Unable to burn purchased music

Hi there.
Just downloaded the latest version of itunes today.
However....
Am getting a message when trying to burn purchased songs to a disc saying "None of the files can be burned to an mp3 disc".
I never had this problem before when had the older verison of itunes.
Is it because they are protected aac tracks, and if so is there anyway around this?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Hi "shawn1982",
You can't burn AAC tracks to an MP3 CD - you need to change your burn settings to Data CD/DVD in order to do this.
Hope this helps,
-Travis

    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.

  • Can Burn Ripped Music, Can't Burn Purchased Music

    Help!!
    Ever since installing 7.0.2 I can no longer burn purchased music to CD. Music I ripped from my own CDs burns just fine.
    Data from desktop burns fine as well as music from other programs such as sonic and Windows Media Player. Actually iTunes worked fine until I upgraded to 7.0.2 from 6
    I'm thinking ther must be some kind of problem with the protected MPEG4 that apple is using that is messing up CD burning
    I have downloaded latest firmware, updated drivers, re installed IDE/ATA, Reinstalled iTunes, Re installed CD burner, tried every burn speed from fastest down to 1x, Turned off spam & spyware, turned off firewall, turned off virus prtection made, Made sure IMAP CD settings are set to automatic and started.
    Nothing works. I'm at my wits end and getting very frustrated because I have hundreds of dollars of purchased music that is now stuck on my computer and won't burn.

    I don't understand, we buy this music for a buck a piece, and then when you want to make an mp3 cd to play in your car, like i have( i can make one cd with 150 songs)or what ever , we can't even do that. I also have an ipod but i don't bring it into my car all the time. I thought that because we are buying the music and technically we own them, that we can use the music which ever way that you want. And now we have to buy a converter if we want to make mp3 cd's. I have resorted to spending my money on cd's to make cd's of my protected files, just to rip them back on my computer again as an mp3 song, remove the protected songs, and all this to do what i thought we could do with our purchases music because, oh i don't know, call me crazy, we were able to before!!! All i now see is that we have to spend money to get our music to spend money to change our music to use it the way we want to, to spend our money to make our own cd's. The operative words, spending our money. Does anyone find this absolutely rediculous? Anyone ever hear the phrase "Don't fix it if it ain't broke"? Anyone else frustrated?

  • Burning Purchased Music - Help!

    Anyone who has time to help, I would greatly appreciate it!
    Issue:
    Any attempt to burn purchased music to CD results in a disc that will not play in any of 4 CD players I own (home stereo, car, portable, etc.)
    Facts:
    --Audio CD is checked in Preferences
    --Using Sony media
    --Have tried Burning/Ripping back to iTunes/Burning technique
    --Have tried Burning ripped tracks through Toast
    --Have not exceeded 7 burn limit
    20" iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I am using CD-R. I tried a different brand of media...same result. The cd players seem to recognize the disc and display the right amount of tracks and time, but there is no audio...
    Any other ideas?

  • Burning purchased music loses playlist

    when I burn purchased music from itunes, the file info, artist, song name etc is all lost, just track numbers on the new disc...i do not have this problem burning songs I have ripped from cds i own, so settings must be right.
    any ideas?
    second thing...
    I can not convert itunes purchased files to any other format, and the default format being burned my home and car cd player does not recognize...any ideas on that one?
    thank you.

    rolexman111,
    Second thing first:
    The iTMS sells copy-protected .m4p files that can only be listened to on an authorized computer.
    Furthermore, the files cannot be converted to other formats.
    As the previous link suggests, though, what you can do is burn an Audio CD of the purchased music and listen to that CD or use it in any way you would a "normal" CD.
    EDIT:
    Ooops, I forgot about the first thing ...
    What's unusual is that you say you were able to view the song information previously because iTunes does not put that information into burned Audio CD's.
    Have a look at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607302&#607302
    Is it possible you were burning data CD's previously?

  • Burning Purchased Music

    I am having trouble burning my purchased songs to CD's. I have added them to an existing playlist and it starts to burn ok then stops and says unable to burn to CD as copy protected.
    What can I do?

