Settings for burning iTunes audio files to play on commercial CD players

Hello All:
Requesting your help in setting correct preferences in iTunes in order to play my burned files onto a regular CD player. When I burn mp3s they are only audible on computer. I have a number of voiceover files recorded in AIFF and mp3 from Garage Band. When I burn them onto CD I can only play them on my computer. Your help is appreciated.
What setting can I use to resolve this? Thanks!

Some really old CD players do not like CD-R disks (which you have to use to burn a disk!). If this is the problem then there is not much you can do however consider the following options.
1. Try burning at a slower speed 4x or 2x or even 1x
2. Try a different brand of CD-R disk
3. Get a different (newer) CD player
Certainly from what you describe you definitely want to choose burning as Audio CD.

ITunes CDs no longer play on commercial CD players

I am frustrated and quite miffed with iTunes. Earlier iterations of iTunes made it simple to burn CDs of my music (when I say my music, I mean music that I composed). These CDs could play on virtually any CD player; the one in my home, the one in my car, the 1995 model covered with paint splatters and construction dust that I haul around in my trunk. Now, I can't get them to play on anything except for another computer. Yes, I have clicked the AUDIO CD button, varied burn times, etc. The fact is, I have done nothing different than what I have always done: just hit the burn button and got a quality CD that played on any CD player. iTunes has apparently changed in its continual updating sequences. If there is something I am doing wrong, please let me know. However, if these constant updates have been designed to phase out commercial CD player capabilities in a disguised attempt to make interfacing with commercial CD players obsolete, forcing consumers to purchase iPod accessories, then shame on Apple. If this is the case, I will no longer be an iTunes customer.

I appreciate the prompt reply and suggestions am happy to know that it is still working well for others, and relieved that it is not a marketing plot.;) I have tried burning from different batches and brands of CDs, each of the CD-R variety. Yes, I am able to successfully burn data. But, more than that, I am able to play the CD on any computer (including PC) with a CD drive; just not on on commercial CD players. I found an older version of Roxio Toast on my HD, but it only launches in classic and won't recognize my CD/DVD drive. I'll get a newer version and see if that works. Of course, that still doesn't solve the iTunes burning issue ("burning issue," indeed). Perhaps it's my drive. However, I also tried copying the music files to an HP, burned a CD-R on that system and got the same results. This is why I jumped to the conclusion that the problem may lay in the programming of the files. All I know is that it used to work wonderfully and now it doesn't.

A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit. When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays. It appears in the edit, but no audio is played. This happens consistently. What setting might be wrong?

That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
Thanks.

Fixing duplicate database entries for the same audio file

My iTunes Media folder is stored on a network accessible storage server. Since upgrading to 11.1.x, my computer seems to be duplicating database entries for the same audio files - for some albums, I have 4 entries for every song, each one pointing to the exact same file. The only difference between entries is rating info and play counts, which are specific to a particular entry (I think). Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there an obvious way to stop this from happening? I can delete and rebuild the database from media files, but that starts getting old if I have to do it every week or so. Is there a script to delete duplicate database entries? (I found a VB script on the iTunes for Windows community, but the offending machine is a Mac).
Thank you for any assistance!

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone 4s?

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone
4s?

You don't need to download an App.
My understanding is that you simply have to change the file extension from .3ga to.mp3 (on each file) and then they should play.
That said, it works on a Macbook Pro - I've just tried it.
Not sure about iOS though.
Please reply if it works for you.

Registry settings for burning cd are missing

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Audio bug with WAV files: use mp3, not wav for syncing long audio files

Just a tip:
I've noticed another audio bug in Presenter (including 7.05) but there is a workaround. I often export the audio as a single, long clip from pre-recorded lecture videos, and sync it with the powerpoint slides in Presenter. I've found it easiest to import the long audio file into the first slide, then sync using the Edit Audio window. I find that much easier to use than the Sync audio window.
However, If you use WAV format for the imported audio file, sometimes Presenter will simply refuse to play back anything beyond about 5 minutes into the timeline in the Edit Audio window. Nothing fixes it - restarting, re-importing, etc. However the problem goes away if you save the audio as mp3.

Why did you post this in the LiveType forum?
I would recommending posting your question in the Final Cut Pro forum.
Have you tried trashing your preferences?
Anyways... here is a thread with a similar problem:

No settings for Apple Lossless Audio Codec found in Compressor

For archiving reasons I have to convert many audio files to Apple Lossless (ALAC). So I thought it would be easy using Compressor 4 and and a suitable droplet. I was astonished that here are only settings for the following audio formats: AAC, AC3, AIFF, CAF, MP3 and WAV.
No Apple Lossless Codec in the settings?
Does anyone know how to create ALAC files

Thomas A. wrote:
This setting generates a QuickTime file with the extension .mov
Of course it does. Why would that be a problem? "Apple Lossless" is not a file format, it's a codec.
OK, if I change the extension manually to m4a it seems to be an ALAC file, but I am not sure if it a "correct" one in regard to the specifications.
There is no "ALAC" file format specification. What are you going to use the files for?
ALAC isn't specified at all. The audio codec is called "Apple Lossless", and it is a set of algorithms to encode audio data, and a specification for a bitstream of audio data encoded such. It can be put in various containers, the most common being MPEG-4 and Apple Quicktime, but nothing will stop you from using AVI, .mkv, .ogg or anything else as the container format.
If you're unhappy with Compressor, which only seems to offer the QuickTime container format for Apple Lossless-encoded audio, there might be other tools that will transfer it into another container while leaving the actual encoded data untouched.
Since the Apple Lossless codec is now free, mencoder might work, even for the encoding itself. I haven't checked MPEG Streamclip, Handbrake, VLC or others, which might also offer such options.
Quick tests didn't yield any success, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't work.
An alternative for lessless encoding is the "FLAC" (free lossless audio codec), which is usually stored in an ogg container file. I don't think Compressor offers that, although VLC does.
It seems that the exact thing you want is not readily available (i. e. mpeg-4 audio-only with Apple Lossless audio codec.)

I'm unable to change slideshow settings for flagged folder, when i hit play the computer locks up and i have to crash it

I'm unable to change slideshow settings for flagged folder, when I hit play the computer locks yp and I jave to crash it to reboot

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does not then the problem lies with your original library.
If that's the case try the following on your original library:
If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Commadn+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

3.In the ControllerListener's controllerUpdate method, use getMediaTime() by receiving a EndOfMediaEvent
However I think this method is not convenience, if I don't want to play it how I can get the length of the audio file?

Powerpoint - audio file not playing

Hi I created a PP presentation using PP 2010 and I inserted an audio file to play automatically throughout the whole presentation. I email it to a friend and it plays perfectly on her computer at home. However, when she tries to play it on her laptop at
school (they have Office 2007) the music doesn't play at all.
I've told her to delete the audio file and insert it again but it still isn't working - any suggestions?

What's the format of that audio file? Convert its format to .wmv and re-insert it.
Please copy the audio file onto desktop and directly play it through Windows Media Player, does it work?

Files converted automatically to Mp3 instead of mpeg when burned as audio files

Cannot maintain mpeg music playlist files when burning using audio file burn mode

They will be compressed to MP3 when published. It is always better to have an uncompressed file to start with, easier also to edit with audio software (Audition, Audacity) without quality loss. Be sure that it will be reduced largely when published. And please, don't shout.... why those big fonts?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
