iTunes CD Burning Help

Professor S · 07-29-2005, 12:27 PM

Ok, I just installed a TDK CD burner that I purchased a while ago so that I could burn my iTunes music onto convenient, car stereo ready CDs. Unfortunately, it appears that the friggin' file types are not friggin' compatable with my friggin' burner. The iTunes filetypes are MPEG4's while my CD Burner looks to only not support those specific types of files.

IS there any way I can change the file type without corrupting them so that I can burn a CD? Is there any other way to fix this?

If not, I'm going to go back to stealing music like I did back in college. I try and be a good citizen and support bands by buying music legally, and the favor is returned with compatability issues. I never had a problem burning stolen files back in the day, yet the above board files appear to have all kinds of issues. Thats irony for you.

your trying to burn em with a seperate burning program arent you?

try this, Make a playlist on iTunes, (bottom left, should be a + key on itunes, adds a playlist) name it what you like, goto the your library on iTunes, drag all the songs you want on the CD into that new playlist, right click the playlist, select burn playlist to disc. then in a few seconds the icon on the upper right of itunes should change, (colors or something) and you click it to burn to the CD.

Make sure you change your CD burner in the iTunes program settings.

Yeah, I figured that out a little while ago. What a way to make a simple process needlessly complicated. Thanks anyway, though.
