I have an iTunes question...

[bjornolf]

I wanted to burn a CD for my dad to play in his truck. The problem is that my burner is a DVD -RW burner. My understanding is that most car cd players will only play CD +R format disks. I tried to burn the disc straight from iTunes onto a CD +R, but while it says it did it, not even my own disk drive on the computer that made it can read it. What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?

Thanks.

I've never had a problem when burning CDs but my suggestion is to burn from your burner's own software rather than from iTunes.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It was just a REAL pain. I had to go through all my iTunes files and find the individual files for each. Some were in folders under the name of the band, others were in the compilations folder in folders with the name of the album. It took forever, but I finally got it done.

Thanks.

This may be because of how you have your storage settings set. Go to your iTunes preferences and click on advanced. There should be two boxes to check (one says keep itunes folder organized, the other says something about copying files to music folder). If both of these are clicked, your content should be consolidated into your My Music folder and the individual songs will be categorized by artist and album.

This also makes transferring iTunes libraries to new machines much easier.
