ITunes audio cd burning gap track problem

Hello! When I burn an audio cd in iTunes, and chooses to have a gap between the tracks, there still is no gap between the tracks on playback of the cd.
I have tried both 2, 3 and 5 seconds gap, but yet no gap.
I have also updated my iTunes.
Seems like a bug in iTunes? Anyone who can help?

Is any crossfading turned on? Go to the iTunes menu, Preferences, and on the Playback section make sure it's turned off. The gapless playback feature was removed with itunes 11 (and never really affected playback anyway, which is probably why they removed it).

Eject button no longer works after iTunes audio CD burn

Hi, after upgrading to the latest version of iTunes, the eject button on my drive does not work after burning a CD.
It still works with other applications, just not iTunes (but it did before the latest upgrade).
Luckily, I can still eject disc's using the iTunes, or Windows Explorer software - but it's a pain.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!

For my Matshita UJ-831Da CD/DVD drive, the driver version showing in device manager is 5.1.2535.0. I just now clicked on "update driver" and the reply was that a newer version could not be found.
But why would doing a "Run Diagnostics" in iTunes now freeze / crash my whole system when it never did before? It only began doing that after it also began failing to burn CDs. Again, the iTunes software is the only software that has ceased to burn CDs.
Several months ago, I finally reached by phone a girl at Apple tech support who first denied there were any known problems. But when I told her that the web was full of thousands of people screaming about this very issue she recanted and admitted that iTunes was having these problems, that they had posted the fix for some of the other CD/DVD drives but not mine. She then said, "but if you pay $35 I'll tell you how to fix it." Absolutely unethical. That's like buying a car then being told that there's now an extra fee for being told how to start it. She may have lied about knowing what the fix is, but either way it's absolutely unethical.
The problem is iTunes. iTunes changed and now won't drive the same current drive it worked with when iTunes accepted my money, in advance, to purchase and burn music at future dates. iTunes should fix the problem.
I'm willing to go through the leg-work, to try all of Apple's instructions here, but Apple also needs to follow through with this.
Thanks again for your help.

After upgrading to latest version of iTunes audio CD burning issues

Hi,
I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and now when I try to burn a playlist as an audio CD it keeps telling me it won't fit on one CD and I have now gotten the playlist down to 1 hour and it is an 80 Min CD and it still won't let me do it. Anyone else having an issue and if so is there a solution?
Thanks,
Mike

I've seen this once before and deleting the playlist and recreating it with a different name solved it.
Also... try using disk utility to burn a data CD to make sure that burning generally works. Daft I know, but there you go.

Itunes is only allowing me to burn one track to a cd

i have never had this problem until today but itunes says it can only burn 1 track to each audio cd. this has never happened before and i regularly burn cds. it says that it will require multiple audio cd's for a playlist and only burns 1 song to each disc. these songs are average (3-4 min.) length so i dont understand the problem. any suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem since downloading Itunes 8.0, in that when I burn a CD, it burns the first 2 or 3 songs, and then quits with an "error 4200" message. I've tried everything. Apple support sent me the basic instructions on "how to burn a CD"! I've been burning CDs with ITUNES since 2000. I've tried every fix I can find and recently decided to switch to MP3s because the WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER on my computer will burn CDS just fine.
One thing that I am finding is the BRAND of CD-R can affect performance of your burner. I'm going to try to switch to another major brand of CD-R and see if that makes a difference. The ITUNES burner software seems to be a little more finnicky than the Windows software. Unfortunately, there is no other software available for Itunes because of their proprietary system of MP4s they use, and you can't convert them to MP3s to use the Windows software.
So after many years of being a happy ITUNES customer, I'm switching over to MP3s and going to use the Windows player and AMAZON as my store. I recently began to re-buy music that I had in ITUNES using AMAZON and downloading the same songs as MP3s.

Itunes won't burn audio cd

itunes asked me to update so here i am version 10.6.3.25 i'll
be reluctant to upgrade in the future... IF i can resolve this error!!
it now fails to burn audio cd's. previous version had no problem.
before anyone says anything about my cd burner... since the upgrade
i've used nero to burn itune files to an audio cd just fine. it's
NOT the burner. also after the upgrade itunes imported a prerecorded cd
with no problem.
now whenever i select "burn playlist to disc" itunes status appears "preparing disc"
then error popup comes up "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occured (-3)"
i also tried burning WITHOUT "Include CD text"
i could use nero but prefer itunes for burning cd's... can anyone help?

I'm having a similar problem, but without any error message at all.
I have a number of audio files that I created myself using garage band. These were converted by Quicktime to .mov audio files and loaded into my iTunes library. Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I was able to burn audio cds from playlists containing these audio files with absolutely no problems.
After upgrading to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) my software update told me that I also needed to update my iTunes. What a mistake that was!
Now, when I select a playlist and tell it to burn an audio cd, it asks me to insert a blank disc. Then it looks like it's starting to prepare the disk image - at least for a couple seconds. Then it just quits and goes back to the state it was in before I attempted the burn. The cd is still inside the drive and the only way I can eject it is to quit iTunes.
I might add that, since all these files are my own original creations, none of them are protected in any way, so there is no reason for iTunes not to allow them to be burned on as many cds that I want.
I know my disc burner is working because I am able to burn audio disks using the 3rd party software called "Burn."
The audio files are also OK, because I can play them in both iTunes and with Quicktime.
I really hope someone has an answer for this. I need to burn a lot of CDs. My church choir members use them to practice their singing parts. The "Burn" application I am now forced to use works, but it is very awkward to use. I wish I had never "upgraded" my system. I GUESS IT REALLY WAS A DOWNGRADE!
Help!!!

