Unable to burn MP3 cd

When I try to create an MP3 cd, I get a message saying that the songs are not in the correct format. I have removed/re-imported songs with the MP3 encoder setting in the Import options, and keep getting the same message. I have even tried the Advanced option of converting, redoing the playlist, to no avail. How frustrating! Anyone have an idea??

The songs you're trying to burn are already in mp3 format, correct?

There are several different incompatible media sold as writeable CDs. You MUST match the media to the abilities of your drive.
I was flummoxed by buying 8x media when my drive was a 2x drive. I needed the other type, and there was nothing helpful in the diagnostics or the packaging that helped me understand that.
EDIT: There is an interesting helpful feature buried in System Profiler ... (read the last two lines of the report):

iTunes can only burn an MP3 CD from songs that are already in MP3 format.
If you have songs in other formats, you can use iTunes to convert them to MP3 by this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Note that the conversion process creates a new MP3 and leaves the original in place. When you are ready to burn your MP3 CD, make sure you are using the newly created MP3s, not the original tracks.

I don't own an Apple device, but I have purchased an audio album from the iTunes store. How can I play this on my android phone, as I am unable to burn the album to mp3 format? Can I obtain a refund if this is not possible? Thanks

p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

Micky,
The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format. Most Android phones can play AACs. Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
(This conversion does not require burning.)
For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices. You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

Unable to burn AUDIO to DVD or Disk image, video is fine

As many other posts have stated; I am unable to burn the Audio portion of an iDVD nor does "save as disk image" transfer the audio of my iDVD. Transferred an iMovie, (an iPhoto set of photos with iTunes audio imported into iMovie) to iDVD. Audio plays on iMovie, audio plays on iDVD preview. Tried removing recommended ~com.apple.iXXX.plist, no help. Tried different encoding methods: i.e. Best/High/Professional. Tried saving to different sizes HD/Large/etc. Tried Share Media in iTunes, Media Browser, etc. Checked Main Audio, volume slider bar in iDVD. Tried importing audio into iDVD rather than transferring from iMovie. It doesn't seem to matter how I build the iDVD it works, until I go to Save As Disk Image or Burn DVD. Video works great (better in Large than HD) Audio doesn't transfer.
21 total minutes, 1.15GB of final iDVD using a default theme.

Hi
(an iPhoto set of photos with iTunes audio imported into iMovie) to iDVD
Yes this is the problem - in iTunes there is a copy-protection that moves over
Result
• Plays well in iMovie
• Plays well in iDVD preview
• Silent on DVD
Only way around this is to in iTunes collect needed audio into a play-list
Burn this out as an Audio-CD and .aiff (NOT .mp3)
Use the audio on this CD in Your iMovie project.

Unable to burn CDs on MacBook Pro

HI,
I just bought a new Macbook Pro and I am unable to burn CDs. When I try to burn an Audio CD it starts burning and suddenly aborts saying that there is a medium write error. I also tried burning in Toast Titatinium and had the same problem. I then tried to burn an mp3 data cd directly using the finder and draging files to the CD folder. It also had a problem saying that the device was unable to calibrate the burning power. I have been using Sony CD-R that look pretty good quality and my burner (as my computer) is brand new.
I don't know what to do. I'm a DJ and I bought this computer thinking that it would easily allow me to work with music and that I could easily import and burn, and that certainly has not been the case. I had to ask a friend to burn some urgent music and my CDs and files burned fine in his PC. I just switched to Mac myself but my experience hasn't been too good this far.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I would take it up with Apple since the computer is under warranty. It sounds highly possible that you have a bad optical drive. Please don't mistake this as a "diagnosis" from another user, but just a recommendation of what to do based on the circumstances you've described in your post.
Good luck.

I am trying to burn a playlist and it I keep getting error 4850. I am running Windows xp. I am unable to burn disc since I updated my computer with itunes.

Every since I updated my itunes, I get error 4850 for burning a disc. How do I fix this error. I am unable to burn a disc. Please help!!!

The HDD should accept AAC or MP3.
Burn a data disc instead of an audioCD. You can get about 120 songs on a regular CD.

Likely the CD JukeBox will not accept CD-R discs.
Have you used burned CDs on it previously?

