Why is iTunes showing me the "Data DVD" option when I clearly want to make an mp3 CD

Good day, I've been able to make mp3 cds without any hassle in the past with my iTunes, but after a recent update it makes Data dvds even when I clearly choose the "mp3 cd" option. All the songs are MPEG Audio files. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What are you on about?
When the OP states he has MP3 files and wants to make an MP3 CD, I'm taking a "wild guess" that is what he wants to do.
He has done so in the past. Whatever he has done previously is not working the same way. He needs to clarify what is or is not happening.
MPEG-1 (/2), layer 3 = MP3. MPEG is not synonymous with MP3
But MPEG audio file, as noted by the OP is synonymous with MP3 when looking at Kind in iTunes.
An MPEG-4 file attempted to be encoded to mp3
He is not attempting to encode to MP3. He wants to burn an MP3 CD. Selecting to burn an MP3 disc does not re-encode any files.
It simply burns only the MP3 files in a playlist to a standard data disc.
If you select Audio CD, the files do get reencoded to LPCM (the standard which an audio CD uses).
would produce the  problems he is referring to.
He is attempting to burn an MP3 CD. If you select to burn MP3 CD and there are no MP3 files in the playlist, iTunes will simply tell you there are no MP3 files in the playlist. You won't get any errors.

  • Why don't I get the wifi sync option when I plug my iphone 4? (itunes 10.5 and iOS5 up to date)

    I have my iphone conected to my IMac and itunes software and Iphone software up to date (10.5 and iOs5) but I don´t get the wifi Sync option on my Iphone summary. Any ideas?

    It's not listed as an option. If you are seeing your iPhone in iTunes then thats it. You just click sync. (It works exactly the same way as if it was plugged in)

  • Why don't I see the "custom scale" option when I print?

    When printing PDF files using Adobe Reader 10.1.6 I do not have the custom scale option. Is this not available in this version?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. Unless limited by the device's hardware, it will be updated to iOS 6.1.3.

  • Why can't I get the "save as" option when I download a file, it automatically saves EVERYTHING to download folder.

    When I download a file, I used to get an option to "save as", instead of just save. If I download a file I like to immediately download it into the appropriate folder on my desktop (not just one folder.) Instead I have to download it, go into the downloads folder and move it. I do a lot of downloading for work and this is just an extra step that I find so annoying. Is there a way to change this, or and "add on" feature to get "save as" as an option? I get this option on Internet Explorer, but I do not like using IE :(

    P.S. Not sure if this is important, but I am using Windows 8 :(

  • I bought the iPhone4 in the apple store. Why iTunes shows that the SIM card isn't inserted when I connect to the compter? But I have inserted the SIM card.

    I bought the iPhone4 in the apple store. Why iTunes shows that the SIM card isn't inserted when I connect to the compter? But I have inserted the SIM card.
    Even if I inserted another SIM card which can work nomally in other‘s iPhone, it still doesn't work in my iPhone. So I think the problem isn't because of the SIM card.bwow

    Where did you buy it?  And was it connected to a carrier?

  • ITunes cannot read the data on my iPod touch

    Just three weeks or so ago, I was able to use iTunes without any problems to put a few songs on my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. Recently, however, whenever I try to connect my iPod to iTunes via USB, I get an error message that says something along the lines of: "iTunes cannot read the data on xxx's iPod Touch. Go to the Summary tab and choose Restore to restore this iPod to it's original factory settings.". I don't know why it says this since my iPod is functioning normally. My iPod shows up on the left hand side of the iTunes window as "iPod" instead of "xxx's iPod Touch" like it used to. The only options I have are Check for Update (disabled) and Restore. Is there any way to fix this without restoring my iPod? And if I have to restore, can I do so without losing (or having to re-transfer) any of my data that hasn't been or can't be backed up? Please help and thanks in advance!
    P.S. My iPod is in its genuine state: it hasn't been jailbroken or anything like that.

    Unfortunately, I've already tried that. Also, here is a list of other things I've tried, but have taken no effect:
    -Recharging, Restarting, Resetting, and Reconnecting my iPod Touch to my computer
    -Restarting my computer
    -Reinstalling iTunes
    -Reinstalling all iTunes, Apple, and iPod USB drivers
    -Updating the same drivers (but no updates were found)
    -Using a different USB port
    -Connecting to a different computer (doesn't work on my Toshiba laptop either, which is running the same OS and the same version of iTunes as my PC)
    My backup plan was to copy the new songs to my iPod by pasting them through Windows Explorer. My iPod shows up as a portable device under My Computer - as always - but the only thing I can access is a folder full of the photos on my iPod. I think this is normal, but I can't do what I want to do! Do you (or anyone else) have any other good ideas? Remember, I really don't want to do a restore unless I absolutely have to.

  • Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Why is itunes only downloading the first, fifth and ninth songs from any CD?

    Did you perhaps intentionally select just those three tracks to import from one CD a while back, and is iTunes now remembering that selection? Do you see checkboxes against the list of tracks on the CD? If not Go to Edit > Preferences > General, and check the box for Show list checkboxes. CTRL-Click an empty checkbox to check all of them in one go.
    If that isn't the issue are you getting any error messages during the import? Will other software (WMP/MediaMonkey/CDEX etc.) rip the CD instead?

    I'm guessing you created the Enum on the front panel.  If you right-click it and create an indicator, it will match the type, and be an enum.  LabVIEW represents enums as U16, but because the types aren't identical (for example, your enum has 3 values, but a U16 has 65,536 values), LabVIEW automatically coerces (or converts) the smaller (enum) representation into the larger (U16) value.

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

  • Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs?

    Why does Itunes automatically change the genre of my songs? I have assigned specifit genres but they're constantly changed without me doing it. ITs annoying. Does anyone know how i can stop this?

    welcome to the discussions
    you may find that WMP is doing this for you.
    There is a setting is WMP that means that it checks the info held in the file (and shown by itunes) against that held at Gracenote and 'updates' the info where there is any disagreement. On my copy its under the 'media library' tab.
    Turn this off if its on.