    I would drag the folder on top of the Library in iTunes. That way iTunes will import the tunes and take care of file management and housekeeping. Check to make sure "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder" is checked in the General tab of the Advanced section of iTunes' Preferences. iTunes will copy the songs from the folder on the shared drive, so after you know everything is imported ok, the folder on the shared drive is no longer needed unless you want to keep it as a backup.
    If "Play songs while importing" is checked in the Importing section of Advanced Preferences, then as soon as one song is imported it will automatically try to start playback. You should then have to authorize that song. If it is not checked, then after everything is imported you can double-click on a song to start it playing and then authorize the computer.
    Also, if the computers are on a network, you probably don't have to transfer any songs. Open Preferences on both machines and under the Sharing tab check off "Look for shared music" and "Share my music". Under "Share my music" you can choose all or you can select certain playlists. A computer on a network told to look for music will see what has been selected to be shared on another computer on the network.

  • Unable to use purchased music in other iLife programs

    I am trying to use an iTunes purchased song in an iPhoto slideshow. When I do I get an error message saying that this computer is not authorised to play this music. The computer in fact is authorised and iTunes plays the music fine. I have repeatedly tried re-authorising to no avail. I have encountered the same problem in iDVD. Am I not able to use a purchased song in other iLife programs? Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Burn the purchased music out to an AUDIO cd, then reimport in any format you like. The reimported version should work fine with your other iLife projects. This is a common problem when trying to use purchased iTMS tunes in iMovie and iDVD.

  • New laptop unable to play purchased music

    I have recently upgraded my laptop to a macbook and have transferred all my files etc across.
    When I came to sync my ipod it said it was unable to sync my purchased music as this computer is not authorised to play it. How to I change my settings to allow my previously purchased music on my new laptop?

    Have you authorised the new MacBook yet and do the songs play in iTunes? If you have got it authorised and it's not transferring songs then try deauthorising it and then authorise it over again: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Unable to play purchased music after successfully authorize computer

    Cannot play purchased music:
    Prompted for id and password (Authorize Computer).
    Next prompt notifies me that the "Machine Authorization was Successful".
    Does nothing.
    Double click on song again - repeat Authorize Computer.

    Also having exactly the same problem.
    I've followed the same steps with the same results.
    Even check for the number of authorized computer : only one.
    Tried to remove authorization and give it again : no change.
    Still unable to listen to the tracks bought on the iTunes Store. It was possible the day I bought them and they have been transferred to the iPod through iTunes.
    I have listened to those tracks on my iPod for a few days.
    But when reconnecting today (first time since the date of purchase), I cannot listen to those purchased tracks anymore and they seem to have been removed from my iPod by iTunes !!!
    This was my first purchase on iTunes Store and it's a very bad experience. Unable to listen to music I've bought !
    Could someone give us all an issue, please ?!

  • Unable to burn purchased tracks to CDs - MP4 format

    Has anyone solved this one? I have my preferences set to audio CD? I'm wondering if its because I am using CD RWs should I just try CD Rs?
    If I cant burn the purchased music to CDs theres no point in buying from iTunes.

    How are you trying to burn the tracks? Do you know that you need to create a playlist and burn it to CD rather than burn the tracks directly to CD?
    Your purchased music is covered by DRM, so this restricts the number of times you can create a CD with your purchased tracks. You can only burn the same playlist to CD up to seven times. If you've already burned your purchased album then you'd be better making a copy of the CD you've already created.

  • Unable to check purchased music

    We lost a lot of music when hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. When I go into the Advanced Menu and Check for Purchases I get an error message that says "Unable to check for purchase. An unknown error has occurred (-1)." I have reset my password and that made no difference. iTunes support said to check Firewall (it's okay) and web acceleration (what is this) and to contact our ISP (Comcast). Any other ideas? Please advise about next steps to recover my lost music.
    Suz

    If you had no backups of your purchased music, you
    may be out of luck as store policy states the
    downloads are a one time deal & it's the user's
    responsibility to backup important files. The store
    even sends you a reminder to backup after every 10-15
    downloads.
    ITunes said they would allow us another download and told us to use "Check Downloads." It just isn't working.

  • Unable to play purchased music on my iPod through my PC at work

    I purchased music using my PC at home. While at work, I prefer to connect my iPod to my PC and play through the PC. However, I just noticed that my PC wants me to purchase or reauthorize the music I have already purchased at home to play on my iPod through my PC. I don't want to do this as I will use up one of my transfers. I think this might be a bug. Any ideas?

    But they're still playing "through" iTunes... and iTunes needs to be able to read the protected tracks. It won't be able to do that unless it's authorized to do so.
    Why not just authorize it? It's not that big a deal...
