ITunes no longer burning MP3 discs?
I am running iTunes 6.0.2 on my iBook which has, until recently, worked well. I don't know at what (upgrade) point things changed, but in the past when I created a long playlist and then selected 'burn' I would be told that the list is too long for a regular audio CD and then asked if I wanted to burn an MP3 CD. This no longer happens. Also, blank CDs no longer show up in the finder or on the desktop (so I can no longer put other files onto a blank disc); however, if I have a blank disc in the drive, I can burn a normal-length audio CD.
Please help.

Thanks. Yes, the box you mention in Finder prefs it ticked. The problem is with blank discs, they do not show up anywhere on my computer when they are in the drive; even though iTunes 'sees' them enough to be able to burn them. However, I like to burn other data to discs too, but can no longer do it since the disc does not appear on the desktop or in the Finder.
Thanks again,
R.

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?
JimThis 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 -
Hi, I came here in support of a new issue that has arose.
Heres the scoop: I have already created a playlist, click burn disc. It starts up fine as it has no errors when creating the disc. It then initializes, and says that it is burning the first track. However here is where the problem arises.
The status bar never moves, its just keeps saying burning the first track. The drive is spinning, sounding like it is burning regularly. So I let it sit for a while, come back, still the same exact place and the drive spinning like its burning. So I then click cancel after about 30 min. Of course it doesn't cancel, or won't eject so I force quit iTunes, and the disc stops spinning.
Then, once it quits, the disc starts spinning again and appears on the desktop, and iTunes reopens. The disc shows the right amount of tracks and the correct times, but when I go to play them, its just no sound.
I then try it again after restarting, and I get the same result. I even try changing the disc burn speeds and still the same result. Now I'm tired of wasting cds so I've come for help.
Some other details: I have recently updated to 10.5, before that I have been able to burn cds in iTunes with no such problem. Also, whenever I try burning unsuccessfully, more and more of my hard drive space gets eaten up and doesn't come back even when quitting iTunes until I restart. The drive is a dvd writer, but isn't factory installed, in the past versions of X I had to use patch burn to burn from the ilife programs, but its no longer needed in 10.5.A friend this morning says that he thinks that iTunes has put a DRM (Digital Rights Management) code on any music that is imported into iTunes, whether it is purchased from the iTunes store, ripped off a commercial CD, or even copied from your friend's homemade CD, and that's why after some time is elapsed, you can no longer make a music CD from playlists in iTunes. He compared it to Rhapsody, which allows you to listen to your downloaded music as long as you still pay your monthly Rhapsody bill. Could this be true?!?! I can still make an MP3 disc, or backup my iTunes library to a DVD, but I can no longer make a music CD. Like others have described, iTunes starts the process, checks the playlist length, initializes the blank music CD, and then stalls, saying it is writing the first track, but will say that all day. One has to force quit iTunes to get the disc out. It shows the correct disc title and track names when inserted in a player with this capability, but all one hears is static-like noise when the disc is played.

Receiving "internal error" when trying to burn mp3 disc from playlist
I'm trying to burn an mp3 disc from a playlist that I've created. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error. I'm currently running iTunes 11.0.2 on my iMac which is currently running 10.8.3. I've done this many times before, and this is the first that I've had this problem. Here's the error I keep getting:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. An internal error occured.
If you want to retry the current failed burn, click on Retry. If you want to go to the next disc burn, click on Next. Otherwise click on Cancel.
Here's how it goes down:
I've created a very long playlist which will require the use of multiple discs.
I right-click on the playlist and select to burn the playlist to disc.
I then get the usual burn settings pop-up menu where I select the "MP3 CD" format with a preferred speed of "Maximum Possible"
Note: Since experiencing this error, I have tried varried speeds ranging from 8x to 24x; I still get the error.
Note Also: I have tried selecting "Audio CD" instead, and the playlist will burn and the error does not appear. This is not an option I want to go with, however, because of the length of the playlist — it would take, like, 25 discs...
For a moment iTunes will read the disc, then ask permission for the playlist to be split across multiple discs. I say "ok".
At this point, iTunes will say that it is initiallizing for about a split second then immediately say it's finalizing and spit out the disc. This is when the error pops up.If I select to "Retry", it doesn't retry to burn; it just saves a .txt file to my desktop that is a copy of the error message. There's no error code/number or anything, though - just the exact same message. "Cancel" and "Next" seem to behave correctly, though.
I have tried repairing disk permissions and restarting my computer. I've also tried using different brands of CDs: Memorex CD-R and Innovera CD-R. The error persists.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!Some people (for reasons I don't know) have problems with Dynamic Link

