Trouble Burning CDs that Actually Play on a CD Player

How do I burn a CD, using iTunes purchased music, that will actually play on a stereo system? It seems that songs purchased on iTunes and then burned as an Audio OR mp3 CD won't play on a CD players. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Check your CD burn speed. Often CD players can't read CDs burnt at the higher speeds. I try not to exceed 8X or 16X when I don't know what type of player the CD will end up in. You can change the burn speed by going to the "Edit" tab in iTunes, then select "Preferences", then "Advanced" and finally "Burning". I'm sure you probably know this, but make sure you're burning audio CDs unless your player can read MP3 discs.

    Make sure the format when you burn your playlist is one your car's CD player will recognize. Typically mp3 songs are readable now but when in doubt, burn an audio cd. Yes, you will get less songs per cd (as compared to mp3 formatted one) but you are guaranteed the cd will work in any place.  Most cars have it written on the radio somewhere what formats it can read for CDs.. Good luck!

  • Can no longer burn cds that will play in my car's cd player

    Yesterday I tried to burn a replacement CD for one that got damaged. The disc was one I created in Itunes a couple of years ago. It won't play in either my sound system's cd player or my car's. The only thing that has changed is the version of Itunes (current) and my OS which is now 10.6.8. I also bought an album from Wofgang's Vault, and got identical results. I tried to burn in both Itunes and straight to the CD burner. I tried audio format vs MP3. I tried a windows machine with a different CD burner, the same machine actually that I was burning Itunes discs on originally. Same results. Is this a Rights Management issue? Has something changed recently in this regard? How do I make CD's that I can play in the car?
    Thanks for your help

    Get a different band of CD-R.

  • Burned CDs no longer play on imac G5 - commercial CDs play okay

    My imac G5 is no longer recognizing any previously burned CDs. When I inset the CD I get "You've inserted a blank CD. Turn burn items on the CD....." etc. The CDs play okay in my CD player, just not on the imac.
    The imac still recognizes and plays commercial CDs and CD ROMS.
    I updated to iTunes+ two days ago. Since then I have been getting occasional "You're attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media." I have burned several CDs that also play on my CD player but will not play on the imac once the disc is injected and reinserted into the imac.
    I have run the utilities disc and done repair file permissions. I have run the repair utility and get a "No problems found" result. I have also run a memorex cd cleaner disc.
    I would suspect a hardware problem except it is only the discs I have burned that I get the "blank cd" notification.
    Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? This is driving me nuts!!!!
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    iMacs are notoriously picky about CDs and DVDs. I suggest you post to the iTunes forum, they are more likely to have experience with this sort of problem: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=789
    although I looked through the old posts there and couldn't find an exact duplicate of your problem.
    If you find a solution, please let us know,

  • CDs I burn from my itunes 10 on my macbook with snow lepard will not play in the regular cd player.  How do I burn Cds that will pay in a reg old cd player?

    CDs I burn from my itunes 10 on my macbook with snow lepard will not play in the regular cd player.  How do I burn Cds that will pay in a reg old cd player?

    When the computer was new, I had the same issue I have now.  It was new and I could not burn to play on a reg cd player. Today, I can not burn to play on a reg cd player. Inbetween, I could not burn to play on a reg cd player.  I keep giving up and then trying months later.
           I have recently made the cds that play on the computer.  I have also tried in the last month to make a dvd copy, it played.  I have gone to people's homes and tried the cd's burned in my computer. They are not recognized.  This last round I have only used the cd-r but have tried many others in the past. I am running out of money to keep buying different brands, kinds, etc.  I figured it must be my lac of knowledge and am trying to get some new here. 
    Sincerely,
    Paul

  • Burning CDs that store large amounts of music

    Hi, could someone help me?
    I know someone who has Windows XP and has a bunch of CDs that he plays in his car, and these CDs have a lot of songs on them, around 50-100 tracks.
    Is it possible for me to burn a CD with iTunes that plays 50-100 songs? Is it something to do with the formats? Please help. Thanks.

    Amy,
    Converting your current tracks will give you duplicates as you say. However you can always delete these quite easily by adding the Kind column to your Library view then sorting your tracks to segregate MP3 and AAC. You can burn your MP3 CD and delete the tracks afterwards. To add Kind, right click at the top of any Library column and choose Kind from the list. Use a smart playlist to gather up the MP3s by giving it the rule "Kind" is "MPEG audio file".

  • Is there a way to burn an imovie I made to a dvd that will play in my dvd player connected to my tv?

    Is there a way to burn an imovie I made to a dvd that will play in my dvd player connected to my tv?

    Yes but this has nothing to do with iTunes.
    Open the file in iMovie and select menu Share > iDVD.

  • I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library.  What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv?

    I've been using a flip video camera since 2009 and all of my videos are in the flipshare library.  What is the best way to burn all these videos to a DVD that will play on my DVD player/tv?  The flipshare library is taking up too much space on my Macbook and I wanted to delete these videos once they were all tranferred to DVDs.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • How do i burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    How do I burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    If you want to burn a video file which doesn't have any copy protection (DRM), there is a great free App called 'burn OSX'. Google it if you want to use it.
    If its a iTunes movie, and you want to play it on your TV you could use a cable connected to your iPod/iPhone/iPad or use an Apple TV box.

  • How do I save my slideshow in a format that will play on my DVD player?

    How do I save my slideshow to a DVD that will play in my DVD player?

    afaik, no, iMovie also relies on iDVD to do the actually burning to DVD.
    If you are looking for free software to do that, have a look at "SimplyBurns".            SimplyBurns rev416         
    I never tried it, since I have iDVD installed as part of the iLife Package, so I cannot vouch for it.

  • Burned disk will not play on car cd player

  • How do I separate short movie clips loaded from my digital camera to iPhoto 11 at the same time pics are downloaded and how do I get those video clips to a dvd that will play on a dvd player

    When loading pics to iphoto 11 from my camera, occassionaly it will include some video clips with the description of Movxxxx. I wonder if someone could direct me to some straight forward instructions as to how to transfer these video (movie) clips, which now exist in iphoto, to a dvd that will play on a dvd player as one might  expect to see a video play, including the audio that was captured at the time of filming.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer this novice.

    You need to open iMovie and it will have a event library called iPhoto Videos, click on that and the videos will load in the window next to it, then you make a new project in iMovie.  Then open iDVD and make a new project then import the movies to the program then burn to a DVD..

  • Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?

    Why doesn't my slideshow burned to disc not play on my dvd player or game devices?  I've created the slideshow using my Mac on OS X 10.6.8 & burned to both a CD-R & DVD disc.  The disc does work on my computer; however will not play on my dvd player, projectors or gaming devices.

    Did you use iDVD to create a video DVD or did you burn a Quicktime file version of your slideshow to a DVD disk via the Finder thus creating just a data disk?
    If you didn't use iDVD then that's the reason the disk won't play on those other devices.
