Trouble with burning mp3 CD

Okay, so I recently tried to burn an mp3 CD and it did that fine.
But when I went to listen to it, the way it was burned was every artist in a separate folder and so I cannot read on my CD player what song is playing, and it makes it hard to find something to listen to.
Is there any way to make it so that this does not happen? It never happened before I had iTunes.

Well I made a playlist and then I put a CD in and burned it, however I changed the format to burn an mp3 cd first, so it wouldn't be an audio one.
All of them are in .mp3 format and no, none of them are purchased from the music store.

Free - Alternative DVD apps - trouble with burning

Hello All,
I am still trying to help my son burn the video.
He made his movie in iMovie; it's 63 minutes long, and he got it into iDVD and made menus and such. When he tried to burn it, he ran into issues, though. Selecting any of the encryption options (even Pro, which is supposed to be able to handle movies that long) led to an error message when burning. After trying to prepare the menus, the message was that encoding the menus did not work (no specifics or anything). Any guesses as to why this is happening? Or can anyone recommend another program (preferably free) that would be capable of burning a movie of this length?
Thank you! Jim

What version of iMovie?
Any way you can get iMovie HD6? Works great with iDVD 8/9 since it is .dv format.
Be sure you have set iDVD's encoding preferences to either High or Professional Quality...not Best Performance, which is for movies less than 60 minutes.
Check the settings on the menus and submenus to be sure their durations are not too long. He will have to open the inspector window and manually move the slider to make the menu durations shorter.
Be sure that he did not use unauthorized audio in the menus.
Be sure to set the burn speed to slower....4x or less.
I have not made a DVD from iMovie 8 or 9, still sticking with version 6, but I do use iDVD 8/9 (they are the same), and I am running 10.5.8, too. I have had no trouble with iDVD and do find it simple--just so you know that it does work well. Most of my movies are just under 2 hours, most with many chapters, and most of them 30-75 GB in size.
If you could post the error messages, it might help us find out where the problem is.

Trouble with burning only CDs

I'm confused.
Do brand new unused CD-R disks deteriorate over time? Or do I have a faulty Optical Drive?
I don't burn discs often so I'm no expert. I've got a stack of CD-Rs (around 50 I think) that I have gradually been working through over several years. I'm getting towards the bottom of the stack until now I'm looking at the last 6 or 7 blank discs of that stack.
I keep trying to use these discs but my iMac won't even boot them onto my desktop. To eject them I have to restart my iMac and force them to eject by holding down the left mouse button while the iMac starts up. Disk Utility can't see them. Up until recently my CD-Rs have worked fine. In fact it wasn't until I wanted to update my Disk Warrior (DW) CD that a problem began to appear.
I tried to update DW. All appeared fine. I used the newly burned DW Update in my iMac. DW got part way into loading (most of the way in fact) and then froze. I've been using DW and it occassional updates for many years and this was the first time that I had used an Alsoft Update CD and have it fail to boot up. So I binned it and tried again assuming the CD-R was a duffer. So I burned another copy, tried it in my iMac and it worked fine.
So I had two DW discs. One duff, one okay.
My Dad had a problem with his iMac. I used the duff disc (just curious, you know). Somehow it now worked fine!
Lately I can't get any of my remaining CD-Rs to appear on the desktop and I have to restart, holding down the left mouse key, to get then to eject.
I bought some CD-RWs. These worked fine for a while. So I inferred that the original CD-Rs had degraded to unusability somehow and thought no more about it.
Until today.
I was in a hurry to burn some documents to a CD-RW but the process failed on the verification stage. Could reading be a problem but burning be okay I wonder?
All discs work fine on my daughters MBP I noticed.
I now find that only blank CDs appear on the desktop. Some commercial CDs and ones with home made content get spat out again after the drive spend a minute or two making chugging noises. Then again other such CDs work fine or work okay the next day. DVDs don't seem to be affected - mostly. Hybrid SACDs work one day, not the next.
Most confusing, but the trouble I get burning anything reliably makes me think the drive itself could be on its way out. There are no software settings that I have touched let alone think of.
I wonder, is there any software available that I can use to test the device out? The Internal optical drive is an OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A.

I tried a different brand of disk, but it only copied up to half way through song 9 and not finishing the rest, and gives me the same message. can anybody help?

Trouble with burned DVDs

Hi, my iBook has stopped reading burned DVDs or CDs. Also, it does not recognize blank discs to burn new material onto them. It plays commercially bought DVDs and CDs just fine, but when a burned or blank disc is inserted (even ones that it created), it spins it around a few times then ejects it. The discs I've been using do play on other computers, just not mine.
What could be the problem, and how could I fix it? Would you suggest finding an external drive, or doing internal work? In every other way, this is still my perfect computer, and I would love to keep using it to make DVDs.

Hi,
It does sound like the Optical drive Lens is on its way out, I would suggest going with a external DVD burner, as it will be much faster and a whole lot cheaper then getting the internal replaced.

