How do I burn multiple playlists onto cd

Hello all,
I just bought a new car and the stereo plays mp3 CDs. It has a feature where you can select and play an individual playlist from the cd. So there might be seven playlists on the CD (e.g., playlist one is Beatles, playlist 2 is Rolling Stones, etc.). Does anyone know if and how one can burn more than one playlist onto a CD using iTunes?. Please keep in mind that I want to keep the playlists separate on the CD. Thanks in advance.

iTunes doesn't burn the playlist info to a CD. It simply burns the songs on a playlist to a CD.
You can burn the songs in groups in one of three ways.
-> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60931
If you sort the playlist by song, it burns one directory will all songs.
If you sort by Album, it will put all song in an album in an album folder.
if you sort by Artist, it will put the song in an Album folder which is inside an Artist folder.
Then on the CD player, you should be able to scroll thru the Albums or Artist.

  • How do I burn multiple projects onto one DVD?

    I have several projects saved that are small enough to fit on one DVD.  Not sure, though, if I burn project #2 after project 1 has been burned, whether the software is smart enough to keep them separate and not over-write project #1.

    Once you have burned a Timeline content to DVD-VIDEO format on DVD-R disc, the disc is finalized and you cannot burn a second time on that same disc (no multisessions). Even if you use a DVD-RW disc, the program will erase what is on the disc before burning anything to it.
    Now, if you have 3 projects and you want to combine them to be part of one DVD-VIDEO on DVD, then you need to remember that you cannot import a project (project.prel) into another project.prel. So, you have going to have to export the Timeline of each of the projects to a file. The file type selected should be consistent with the goals of the project. To be discussed in more details if necessary.Then each file is brought into a new project (set with the appropriate project preset) which is burned to DVD VIDEO on DVD disc.
    Stop markers at the end of each of the first two files is done. But, never place a stop marker at the end of the last file on the Timeline. It is not needed and can cause problems in the project.
    Please consider and let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • How do I burn a video onto a dvd out of imovie 11?

    How do I burn a video onto a dvd out of imovie 11?
    Also the program churns and churns, till I'm able to do something else. Why so slow? Is there any render button?

    Here is a step by step on how to create a DVD from iMovie 10 using iDVD 7.1.2. If you do not have iDVD, you can probably substitute Toast (or one of the programs Pieter mentioned) everywhere I used iDVD (I don't have Toast so can't verify this).
    1. Create a project in iMovie 10.0.1
    2. Go to File>Share>File... and for Size choose Large 540P (960 x 540) and click Next
    3. Choose a location on the hard drive to save the file to.
    4. Wait for the blue circle activity indicator to finish.
    5. In Finder, verify that iMovie created an MP4 file in the location specified in step 3.
    6. Open iDVD and click "Create New Project."
    7. Give the project a name and save it to your hard drive.
    8. Drag the file you created earlier from the Finder into your iDVD project window.
         (or go to File>Import>Video... and choose your video there)
    9. Make any adjustments to drop zones, etc.
    10. Click the burn button.
    11. Insert a DVD and let it do its thing.
    This produces a working DVD for me.
    Here are my software specs:
    OS X 10.9 Mavericks
    iMovie 10.0.1
    iDVD 7.1.2

  • Burning multiple playlists?

    Is it possible to burn multiple playlists to a CD at one time? Thanks.

    In order to do this you will need to make a new playlist and drag all the playlists that you want to burn on one cd to the new playlist.
    Hope this helps

  • How do i delete multiple playlists created on iphone?

    I have a real mess.  My wife (on her iPhone 4) chose to "add a playlist" in her music app.  She did.  We have iTunes Match set up on our Mac and all iPhone and iPad devices (4 iPhones and 3 iPads).  Somehow the playlist cloned itself.  I know have over 16,000 playlists all the same name, with nothing in them.  It has basically locked up the music app on phones.
    I cannot delete them on my iTunes on Mac.  I have tried, delete & dragging to trash.  They will not delete.  I cannot choose multiples either.
    Does anyone know how to help?

    I have this issue too.
    Why is iTunes less useful than it was?
    for instance, I cant highlight and delete multiple playlists.  I can't see a "list" view of albums, stuck looking at artwork. 
    when you have a large library, this is unhelpful.     

