Trying to Burn MP3 CD - Why Does it Require So Many CDs?

I imported a bunch of my daughter's CDs as MP3 files. When I was done, I created a playlist in iTunes and moved all the MP3 files into it. iTunes tells me that I have 304 songs in the playlist, taking up 696.8 Mb. I then tried to burn the entire playlist to CD, but in the course of the burn iTunes told me that the burn would span CDs. After inserting my 4th CD, I stopped the process.
I might be able to understand why this would take 2 CDs (even though I used a 700Mb CD), but why did it require so many more? More importantly, how do I set up iTunes so I can import around 600 Mb of MP3 songs onto only one CD? This would seem to me to be a pretty common process, but iTunes is giving me fits!
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
Scott

I have read many threads about similar situations and the only thing I can suggest is buy "music pro cd-r's". My friend and I had the same problem and that solved it, hope it does for you too.

Ok, I solved it.
I followed this steps:
1- Turn Off Wi-Fi from the Wireless menu item
2- From the OS X Finder, hit Command+Shift+G and enter the following path:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
3- Within this folder locate and select the following files:
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
 com.apple.network.identification.plist
com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist 
NetworkInterfaces.plist 
preferences.plist
4- Move all of these files into a folder on your Desktop called ‘wifi backups’ or something similar – we’re backing these up just in case you break something but if you regularly backup your Mac you can just delete the files instead since you could restore from Time Machine if needed.
5- Reboot the Mac
6- Turn ON WI-Fi from the wireless network menu again

Why does Apple require ISBNs when Amazon and B&N don't?

I'm sure this has been discussed, perhaps someone could point me to an answer.
Why does Apple require an ISBN when Amazon and B&N's digital stores don't. In many ways this eliminated many individuals or small presses from selling their books on iTunes. Does Apple specifically not want those not alligned with pre-digital publishing to be able to sell books on iTunes? Perhaps there is something I'm missing here.

Fabini, by the fact that I've uploaded and sold dozens of eBooks on Amazon and B&N without ISBN numbers. They both don't require them for eBooks.
As per Amazon: “An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is not required to publish content with Kindle Direct Publishing. Once your content is published on the KDP web site, Amazon.com will assign it a 10-digit ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number), which is unique to the eBook, and is an identification number for the Kindle Book on Amazon.com. If you already have an ISBN for your eBook, you’ll be able to enter it during the publishing process. Do *not* use an ISBN for the print book edition.”
As per barnesandnoble.com's PubIt!: “You do NOT need an ISBN to sell your eBook through PubIt!. If you don’t have an ISBN, just tell us that you don’t have one by answering No when prompted. In that case, Barnes & Noble will assign an internal 13-digit identifier to your title for you when you submit the title to go on sale.”
Apple is the only of the "big three" eBook distributers that requires an ISBN and that is a bad call and reduces that "democratic" power of eBook publishing. I hope they change the policy soon. Anyone know who the best person to email about this issue would be?

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!

What is X11 and Why does GIMP require it

Hello all,
I use GIMP at work on a Windows workstation, and love it. I have just downloaded the mac version but on boot up it prompts me to locate the 'X11'.
What is X11?
where is it located?
and
Why does GIMP need it so badly?
Thanking you all in advance

If I recall X11 is an optional install on your installer dvd's. I don't remember if it's a option on the main install or an addition on the second dvd.
When it gets installed the X11 app will be in your /Applications/Utilities folder. There is also additional stuff the app needs in other directories on your boot drive as well.
As for what X11 is, here's a wiki reference. Basically the mac version of gimp needs x11 as it's windowing layer (probably the easiest way to port gimp to the mac).

What is the privacy policy of Home Sharing? Why does it require an AppleID?

Do devices using Home Sharing upload any usage information--or for that matter, any data at all--about the files being shared, or the libraries to which they have access? Why is an AppleID required, rather than, for instance, any made-up shared key, the way the Windows Homegroup works?