Trouble with MuVo mp3 pla

I downloaded music to my new MuVo mp3 player but the player says there's no music on it. When I plug the mp3 player into the computer, I can see all the songs I downloaded but when I turn on the player - the message is no music. Please help. I can't wait to start enjoying listening to music everywhere I go. Thanks

Are the songs in the right format? I assume the muvo is compatable with mp3/.wma/.wav Are your songs in those formats? I have a muvo tx fm 256mb and those are pretty much the files that I think it supports. Are your songs in those forms?

Trouble with VBR MP3s

I currently have 2x DMP100s, 1x DMC250, and 1 DMWR1000.
All my media is hosted on a UPNP NAS server, then organized into directories by type (music, movie, tv show, audio book), then Show/Artist/Author, then Season/Album/Book.
I have run into some problems, and am wondering if anyone has found a workaround.
1) Some music will not play past a second or so, or even at all. I believe this is due to a semi-high VBR (variable bit rate) some of the music is encoded up to the lower 300s. Has anyone else had this issue? I can not find the specs of what is officially supported, so that I know how to re-encode everything so it will play properly.
2) DMC250: Why does this have an option for video and pictures when it does not appear to be able to play either, and does not have any type of video out?
3) The DMC250, and the DMP100 both seem to lack a fast forward for the current track. I have 45min long audio book segments, and it is just not practicle to play these without the fast forward/rewind function.
4) Please someone take the initiative to write an android app for the controller. The battery life on mine is horrible, the interface needs work, buttons don't respond as well as a capacitive touchscreens, and I hate having an extra controller.
5) Any direct access tricks to access the devices to config manually? LELA is incredibly annoying.

At first I thought there was something wrong with my iPod, but I'm glad to hear this is a common software fault.
I just re-coded my MP3 collection to VBR and find that about 10-20% of my files skipps on my iPod nano (2nd gen). I might up the quality of the VBR and seee if that makes any difference.

Trouble with burning a cd

When I go to burn an Audio CD onto a CD that is able to have 80 minutes
of music on it, iTunes says that the songs in the playlist will not fit
on one CD but the total time is under 80 minutes.

This information has come from another user in these fourms. After you get the cd
out restart your computer and start from scratch.

Trouble with Burning and dragging music to playlist

Hello, I have recently downloaded the new version of ITUNES and I am having some problems. One is I can't burn cd's. It's not that it wont let me, it's that the option doesn't exist. I've searched everywhere throughout Itunes, and cannot find out how. My other problem is I also can't make playlist. In the other version, I would simple drag the songs I wanted to the desired location. Now I can't drag them anywhere! Please help me.

Check the songs you want to burn from the playlist. Delete any songs by highlighting the song and then press
"shift-delete". Put in your new cd-r disc. Then look on the right bottom of the screen and there should be burn cd button. Push it!

Trouble with burning cd

I was trying to burn purchased songs to cd. I inserted cd and had my play list up, I clicked on burn. It told me how many songs and how long but it just sat there. Do I have to click something else? What am I not getting? Any help would be appreciated.

Trouble with burning

When I try to burn a playlist, iTunes keeps telling me there's not a blank cd in the drive - but it is blank! Does anyone know why I keep getting this error message?

You might want to check to see if you have the correct burner selected in the preferences box. To do that do the following:
1. In iTunes click on EDIT
2. Then click on PREFERENCES
3. Then click ADVANCED
4. Then click BURNING
For the CD Burner drop down menu make sure that the burner you are trying to use is selected. Then click OK.
Hope this helps

Can't burn MP3 cd

After upgrading from iTunes 5.0 to iTunes 5.0.1 when i would burn a mp3 cd it would now read on any mp3 cd players, i tried burning it on two different computers with iTunes to rule out my burner. When burning the same playlist with Nero 6.6.0.8a the cd was recognised easily by evey mp3 cd player that i insered it into. I tried to burn an mp3 cd with iTunes 5.0 when i first came out so i'm guessing that whatever change that was made from the previous version caused the conflict.

hi Desmond!
this is a complete shot in the dark (and i'm not sure it's worth risking wasting another CD-R to test it) ... but did the title of the playlist that caused problems contain a "&" or an apostrophe, or another "non-alphanumeric" character?
I'm wondering, because one other problem with burning mp3 CDs in 5.0.x seems to be associated with that:

I reinstalled I-Tunes several weeks ago. Since then I can no longer burn MP3 Discs with Title and Artist Info. Sometimes it only burns every 3rd song. No Audio CD it seems to function OK. The version has the "cloud" but I don't know if that matters or

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?
Jim

This 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

ITunes 11 - How do I burn mp3 CDs WITH folders??

I know how to burn mp3 cds on iTunes 11, but all the mp3s are thrown into a root folder. I would like to be able to separate albums into different folders. I'm sure this is pretty simple, yet I cannot figure it out. This is for iTunes 11! Thanks.

If you sort the playlist by Album, they will be burned into Album folders on the CD.
If you sort by Artist, they will be out into Artist then Album folders.
See this -> iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD
(it should be the same with iTunes 11 but I haven't tried it yet)