7.6.2-burned mp3 CDs won't play in players that 7.5-burned versions did

I have discovered yet another beef with iTunes 7.6.2... does anyone else have this problem?
mp3 CDs burned in iTunes 7.6.2 on my Intel iMac will not play in my car player, while identical mp3 CDs burned in itunes 7.5x on my iBook G4 WILL play in my car player (too bad my main library is on the iMac). The 7.6.2-burned CD's will play in my son's new car player, but not mine, which is a couple years older.
What the heck??? Is there some hidden change that now mp3 CDs burned in the newest iTunes will only play in some kinds of players, whether or not the players are all marked as mp3 compatible?
What does anyone know about this issue?
Because i have to decide whether to buy a new car stereo, or deinstall 7.6.2 and go back to some earlier version (i really don't like to navigate iPod menus while driving, i prefer CDs, so using an iPod instead isn't a good solution for me). or is it the intel iMac that is causing the problem? It doesn't matter what burner or user account i use- i tried an external burner, and i tried another user account. The burned files are identical, they aren't an issue.
I am in OS 10.4.11 on the iMac and 10.4.7 on the iBook, if that makes any difference (frankly, i'm afraid to upgrade the iBook to newest versions at this point).

Just on a hunch.
Pop one of your 7.6.2 burned MP3 disks in a computer and check if the music is nested in folder by the Artist and Album. Then do the same with one of your older burned disks.
Some older units will not accept MP3 disks with the media grouped in folders. I found this to be the case on a couple of MP3 capable machines that are just a few years old.
My current version of iTunes (7.7 needed for the iPhone v2) seems to only burn MP3 files nested in folders. I found a machine that had not been updated and was still running iTunes 7.0.2 and burned an MP3 disc with all the files numbered and in the root of the disc.
Also, make some older MP3 units do not like the variable bit rate and may also be choosy about the bit rate is. ie 128 vs 160 vs 320

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the quick response I went to the device manager and did what you asked and no change in performance,but in the drop-down of the DVD/CD Rom Drive the next file? of HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T2ON ATA DEVICE on the icon there is a pyramid with the yellow exclamation point inside??. I've tried to update the drivers but Microsoft says that they are up to date. It seems that my Windows Media Player does not know or recognize that I have an internal CD burner because on the side box where you are to drag songs to burn, the message of "Connect a burner and restart the player". As you can tell I am not very computer literate so any help will be greatly appreciated. How can I tell if the CD/DVD player is just broken?? Thanks so much.

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?

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

Unable to burn a playlist to CD: Error 4310!

I have Windows 8.1 running on a new Dell Inspiron 14R. After purchasing the computer, I downloaded and installed iTunes version 11.3.1.2. I was able to import my music and playlists into iTunes successfully. However, I am unable to burn playlists to CDs through iTunes. I repeatedly get the "unknown error 4310" as soon after I press "Burn Playlist to CD." iTunes recognizes that the CD is blank when I insert it, but then cancels the burn immediately after it starts.
I have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions above, especially including:
Verifying that the CD burner works -- I successfully burned an Audio CD using Windows Media Player. So, the burner works just fine!
Changing the burn speed to a lower speed
Uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it.
Updating the drivers on my computer
This is very frustrating! Please help!

Hello essexboyo,

I am unable to burn CDs with songs recently purchased from itunes. No problem before. When I try to burn a playlist with new songs, I get the error message that "songs will not it on 1 audio CD". If I remove all songs except the new one, it will burn.

I am unable to burn CD's with the last 4 songs I've purchased from the iTunes store. I can burn CD's from playlist using previously purchased songs with no problem. With a normal length playlist including 1 of the newly purchased songs, I get the message "songs will not fit on one CD". I can remove all but the new song and 1 other and the CD will burn. I have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes and still have the problem.

I have that EXACT same problem! I have no idea what to do though, but it is very mucho frustrating. Let me know if you find out anything, and I will do the same.

I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Hello all,
I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running 10.4.8. When I go to burn a DVD I get one of two codes 0X8002006D, 0X80020022, why is that a 3,000 CPU cant burn a DVD. My Mac is total up to date with all software and firmware. I saw in the Discussions that I'm not the first person to have this issue but I don't see an answer from Apple, I'm pretty sure it not the DVDs (Memorex DVD-R 16X) because my ****** pc can burn them and it was a 100 pack that I used about 50 from it that I burn on both Macs and the ****** PC. I also have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2.5 GB DDR SDRAM running 10.4.8 which is also unable to burn them and it also comes up with the same errors. I have not had this issue until I updated my Macs to 10.4.8, PLEASE HELP.
Thanks,
Coons

Yes I can play CDs and DVDs but I was not able to burn a 4.01GB folder, I have since decreased the folder size to 3.75 and was able to burn the DVD. I'm creating another just to double check, my G5 was unable to complete the task and I also gave a shot at a 2.77GB folder and it failed I also gave a 200Mb file a chance but it still did not burn. I was able to burn the same 200MB file on a CD, PLEASE I NEED HELP.