  • How do I burn my videos onto dvd

    I tried burning a video playlist onto DVD afterwards I tried playing it but the files could not be read. Please Help!

    Movies and TV Shows purchased from iTunes Store cannot be burned to DVD in a format readable by traditional DVD Players. you are only able to burn them as data, readable by other iTunes capable computers.

  • How can I burn a playlist to a disc which will play in any CD player?

    I am trying to burn a playlist to a disc that I can play in a CD player. I have a HP Lightscribe DVD/CD burner. The software is Cyberlink Power2Go. I have wasted two blank dvd discs so far. They will play on my computer, but that's not what I need. I want to play them in a regular CD player, such as I have in my truck.
    When I choose "audio CD" I get a message that "I have chosen a CD but have inserted a blank DVD" and it won't let me choose anything else.

    You need to burn onto CD-R or CD-RW discs. You cannot burn to a blank DVD disc for the purposes of playing CD-Audio. They are different media with different characteristics, just like you can't play a DVD in a CD player.

  • Burning iTunes playlists onto a DVD

    I want to burn playlists from iTunes onto a DVD, primarily for backup purposes. But also, to give get them into another...PC...computer.
    I have iDVD 5, running Panther (10.3.9)
    I was told I could do this and it would work basically the same was as burning to a CD. Just “dragging” a playlist or playlists onto the DVD.
    However, when I went to iDVD help menu, it said:
    +You can also drag music files from the Finder to the menu or to the Audio well in the Settings pane, *but you can't drag playlists directly from the iTunes application.+*
    What’s the story?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok, but
    I was told you could use DVDs to backup virtually anything on your computer. Documents, photos and music.
    iDVD would seem to be one thing....but a DVD quite another. So I think I'm starting to "get it."
    For what I want to do, I would simply "drag" a playlist out of iTunes, onto the desktop, and from there drag said playlist onto the DVD. And I would have it. The tunes would then be able to be used as "backups" or to "play" on a DVD player, or to copy onto another computer...Mac or PC.
    Actually, for my purposes, wouldn't I simply drag the playlist "from" iTunes onto the DVD? And skip the going to desktop process?
    Am I right on this?
    thanks again

  • When I try to burn a playlist onto a CD, the songs come out in a different order on the CD. What am I doing wrong?

    When I burn a playlist to a CD, the songs come out in the wrong order. They appear to be in the order I want in the playlist. Any ideas what's wrong? I am using a dell laptop with Itunes for windons.

    WOW. That's a new one...
    Check out: https://discussions.apple.com/message/3972820#3972820
    Something to do with having the shuffle button enabled.
    Otherwise...
    Are you sure you didn't accidentally hit the "Name" header before burning?
    Does it actually PLAY in alpha order or are you looking at the disk in Windows explorer...?
    If none of the above is true, the most likely possibiltiy is that the playlist is corrupt. (I've been using iTunes since V1- have over a hundred playlists and that's never happened) Anyway, there's no way to "fix" a CD once it's been burnt.
    So... create a NEW playlist (you might even try with a couple different songs first just as a test) if that works, just copy desired songs to  a new Playlist, and burn again.
    If THAT doesn't work, it's possible your iTunes files (Library.itl / .xml) are corrupt. There's an article in the knowlegebase called something like "Recreate?  or rebuild? your iTunes Library" that explains exactly where these files dwell, and how to reconstruct it.

  • In attempting to burn a playlist onto a new CD, iTunes seems to burn about half the tracks then shuts down and issues an error msg. (4900) - although that msg. has rec'd a lot of attn., there does not appear to be an adequate or workable fix or suggestion

    In attempting to burn playlists onto new CD's, iTunes regularly completes half the burn, stops, ejects the CD and issues error msg. #4900.  Although there appears to have been similar problems for some time, I cannot locate any suggestions for fixing the problem.  I have installed the newest version of iTunes but that does not appear to have any effect on the problem.  Thoughts?

    I had the same problem after updating my DVD-Drive Firmware.
    Disabling the Option to burn "CD TEXT" solved my problem. Hope that helps !!
