ITunes 11 - How do I burn mp3 CDs WITH folders??

I know how to burn mp3 cds on iTunes 11, but all the mp3s are thrown into a root folder.  I would like to be able to separate albums into different folders.  I'm sure this is pretty simple, yet I cannot figure it out.  This is for iTunes 11!  Thanks. 

If you sort the playlist by Album, they will be burned into Album folders on the CD.
If you sort by Artist, they will be out into Artist then Album folders.
See this -> iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD
(it should be the same with iTunes 11 but I haven't tried it yet)

  • Burn mp3 cds with protected AAC?

    i noticed the new itunes site said "Play them anywhere
    Create audio CDs to play in CD players like the one in your car or home stereo. Or make MP3 CDs to play on Mac and Windows computers and in MP3-compatible car stereos and CD players.".....does this include music you buy? why would they put this if it isnt even for music you can buy from them?

    No, I imagine that nothing has changed, and you can still only burn audio CDs from purchased music, not mp3 CDs.

  • Burning mp3 cds using AAC files

    How can I burn mp3 cds using AAC files from iTunes?

    You can't burn MP3 CDs from MP4 (AAC) files. You have to convert the AAC files in in iTunes to MP3 before you can burn them to MP3 disc.
    You can use iTunes to convert any copy protection free songs in your library another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. If you are using iTunes 8 go to iTunes>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings, change your option to MP3 for example. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
    One exception to this are standard copy protected songs (if you haven't upgraded to iTunes Plus versions) purchased from the iTunes Music Store which can't be directly converted due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. However you can burn these to an Audio CD which will work like any regular CD.

  • Third party tool for burning MP3 CDs?

    Hi,
    Are there any third party tools for burning MP3 CDs from an iTunes library?
    The iTunes functionality is not sufficient for me for two reasons:
    *) I have ALAC files in my library and iTunes won't convert them for putting them on the CD. I know I can convert them in iTunes, but I am looking for a more elegant solution.
    *) iTunes seems to put all files in the root of the CD. My car stereo does not use MP3 tags but subdirectories to recognize albums, so I need a directory for every album.
    Any hints are appreciated!
    Thanks, Robert

    Easily done. See iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD. Basically, if you sort the playlist by album, iTunes will burn the MP3 CD with album folders.
    Thanks, that solves the second problem, which was the more pressing anyway.
    Do you maybe also have an idea how to get rid of the number in front of the album title in the directory name?
    Cheers, Robert

  • Troubles burning mp3 cds

    i'm able to burn audio cds fine but whenever i attempt a mp3 cd, it is never able to finish during the "finishing" stage. it usually just freezes. this whole process is very strange to me considering i used to burn mp3 cds several times a week a few months ago then i took a break, now this happens...
    any suggestions?
    also, i have already uninstalled and reinstalled as well as performed a system restore.

    I am rumming Windows XP and the latest version of Itunes 7.1. The question I have is this, does music have to be stored on the hard disk in MP3 format in order to burn an MP3 CD? In reading the documentation I get different answers.

  • How to legally create 150 CDs with 6 songs for free distribution

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to legally create 150 CDs with 6 songs (all different artists) to be handed out at a conference I am speaking at.  The CDs will be handed out at no charge.
    If there is no way to do this, how can I pay for the songs efficiently? (As opposed to downloading the songs 200 times)
    Thank you!

    Simon,
    Songs sold in the iTunes Store are for personal use only.  This is specified in the Terms Of Service that all customers agree to as a condition of shopping there.

  • I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info.  Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song.  No Audio CD it seems to function OK.  The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

    I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago.  I can no longer burn MP3 Disk with Song/Artist info onto disc.  It comes up as No Artist/No Title on car CD unit.  Old MP3 Disk previously recorded still show all info.  Sometimes only every 3rd song is on the MP3 CD.  On Audio Disc there is no change and all info still shows up.  The new I-Tunes version has the "cloud" on it if that could make a difference.  In the select Burn CD mode I can select testing and add song info for Audio Disk but it shows shadowed out for MP3/Data.  I added and removed ID tagging from my list to see if that made a difference but it didn't.
    Any Thoughts?

    This may help.  Audio files are actaully in the DATA folder.  These can be editted with Soundbooth then they must be imported intot the specific slide in the Powerpoint presentation.  Publish the presentation (as you'll read below) and *should* work This reply came from robva65 [email protected]
    Let's try this: *Publish* the PPT deck you have.  What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the *data folder* that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive)  Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
    Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3  As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck.  And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck.  I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
    So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier.  Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.
    Hope this helps ~rich

  • How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

    How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success!  Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion.  While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post.  A suggestion in that direction would help.
    Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media.  It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD".  A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV.  Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago.  I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems.  There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
    If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

  • ANY way to burn MP3 CDs/DVDs with folders on iTunes??

    Hey all, so I was trying to backup my mp3 collection onto a burned DVD or two (it's pretty big), but that could still play them when I put it into my computer now and then.
    iTunes has always been pretty good about burning MP3 discs that'll easily play in your computer (I haven't yet tried burning a DVD as an MP3 disc, but I've heard they work the same). However, the one drawback about it that I see is that the MP3 discs don't really separate the actually albums/songs on the disc when you try opening it on the desktop into actual folders by album/artist/etc., they're all just kind of cluttered together (so if you wanna recopy/reburn an individual album off an MP3 disc back to your computer, you've got to do a Show File in Finder on iTunes and hunt & drag 'em in the Finder, as opposed to just having one folder that you can drag back onto the desktop, Toast, etc.) And that's just with one 650-700 MB CDR; if you're dealing with 4.7 GIGS of music, you can see how it'd be a pain to organize and keep track of).
    I know that for PC, Windows Media Player can find any play data CDs with music on them pretty easily. Is there a similar player for Mac users??
    I hate to ask about other programs on an iTunes forum, but maybe you guys can relate to this problem, have found ways to deal with it (in the past I've just color-labeled the songs according to album so I can visually see which songs go with which on the Finder, but again, you can see how that'd be a pain to do w/ 4.7 GBs worth). Thanks.