Please see my post above.
As far as I can fathom...Apple TV needs permanent Internet connection else it stops. Whilst it may not actively use the connection 100% of time whilst playing (although I do not know this for sure) as soon az the internet goes down so does the Home Sharing and as Apple TV is reliant on Home Sharing and willonly share content via Home Sharing then Apple TV needs permanent Internet.
Also cannot even turn on Apple TV unless it is connected to the network and this does not mean Wifi only it means Wifi with internet sharing turned on.
No one has been able to tell me how they run Apple TV without permanent internet connection.
No one has been able to tell me how they start Apple TV without internet connection.
No one has been able to tell me how, once Apple TV up and running and internet drops out, how they maintain the Apple TV connection.
Again I ask why does Apple TV need a Permanent Internet Connection?

Why does Firefox require fine (GPS) location information?

Why does a browser require fine location information? This might raise privacy concerns.

Why does itunes require me to agree to the terms every time I open it

Since the last update, every time I open iTunes on my computer, I have to agree to the terms, and then also decide whether or not to share my album info. How do I get this to stop?

Update: I'm having the same problem using McAfee Security. I found another discussion related to this problem, and it appears that McAfee Security program may be the root cause of the problem. See the discussion "Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml."

Why does Mail require "Re:" subject prefix to group conversations properly?

When the Apple Mail program (using Mavericks 10.9.1) is configured to "View:Organize by Conversation", it is necessary for the email subject line to be prefixed with "Re:" in order for the email from different senders to be grouped into the same conversation, even if the emails contain proper "In-Reply-To" header fields. Why does the program require this subject line prefix, versus just using the In-Reply-To field values to group conversations? Many automated systems that generate emails (e.g., web-based helpdesk systems) will send email with the proper In-Reply-To field values to associate emails for the same topic/case, but they do not use the "Re:" subject line prefix. This seems to be a defect with the design of the Mail program to require this prefix for the conversation grouping to work properly.
Does anyone know if there is legitimate rationale for this behavior? Does anyone know if there is a work-around for this problem (short of changing these other systems to prefix the subject line)?
Thanks, Steve

Why does Dreamweaver load so many fonts at startup?

On my Mac Pro I'm using Dreamweaver CS4, and FontAgent Pro for font management. When I try to close fonts I don't need or use, they seem to get re-opened whenever I open Dreamweaver; and they're fonts that aren't "web" fonts, like Big Caslon, Cochin, and Stone Sans Semi Italic. How can I tell DW that I don't want these fonts open? Does DW need them for itself?

I guess I should have been more specific. I have many, many fonts — Open Type, Postscript, as well as True Type — all managed by FontAgent Pro. By "close", I mean deactivate in FontAgent Pro. FontAgent Pro does physically re-organize and move the System fonts out of the various Fonts folders to manage them (except for System/Library/Fonts ... it doesn't touch that folder.) And the fonts that Dreamweaver requests at startup (that are deactivated, only to be activated via FontAgent Pro's auto-activation) aren't standard system fonts, nor standard web fonts. So my question is, why does Dreamweaver need those fonts?

Why does Firefox create so many temp files in cache? Once it filled up entire free HD space (46GB)?

Every now & then, Firefox will have created zillions of directories and files in Cache within the directory for a Firefox profile. The directories are called 0 (zero) through F (using the hex numbers as names, i.e.g), and within each of these will be more directories (with two digit hex names). The last time this happened (1 week ago), these directories ate up ALL of my free hard drive space (about 46 GB worth).
Why does this happen? Can I stop it from happening? If so, how?
THanks.

Yes it should be easy to reset.
It may be set from
* '''Options -> | Advanced | -> |Network| -> Cached Web Content''' <br /> [] Override automatic cache management
* see [[#w_cached-web-content]]'''_cached-web-content'''
Presumably your automatic setting has been overridden and the box needs unchecking.
I know Firefox does split the cache up like that IIRC it allows the cache to be faster and solves fragmentation issues.
46GB That seems a surprising amount and can not be right if it eats up all hard disk space. I also know that the file places.sqlite is a variable size, but that is based on the system in use.
The ordinary HTTP cache is also set presumably intelligently, but can be over-ridden by the user
This has some background info
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP_Caching_FAQ

browser.cache.disk.smart_size_cached_value 266240
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run false
My cache use is limited to about 350MB