Burning MP3 disc rearranged the songs
Greetings,
OK, I took 4 albums by the same group and made a playlist of the songs I wanted and jumbled them so they were no longer in their original order and all one album was together. I put them in the order I wanted. I burned an MP3 disc and on the burned disc all the songs were put back into their original order and in there original albums which were in alphabetical order. I don't want the songs in that order. I want them in the order I rearranged them in.
Why is it doing this? It didn't when I did this with 4 other albums by another artist months ago. It made discs with the songs jumbled up as I has listed them in the playlist. But even this old playlist from months ago, which burned just as I arranged it, now puts the songs back in their original order and the albums in alphabetical order.
How do I make it burn a MP3 album in the jumbled order of the playlist?Here are the instructions from the page you liked to:
How to burn by playlist order
Create your playlist.
Click "Song" to sort the playlist by song.
Make sure the songs are in the order you want to hear them on the CD.
Click Burn CD.
Insert a blank CD and burn the disc.
I have yet to find "Song" to click on. The word is nowhere to be found. It'd be nice if they'd tell us where "song" is so I can click on it.
I've also noticed the program sometimes will not "read" that I've inserted a blank disc.
None of this was happening last week. Is there a way to go back to iTunes before the last (lousy) upgrade? -
All my music is from legal sources (albums owned by me, others from iTunes), but the Burn Disc command does not appear in the File menu, and nothing I do helps. I downloaded a new version of iTunes, but it still loks the same and may just be the same. But the problem started long before I did that.

This did nothing. Where do I click on the playlist? As far as I have experienced, the playlist is a list of songs with ticks against them on the left. I can use the control key, but where do I point my cursor to select the playlist?
You don't even need to show the general Sidebar as suggested by others.
Select Playlists in the top buttons:
then control-click on the playlist you wish to burn in left column, e.g.:

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

Burn MP3 disc from IPOD software?
I have amassed my library of MP3 files into the Itunes library folder.
Then I created a playlist and tried to use the "Burn disc" option..... assuming that since these were MP3 files, it would burn an MP3 disc.
IT WON'T, it burns a standard WAV audio CD with the miniscule capacity compared to MP3.
How can I get the ITunes software to burn the playlist of songs to a CD in MP3 format?
Can I still use the song sequence feature of the playlist allowing me to move song positions in making an MP3 disc? (assuming it's possible to make an MP3 disc)
I have scoured the Apple site for support articles and found absolutely nothing on IPOD burning of a CD disc.Thanks. That is the control I couldn't find, I had to switch the burn mode to MP3 to be able to burn songs in MP3 format. Once I got it switched, it did burn an MP3 CD from the playlist.
Might be more usable if that select option (for format) came up as a selector box when one hits the "burn" icon to burn the CD.
There is so much stuff buried under layers of menus that it is very hard for the newbie to find things.
I did a search on the IPOD support site for "burn CD" and got absolutely nothing.
I'm thinking it shouldn't be this difficult to do simple things.
Thanks for telling me the location of the control. -
Burn MP3 disc with just tracks and no folders
You Guys Rock!!!
I would like to know how to burn an MP3 disc with just tracks and no folders. Right now, all songs show up as foler 1 song 1,2,3 --- then it will go folder 2 track 1,2,3,4 etc. I want to get it to simply read track 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc. all the way through the disc.
I typically get 80 songs on a standard CD-R disc. There may be 30 folders all with 2 or 3 songs within them. It is very confusing to scan through to the track I want to hear next.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Burning MP3 disc in "right order"
Hello everyone. I've been trying to burn an MP3 disc. Burning all the tracks onto a disc has been successful but for some reason, I have not been able to get it in the right as it reflects on the playlist. Can anybody help me?
Here are the instructions from the page you liked to:

