ITunes Question

[happy_bee4]

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the music from your ITunes onto a CD that will work in any cd player? I tried to transfer my music to a CD and put it in my car and the screen said CD Rom and kicked my Cd out

Did you use any old CD or a music CD? Maybe your car CD player requires a music CD? I believe you can also export the songs an MP3. Every CD I ever made via iTunes works just fine.

I used a maxwell CD-R?

Are you sure it burned?

By my recollection and file inspection, the files in iTunes format are propreitary and can not be used in any other program, (or burned to a CD that can be read by any machine). If you have the original you are in luck, if you got music/audio/video from the iTunes store, you are out of luck. Tried to use the music on a video I was editing f(or private use, vacation trip). No go. So, if you buy through iTunes forget about using it elsewhere.

I have never had a problem burning CDs using music purchased from the iTunes store. I made my mother a slideshow using Windows Movie Maker, and used music purchased from the iTunes store, also with no problems. :shrug:

We've burned our bought Itunes to cd's to load onto my daughters MP3 player:shrug: No problems.

I am pretty sure it burned. Do I have to transfer the music to the windows media player before I can burn the cd?

I also have Itunes, but haven't tried to burn it onto a CD yet. I know some will not read if you burn it to a CD-RW instead of a CD-R. I'll give it a try this weekend and let you know.

We burn CDs straight from iTunes all the time. Been able to play them everywhere except for Sharon's stereo. Her stereo wouldn't recognize my disc as having anything on it.

Sharon's stereo is broke?! Guess the dance is postponed for this weekend.

I'm going to try again after dinner and see what I can do. I just would really like to listen to the music I have stored on my Ipod in the car without having to buy the whole connector thing!

Here stereo worked fine except for the fact it didn't like my CD... my CD played fine for me.

Okay, so i went into my itunes and where i copied the disc it says "back up to disc"..so i am guessing that was the wrong thing to do. I do not see where you can burn a disc, am I missing it?

When you put the CD in, look to the top right of iTunes, do you see a circle that says 'burn disc'? Click it.

you have to choose in the preferences - data cd or Audio cd ........

data = mp3 if that is how you ripped them not ACC ? AAC ? - most newer aftermarket and some OEM car cd players can read the mp3 and windows media file format that would = 10hrs of music on one disc ......... Oh and if you ripped your CD's in the AAC format you can have iTunes convert them to mp3 for you

also if you bought off the iTunes store - burning them to Audio CD removes the AAC DRM crap ........ so you could then re import them if desired
