ITunes Help!?

Question

I am trying to burn a playlist onto a disc. I chose "burn playlist to disc" and put the disc in.. ITunes then says its complete but when I try to play the disc on a cd player nothing is on there except some wierd noise like it is broken. This has happend several times and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong because ITunes says its burning it to the disc properly. Help!

Answer 1

If you are trying to play it on a normal cd player (not a player that plays mp3's from cd's) then on itunes you need to go to Edit--> Preferences--> Advanced--> Burning, and then Where it says "Disc Format" click on Audio CD (to see a picture go to this link --> http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/proxy_21/burning.jpg ).

Something I would suggest as well is that you set the Importing Settings to mp3 format, as this is a format that is compatible with pretty much any audio player and software applications.http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l142/proxy_21/importing.jpg

hope that helps.

The problem is not that anything is broken but that ITunes uses MP4 formatting for the music. You can't play MP4 files without a converter on a regular CD player. You will have to download a converter program to convert the MP4 into MP3 or WAV files to burn them onto a CDR. You can use the link to find a free program to do this. By the way, you don't have to use ITunes for your IPod, it's garbage.

Answer 3

Maybe it's the discs that you are using they may not be compatible with mp4's so you might have 2 convert your playlist to mp3's

Answer 4

How old is the player ? A lot of units over 3 yrs or so won't play home burnt blank cd, only commercial prerecorded "silver" cd's ...

Answer 5

You've probably got a defective disc. Try another one and see if it works this time.