    Sort the playlist by Album and Burn and the DVD will be in Album folders.
    Sort by Artist and Burn and the DVD will be in Artist/Album folders.

  • How To Use "Burn MP3 CD" Function in ITune that Will Burn Contains Folder ?

    Hi, need help here.
    I create a Smart Playlist for an artist.
    In the Snmart Playlist there are 10 Albums by this Artist.
    Total size in this Smart PLaylist is 650MB.
    So I decided to burn all into a MP3 CD.
    Insert a CDR and click the "Burn MP3 CD" button.
    The MP3 CD I got is all song in the disc but without folder.
    If I would like to have folder for each album is it possible to do it by using Itune ?
    Thanks in advance.

    If I would like to have folder for each album is it possible to do it by using Itune ?
    Yes, it is. Just sort the playlist by album.

  • Burning mp3 cds- what rate?

    At what rate will Itunes burn an mp3 CD? Will the quality be as good as my 128kbps AAC files?

    iTunes can convert them for you.
    Converting in iTunes means making copies of the songs in the new format of your choice.
    Go to Preferences>Advanced>Importing and select 'MP3 Encoder' at 'Import Using'.
    Select 'High Quality (160 kbps)' at 'Setting:'
    Select your songs that need conversion (are not MP3s) and choose 'Convert Selection to MP3' from the Advanced menu in the menubar.
    When the conversion is done, select the converted files and others that didn't need conversion and put them in a playlist.
    Add the 'Date Added' column in View Options (command-J) and sort on Date Added to quickly find the converted copies.
    In Preferences>Advanced>Burning set the 'Disc Format:' to 'MP3 CD'.
    Select the playlist with your MP3's and click the 'Burn Disc' icon.
    To set the play order of the MP3s, read this article:
    iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD
    If your original songs are AIFF or Apple Lossless, you can choose 192 kbps MP3, although you probably won't notice any difference with 160 kbps on home audio systems. If you have a high-end system you could notice the difference.
    Converting 128 kbps AAC to 192 kbps MP3 isn't of much use, 160 kbps will do. The reason for this is 'transcoding' them from one lossy format into another lossy format. That won't do good to the audio quality.
    If you want the best quality, re-import your CDs in AIFF or Apple Lossless and then convert them.

  • 7.6.2-burned mp3 CDs won't play in players that 7.5-burned versions did

    I have discovered yet another beef with iTunes 7.6.2... does anyone else have this problem?
    mp3 CDs burned in iTunes 7.6.2 on my Intel iMac will not play in my car player, while identical mp3 CDs burned in itunes 7.5x on my iBook G4 WILL play in my car player (too bad my main library is on the iMac). The 7.6.2-burned CD's will play in my son's new car player, but not mine, which is a couple years older.
    What the heck??? Is there some hidden change that now mp3 CDs burned in the newest iTunes will only play in some kinds of players, whether or not the players are all marked as mp3 compatible?
    What does anyone know about this issue?
    Because i have to decide whether to buy a new car stereo, or deinstall 7.6.2 and go back to some earlier version (i really don't like to navigate iPod menus while driving, i prefer CDs, so using an iPod instead isn't a good solution for me). or is it the intel iMac that is causing the problem? It doesn't matter what burner or user account i use- i tried an external burner, and i tried another user account. The burned files are identical, they aren't an issue.
    I am in OS 10.4.11 on the iMac and 10.4.7 on the iBook, if that makes any difference (frankly, i'm afraid to upgrade the iBook to newest versions at this point).

    Just on a hunch.
    Pop one of your 7.6.2 burned MP3 disks in a computer and check if the music is nested in folder by the Artist and Album. Then do the same with one of your older burned disks.
    Some older units will not accept MP3 disks with the media grouped in folders. I found this to be the case on a couple of MP3 capable machines that are just a few years old.
    My current version of iTunes (7.7 needed for the iPhone v2) seems to only burn MP3 files nested in folders. I found a machine that had not been updated and was still running iTunes 7.0.2 and burned an MP3 disc with all the files numbered and in the root of the disc.
    Also, make some older MP3 units do not like the variable bit rate and may also be choosy about the bit rate is. ie 128 vs 160 vs 320

  • How do I burn MP3 files to CD at a lower bitrate?

    I'm a newbie to Mac and to iTunes, so pardon me if this is a frequently asked question. As a former user of Windows Media Player, I am used to being able to burn my MP3 files to CD at a lower bitrate (128) than what the MP3 files saved on my computer are (320). In WMP you tell it what bitrate you want the files encoded at, it then re-encodes them, burns them to CD and then deletes the re-encoded files from the hard drive.
    Am I missing something in iTunes or is this not possible? It looks like I might be able to do each step of these steps manually, but I'm not quite sure how to save the converted files to a different folder than the originals. If this is not possible in iTunes, can someone recommend a program that will do this. Thanks!

    You can easily burn them into artist folders onto the CD (which is not what you previously asked).
    Create the playlist.
    Sort on Album or Artist and then burn it.
    The songs will be put into Albums or Artists.

    How can I convert them?
    iTunes can only burn an MP3 CD from songs that are already in MP3 format.
    If you have songs in other formats, you can use iTunes to convert them to MP3 by this guide:
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    Note that the conversion process creates a new MP3 and leaves the original in place.  When you are ready to burn your MP3 CD, make sure you are using the newly created MP3s, not the original tracks.
