of the tracks.
Given that iTunes appears to burn CD Text correctly, the mystery is why my car doesn't recognise it. I'm also wondering about the two standards for CD text and if maybe the one iTunes supports isn't the same as the one my car supports. I'm hoping that maybe someone else can shed some light on that.
Thanks,
Eric

Why doesn't iTunes use track names on burned cd's instead of querying Gracenote?

I run a recording studio and burn cd's of original music for clients. Sometimes when those clients open their cd in itunes, titles and artist names with no connection whatsoever to their music are displayed. Why does itunes not just use the titles burned with the cd instead of automatically querying Gracenote and arbitrarily assigning incorrect titles and artists to the disc? I have even imported such a disc into itunes, changed the titles and artist name, created a new playlist with those songs, and burned a disc from that corrected playlist, only to have it come up wrong again when the new disc is opened in itunes. This needs to be fixed. Some of those clients use the burned discs as booking demos, and having another artist's name and song titles come up causes confusion and embarassment.

ed2345,
No need for you to be an a-hole.
Fair enough, although you are better off getting that feedback from me than from one of your clients who puts 2 and 2 together.
I clearly stated that quite often these were unfinished projects, often with working titles that may or may not be the final title.
What you "clearly stated" is that your clients are having "confusion and embarassment." Is that not sufficient for you to get those discs into the database?
....if the names haven't changed will Gracenote accept a submission of the same titles but different running times from the same artist and delete the old one?
If the running times are different, it will look like a different CD to Gracenote. If the CD is not the final version, you should append its title with "Demo" or "Work in Progress" or a similar indication that will distinguish it from the final "real" version.
You may have a misimpression about Gracenote. Yes, they are authoritative about commercial CDs, but they have also opened their DB for submissions to any hobbyist with iTunes and a burner. They have tons of such things in their database. There is absolutely no need for you to avoid putting your stuff in there. In fact, since iTunes cannot read CD Text, there is currently no way other than Gracenote to solve the iTunes problem which brought you to this Forum.

Why does iTunes tell me the burner is in use?

When trying to burn music discs from iTunes, I'm now getting a message that "the burner is already being used by another application." It's really strange because that's not the case and iTunes burned CDs just fine for years until this past week.
I get the message every time I burn, whether I'm using the internal drive or an external one. I have two external DVD burner drives as well as the internal, and they all produce the same message. Usually, if I try many times by putting the same CD back in and trying again, eventually it will work. But it shouldn't be giving that message at all, so I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem.
I'm using iTunes 11.1.4 on OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 on a Mac Pro. I've never before had a problem burning CDs from iTunes.
I have Toast installed, but not running at the time this happens. I checked to see if a Roxio background helper app was perhaps running that I didn't know about, but nothing is listed in the console nor in my Login Items list. There are no apps running that might have anything to do with burning discs, so I'm totally puzzled.
That isn't the only problem, either. When I'm finally successful in getting iTunes to actually succeed, when it burns a multi-part disc, it always rejects the second CD, claiming that I need to insert a blank disc, even though the one I'm putting in is indeed blank. The only workaround is to take the playlist and eliminate all the tracks that were already burned, then creating a new disc from the remaining tracks. Then, of course, I go through the whole "the burner is already in use" message until after several attempts to insert the disc and have it spit out again it finally works.
The message comes up whether I put the disc in before clicking the "Burn Playlist to Disc" menu item, or if I wait until it tells me to insert a blank disc. But when it successfully proceeds to the "Checking media" step, it's usually when the disc is inserted before starting the burn.
I have to suspect that some kind of helper app is the culprit but for the life of me I can't figure out which one. I've seen other reports of this same message and none of those people are likely to have some of the same specialized apps that I run like Drobo or ScanSnap Manager or ChronoSync. I'm kind of willing to try a process of elimination but the prospect of continually removing an app at a time and rebooting is not something I look forward to. Could take up the better part of a day, costing me hundreds of dollars in lost time, so if anyone has an inkling of where to start I would really appreciate it.

I hadn't checked this, so I disconnected the external drives and tried again. Same thing.
FWIW, I had already tried deleting the itunes preference files and that made no difference.

TS1436 when i start i tunes it states registry missing files to inport export cd and when i try to burn a cd it states disc burning not found i re installed itunes still the same

When i start i tunes i get a message that states missing registry files for import and export files re install itunes so i did same thing and when i try to burn cd's a get "disc recording not found"

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)
iTunes for Windows: "Registry settings" warning when opening iTunes

When I download a long album from ITunes containing like 20-30 tracks, why does ITunes sometimes segregate one track and create a separate album out of it. I can merge the track into the other tracks on a playlist, but I can not merge the 2 albums.

When I download an opera album with lets day 40 songs (tracks). Why does iTunes create one album of tracks lets say 1 through 22, skip 23 and then 24 through 40. Then a separate album with track 23 is created. I can merge them together in a playlist but not as a single album. I go into the info under the file menu for each and make sure the information is the same but they still will not merge.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.

ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to? I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data. It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password. They took about 41+ dollars from my account. I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

No. From the second link below.