Sometimes when burning a cd with iTunes it doesn't burn all tracks selected.

When I burn an audio cd sometime all tracks aren't burned to the cd. It might burn the 1st 4 tracks and then for the rest it makes a sound like theres a plug not all the way plugged in wasting my cd. What is causing this problem. If I burn an mp3 cd everything usually works out fine.

This same thing happened to me about two months. ago. I bought a new harddrive for my previously-fried netbook, and when I installed iTunes it gave me the missing registry business. So I came online and looked for solutions. This solution led to a different 'can't burn' error in iTunes, and I found a solution to that one, and it was like I was running in circles for a solid two weeks. Finally I managed to fix the problem, but after trying it hundreds of times I couldn't tell you which solution won out. Well, everything was fine and dandy, until I upgraded iTunes last night. Now its back to the same registry settings problem, and I want to maim something. Someone please help me ;___;
I'm running Windows 7 by the way, on an Acer aspire netbook

Got this weird problem that I havent come across in any other postings. When I try and burn a cd from iTunes it completes burning apparently ok. But when I test back the cd all the track points have slipped so they're not at the start of each tune as they should be. It even cuts off a fraction of the first tune. This must corrupt the cd in a way as altho it plays okay on PC it doesnt play on my hifi cd player anymore, which it used to do. When I say used to, the only difference i can think of is that I have my itunes library on an external drive now (as you can see from my diagnostics). I burned cds fine when the library was on my c drive. Maybe this is coincidence, I dont know. If this is the problem how i can get mend it? Thanks.

If I'm guessing correctly, you've successfully burned an Audio CD. Use a program taht reads Audio CDs (iTunes, MusicMatch, Windows Media Player, etc.), and you'll be fine.

ITunes 7.1 Burning Problem

When I create a new playlist and burn that playlist to a blank cd in iTunes 7.1 it'll burn the tracks but it never seems to finalize the disk and iTunes locks up. Is this a common problem? What can I do to fix it?

acck. sorry to be a pain, but could you let us know which particular family of ThinkCentre you've got?
the CD diagnostics tell me your Type and Model ... but i need to enter the family first in the downloads and drivers page in order to enter that info in order to have a look at the available downloads ... and Lenovo is telling me that there are a bunch of different ThinkCentre families. see:
Lenovo Downloads and drivers
... the following document may be of some assistance with tracking down your particular ThinkCentre's family:

Why Don't Burned Audio CDs Retain Title & Track Info?

I tried to burn an audio CD several ways, and it still won't retain the CD title that I have assigned, or the track names.
When inserted into other computers, the CD is called Audio CD and the tracks are called Track 01, Track 02...
What's worse is that when you insert these CDs into other Macs, iTunes tries to guess the name of the CDs & tracks, and since the audio isn't on iTunes (they are just boring lectures that were recorded here), iTunes tries to assing some crazy title to the CD & tracks.
I have checked the box that says "include CD text" on both iTunes and Toast, and this still keeps happening.
Why can't the CDs remember the names of the tracks, or at the very least, the names of the CDs?

You're welcome.
We all need someone else to point out the obvious from time to time.

Gaps in audio when burning on dvds and cd

When I burn a dvd and add audio, I have gaps in the playback on the audio only.

Hello BCRC,
What make / model computer are you using?
What operating system?
What program are you using to burn the DVD's and CDs?
By gaps are you meaning that there is a gap from one track to the next and you are looking to burn gapless discs, or are you referring to the audio actually skipping parts of the audio when burning?

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how

Can anyone help me with a problem i am having with my music on my iPhone 4S. I have put alot of Compilation CDs in my library on iTunes. I download these tracks onto my phone, everything is ok so far. Now, this is what is niggling me and I don.t know how to resolve it. This is my problem:
Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
Thanks for your help

Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

Best to update the firmware on your TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L632H optical drive with that one.
Dell first fixed the bulk of the 2131 issues with that with the rev 300 A02 firmware, but there have been a lot of firmware updates issued by Dell since then, too, for that drive.
Probably the easiest way to update is to head to the dell Downloads and drivers page, and enter your Service tag:
http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/
That should show you the latest available firmware version for the TSST drive.

I have asked now twice!!!! Did iTunes make a change that makes AUDIO cd's not read on older cd players? The iTunes AUDIO discs I burn in mixes no longer play in my 2004 Chrysler, 2006 Toyota, or my home cd player. PLEASE HELP.

You would call Apple Support, for which you would probably be charged for the support.
Note that just because those CDs work with your old computer doesn't mean that it's still not an issue with those CDs and the burner in your newer system. Some CD brands just don't work well with some optical drives. If you haven't tried a different brand, and if you're using CD-RW trying CD-R, I would suggest you give that a try just to eliminate that possibility.
