Issues Burning a CD from iTunes (PC).

[pwiles1968]

I have been trying to make a CD I can use when i go for Demo's All of my music is in ALAC and I thought the easiest thing to do would make a playlist with a few songs and use iTunes to Burn a Disc.

I an assuming that this is possible and it seems to do it but whenever I place the disc in to my CD player it just says ERROR.

Am I missing something here?

Sorry for the Double post seems to be doing that a lot lately?

Should just be a case of creating a playlist, then right clicking and choosing Burn Playlist to Disc, then choosing Audio CD and then inserting the CD when prompted.

Have you tried a different blank CD?

That is exactly what i have done.

2 Different Blanks So Far, they are both larger size ones though 700 & 800MB Respectively, not sure if this is causing an issue with my old Marantz.

Worth having a look at the disc on your computer to see what format the tracks are in, checking whether the disc is finalised as an audio CD, and above all checking whether the player you have is able to play CD-R/RW discs, which tend to be less reflective than 'pressed' CDs, and can thus cause some players reading problems.

Popped one in to my Laptop says it is an Audio CD.

Type = CD Drive, File System = CDFS.

My Player definatley does play CDR's I have used them before and pretty sure they are the 700 MB ones? May Have another go tonight, make sure there is under and Hour of audio selected.

...And the files themselves? WAV?

Did not check the file format, pretty sure it was not ALAC as it played in one of the head units I had on my desk and I am were they do not support ALAC.

Will try burning another one later and at 1 or 2x speed also see if that makes a difference.

Trying a MacBook this time 55 mins of music at 1x, we will how that goes.

Well that did it, why it did not work before not quite sure but appears to be sorted now.

Thanks Guys.
