Trying To Fit All Songs Onto 1 CD

Hi. I'm attempting to burn 25 songs onto a single cd using iTunes 7.5 on an iMac.(I really don't want to split them onto 2 CD's).I was unable to fit all 25 onto an "audio cd"(.aif files)......so I tried burning them onto an MP3 cd.However........I find that this MP3 cd will not play on either of my CD players.I assume the problem is that my CD players which are both over 5 yrs. old cannot read the MP3 format.Therefore.....I'm wondering if there is another way to fit all these songs onto 1 CD? Is there another audio file option other than .aif or mp3 formats that could fit all on one and that most CD players can read........or is there any company that makes CD's longer than 80 min.? I'm sure I'm not the 1st person who has run into this problem......so hoping theres some workable solution.Thanks.

Some burning programs let you do what is called "overburning," e.g. Nero has an option to put 82 (rather than 80) minutes of audio onto a standard CD. You can also buy CD-R blanks that are 800 MB insead of the usual 700 MB, although iTunes will not make use of the extra.
However, when you do those kind of "tricks," it becomes very likely you will hit incompatibilities with players.
You would be much better off splitting your compilation across 2 CDs, or - now here's a thought - knocking off a few songs.

Trying to load ipod songs onto pcs itunes

hi all,
im trying to put the songs from my ipod onto my computer at work...a pc is this even possible? the computer has itunes on it, i log into my itunes account, and it recognizes my ipod (shows up under the device thing). i can see all my songs including ones ive purchased from itunes, but they are all a light gray color and i cannot select and play or anything. not even the ones bought from itunes!...all while logged in and "authorizing" the computer. can someone help? the farthest i get is itunes warning me that all songs on my ipod will be replaced with whats in the computers itunes library which is nothing.
looking forward to hearing from you guys

*i can see all my songs including ones ive purchased from itunes, but they are all a light gray color and i cannot select and play or anything. not even the ones bought from itunes!.*
Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos". The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes (If you have an iPod Touch your songs will always be greyed out, even in manual mode):
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something to remember about using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
*im trying to put the songs from my ipod onto my computer at work...a pc is this even possible?*
The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

Ipod tries to sync all songs instead of checked ones...

So I'm having a slightly similar problem to others that have written before in that my computer doesn't seem to recognize the ipod. When I plug it in a message is displayed claiming that "there is no disc in drive e"; but this doesn't seem to interfere since songs will still go on the ipod and it will still charge. The main problem I'm having is that Itunes keeps telling me that I have too many songs for the available space, when I know that isn't true since the last time I plugged it into the computer it accepted all the songs. I will un-check songs to try to create more space, but the same message is displayed. It won't allow me to pick the option of only syncing the checked songs and therefore it keeps trying to put un-checked songs onto the ipod.

If it has a click wheel and a 20GB drive, it's a 4th gen.
It is possible that the iPod's hard drive is going bad. Two things you can try...
First, use Windows to reformat the iPod's hard drive. You can do so in a My Computer or Windows Explorer window. Don't use any quick format options; use a full format. It is possible that this procedure will error out or otherwise not complete (for the same reason there is a problem with syncing). But if it does complete, run iTunes and immediately use the Restore button to install and initialize the iPod's software. Then try syncing again.
If you still have problems, or formatting does not complete successfully, the other thing you can try is to open the iPod, disconnect the battery, and check the connections between the hard drive and the logic board. There are two connection points. Disconnect them and inspect them for any corrosion. Reconnect them and then the battery, making sure there is no looseness. Before closing the iPod, try doing a Restore again, followed by syncing.
Here is a helpful guide.

Download all songs onto macbook from iTunes match cloud.

I just bought a macbook pro, i would like to download all my music from itunes match onto my macbook but don't want to manually select the cloud for each song. Is there an easier way to download them all?

This is not the best or most efficent way to get your music onto your new Mac. The best way is to copy all your personal content from an origional computer or backup archive. These Apple KB articles can help you:

If you insist on downloading from the cloud simply highlight all the tracks you want, right-click, and choose "download."

How do I get ALL songs onto my child's computer account?

I'm sure most of you all are familiar with having multiple accounts on Windows 8.1
I am the Administrator account.. there are standard accounts and children accounts.
I have made my son a child account so I can monitor his activity and so he does not have administrator privelages
Itunes was already on the child account (because it's already downloaded on my Admin account) and I logged into my Itunes account, but there are no songs available for him. I have multiple CDs downloaded from the past which are on my administrator's Itunes account but not showing up on my child's Itunes (keep in mind this is on the same computer.) The only songs that show up are purchased songs from Itunes that I have made on my account.
How do I allow my child to have the same songs as me?
Thanks,
I've spent hours figuring this out and cannot find out how. Copied and pasted songs to Itunes folder on child's account.. on public account.. etc

if you had non-purchased music on your ipod nano and synced with a new computer it does an erase and sync as it can only be synced to one library at a time - if you have not yet done the erase and sync then you can google some kind of ipod extractor software to see if you can get the non-purchased music off the device - back to the computer - and back into itunes - good luck