Can't play PC burned MP3 discs w/out adding to library???
This is really annoying me...
When I insert an audio cd, an mp3 cd burned with iTunes, or even music files burned as a data cd with iTunes, the disc shows up in my source list, and I can play it without having the songs added to my library.
When I'm done listening, I eject the CD, and it's as if it was never there.
My roommate has all these mp3 discs that he burned on his pc (I think as data discs) that do not show up on the source list.
I usually drag the disc icon to a new playlist in order to listen to it.
I turned off "copy files to iTunes music folder", because I don't want his files on my hard-drive.
But the file names still get added to my library and when I'm done listening I have to go in and delete them all - Major pain in the butt.
Is there a way around this?
Even if I have to use a different app to listen to his discs - that's fine.
I just want to be able to pop in his discs, listen to them, and then pop 'em out when I'm done, without them leaving any 'residue' on my Mac.
Thanks in advance,
DennisJust downloaded & tested Audion.
Perfect!
Does exactly what I want it to do, nice and simple.
Thanks!
p.s. - wish I could change your post from "helpful" to "solved" but apparently I can't - sorry about that. -
It says, the attempt to burn disc failed. An unknown error (-3) has occurred. How do I burn a disc?
same problem. Im using itunes version 10.6.3, I converted wavs burnt from cd, to mp3 using itunes, these were NOT PURCHASED from itunes, and when I try to burn an mp3 cd using the new mp3 files, they convert to wavs before my eyes every time i create a new playlist of the mp3. The mp3 revert to wav within less than 30 seconds. As if itunes is saying, let me help, I substitute the higher quality 1411 wav files for you. And of course, now they wont burn to mp3, because "they must be converted to mp3 first" before burning.
But every list of the mp3 version of the files keeps reverting to 1411 wav files?
WHats going on? Thanks -
Why can't iTunes for Windows burn two discs at once?
Is there a way to get around this? I have many playlists I want to burn for car listening and only using one drive with one burn at a time is time consuming. I've heard that the Mac version can burn two discs at once and I wonder why the Windows version has been neglected in that capability. Any help or insight would be appreciated.
I have never heard that the Mac version can burn two discs at once. The Windows version definitely cannot. If you would like to make a suggestion to Apple you can use this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html However, I assume you are aware that the iTunes burning capability has not been enhanced in years.

ITunes won't burn multiple-disc playlists
My iTunes will not burn more than one CD in a series of 5 in order to burn an audio book that is almost 5 hours long. My iTunes is up-to-date with the version. What else is there to do?

Using AppleScript with Toast to burn MP3 disc
I'm trying to get Toast to add all the subfolders of a chosen folder to a new MP3 Disc. The attached script works fine except it adds the source folder, then puts all the subfolders inside it.
IE Disc layout becomes
Source Folder
----> subfolder 1
----> subfolder 2
How do I add just the subfolders of folderSelected?
set folderSelected to choose folder "Select a folder"
tell application "Finder"
set folder_name to name of folderSelected
end tell
tell application "Toast Titanium"
activate
set myDisc to make MP3 disc
set name of myDisc to folder_name
add to myDisc items folderSelected
end tellSorted it with a small code change:
set folderSelected to choose folder "Select a folder"
tell application "Finder"
set folder_name to name of folderSelected
set sourceList to every folder of folderSelected
set NoOfFolders to number of items in sourceList
end tell
tell application "Toast Titanium"
activate
set myDisc to make MP3 disc
set name of myDisc to folder_name
repeat with j from 1 to NoOfFolders
add to myDisc items (item j of sourceList as alias)
end repeat
end tell
