Problem backing up media in itunes

Question

ok so i bought a new computer and i'm using the "back up entire itunes library and playlist" feature to burn them onto a dvd and then using that to "restore from the disc" feature on the new computer. as explained in this lnk http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392
here are the steps:
1: select back up entire itunes library and playlists
2: insert blank cd/dvd(i tried both cd and dvd dual layer and regular)
3: itunes does a 3-4 minute scan
4: message pops up that the libarary is too big to fit on one disc and that if you wish to backup to multiple discs
5: i click on data option
6: then oddly enough a message pops up to insert blank disk and the previuosly inserted disk is ejected
i've tried all kinds of discs but the same thing happens
i done the basic common sense stuff like shutting off the computer etc and making sure the discs are in good shape etc
but when i try to burn just one playlists onto a regular cd it works fine
please help
thank you
sean

Answer 1

This is incorrect.
The tags are part of the song file itself.
Album art is not backed up.
If you wantto back up everything, simply back up the entire iTunes folder.