Getting all songs onto one album

Hi
I am having a real problem with itunes splitting one album into a separate album for each track.
It does this quite often but not all albums?
Any help would be appreciated

Select all the songs on the CD and Get Info.
Say yes to the message that you want to change info on multiple items.
Fill in Album Artist = Various Artist (or Camelot Artists, whatever you choose)
Go to the Options tab and check Part of a Compilation = No

Itunes will not load all songs onto my IPOD or start Itunes when connected

I have a new 80GB Ipod. Two problems I have noticed.
1. Itunes has 1609 songs. My IPOD only shows 1603. I have made sure all the boxes on the left colume of Itunes are all checked. Am I doing something wrong.
2. Just this past week when I connect my IPOD to my computer (PC -windows XP) it does not start Itunes. I do have that option checked. It connects fine when I open Itunes on the computer after the IPOD is connected or if I already have Itunes open then connect the IPOD.

Just try this on that one song first....the first one it stopped on.
Take it out of the itunes library list. If it asks about putting it in the recycle bin, say NO.
Then add it back into the itunes library. Will it sync now?

I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes. I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card. What should I do?

Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card? What exact error messages are you seeing?

I'm new to imovie and I am trying to add a song onto my imovie but when i do..

it doesnt show the whole song. it only shows a small clip of the song. is there anyway i can just put the whole song in imovie and then add video clips afterwards?

You can add the song first if you are using the Beat Marker feature.

After rebooting, iTunes tries to sync all apps onto iphone

After rebooting my MBA (late 2010), the first sync of my iphone 4 shows ALL of my apps placed on my iphone up to its capacity.
This has happened twice in the past week. The first time, I had to keep syncing the iphone and deleting the unwanted apps, working my way through whatever iTunes automatically loaded without my intervention. After I deleted all of the unwanted apps in my iphone, subsequent syncs were fine. Then, this morning, after a reboot, they all showed up again in the apps list ready to be synced to my iphone. I'd rather not have to go through the very time consuming effort of having to sync-delete-sync-delete... again.
PLEASE HELP!

Bump. Nobody knows?

Trying to move songs onto the ipod linked to another computer to a mac

The classic Ipod I have was linked to a PC that crashed. I now have a mac and I am trying to put the songs onto that itunes library. I am able to update my ipod and add songs to it, but I can't put a backup of songs into the itunes library. Any suggestions? Thank you for any input!

now my ipod does work on my other comptuter without any problems.
5. Version of iTunes before you upgraded to 6.0.2
VERSION 5.014 --
6. Version of Fairplay on the songs you've purchased. (If you look at the general tab in the Get Info dialog, it tells you version of Fairplay.)
2
7. Automatic vs. manual sync. For songs / podcasts / video, which in 6.0.2 all have separate manual vs. automatic settings.
i only use this for music, so i have no way of knowing how these are set up.
8. Is there some sort of weird mis-identification of the iPod in previous versions of iTunes, like the Video sub-tab missing in the iPod preferences tab of iTunes preferences for Video iPods?
i have no idea what you are talking about.
9. Version of the iPodService you have running? (Go to C:\Program Files\iPod\bin, find the iPodService.exe file, right click, select Properties and you should be able to get a version number.)
6.0.2.23
10. Number of store accounts you have authorized on that machine?
1
11. Is the iPod Updater running in the background when you try to mount the iPod and iTunes crashes?
no
12. Has either of you tried connected one of these iPods to a Mac to see if it crashes on iTunes for Mac? Or does that heal the problem and then you can subsequently plug it into their Windows machine without problem. (This would tell me if it's a Windows only bug or if it's in both versions of iTunes.) The Genuis bar at an Apple retail store could help with this step. But I realize that this is the step with the highest level of inconvenience.
dont have a mac to connect to but it does connect just fine to my old computer which is using itunes 5 and ipod 5.0.1.4

How do I get greyed out songs onto my Iphone?

For a few days now I have been trying to get new songs onto my Iphone 4s, but they wont sync.

I have tried to fix the problem by looking online for similar problems but nothing worked. I am very annoyed and hope someone knows what do.

To fit maximum songs on 1gb nano

I am trying to fit more songs into my Nano 1 gb and I was told to convert selection to AAC.
My question is:
If I convert all songs in my library to AAC, what is the effect of that on all my song?
Also if I just convert the songs that is to be updated with my Ipod, will the conversion automatically happend to the same songs in my Library?
I really need to know if is better to just convert all my songs without loosing any qulaity or is there a better way to add more songs to my Ipod.
Many thanks in advance.

See if this helps...
King Cole: My song files are too BIG for my small iPod!
Also, the sound quality may be effected, but it may not be that much. Try it out with a song or two and see if you can tell the difference (iTunes will not edit the original song file).
