The video is wrong. You have two different ways to put music on a CD: #1: Burn the files onto the CD like you’re putting them on a flash drive. #2: Make a music CD - as if you bought the CD at a music store. If this guy tested the CD after he “burned” it, he would’ve noticed that it doesn’t work in a CD player.
Thanks for this video! I have a big problem though, and I'm not sure what the cause of it could be. I followed these directions and ended up with everything seeming all good on my macbook pro, but when putting the CD into my car CD player, it is silent and only has 1 track. Is there a right and wrong type of CD for .mp3, or is it something within iTunes, etc.?
Hi Birgetta,. I have never encountered that problem myself but a guy on the following forum did and he said after he cleaned the CD laser it worked: www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/cds-burned-on-my-mac-won-t-play-on-cd-player-588395/ Now, that's kind of an annoying task so you could also try using a different program for the burning like iTunes. here's an article on how to use itunes: www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-burn-a-cd/ Best of luck
The problem could be that the finder is looking at the .mp3 files and creating an MP3 audio disk or a data CD. On a normal audio CD you will not see .mp3 after each file. While many audio CD players now support the MP3 audio CD format, there are still those that don't.
Hello. I can't find a video on how to take my cd's, put on imac and then put on usb for a vehicle that does not have a cd player. Do you have video for this? Thank you
Hi there, Is there a certain format that the Audio has to be for me to be able to burn a CD? I've used Forstwire to download music and for some reason it keeps cancelling my disc when I press Burn to playlist to disk.
Rough overview: depends what type of music files they are, if mp3 can burn as data (in vid), if they're .wavs or .aiffs or any other full bandwidth formats they're audio, not data. Likewise for the player, you can not play an mp3 disk on an audio cd player unless it's specified in the specs that it can. And vice versa. The size of the file is a pretty obvious give away too, much larger size eg 10MB or more for a track (audio) rather than 1-2MB for mp3 data formats etc, depending on length of the track of course. The reason mp3's are so small is because they miss alot of the goodness particularly dynamics. But ppl can fit a zillion songs in the same amount of space so quantity over quality it seems.. On an audio cd you can only fit one album (that will sound as the artist intended), yet on the same physical cd if you were to create it as a data cd you could fit heaps of albums on there, wont say a number as it depends on bit rate. Anyway, burning an audio disk is a different format and you cant thru finder. I like Toast but its expensive, pretty sure you still can with iTunes
This does NOT create an AUDIO CD. It creates a DATA CD with MP3 files on it. Most CD players will not recognise a disc created in this way. The video is misleading and I expect hundreds or thousands of CD-R disks have been wasted as a result. To create an audio CD on MAC create a playlist in the Music app and then choose File -> Burn Playlist to Disc.
hello utube.. as you, wanted to create an audio cd and found this tutorial on top search results.. but the video explains how to create an mp3 data cd instead.. you can fit about 5 full albums a burned mp3 CD so its a waste of CD data space by the tutorials method.. & older audio CD players do not read mp3s.. find a different tutorial for writing actual audio CDs..
I’m giving this five stars originally wanted to know how to burn music onto CD so I can listen to music in my car because albums are so hard to find all very expensive or just not there to buy and I tried to find the best tutorial that’s like simplest to use and this works Amazingly I just tested it in my car and it works. Thank you so much.
This does not actually create a true "audio CD", which is accepted by most players in the 90's and early 2000's. This just burns music to a CD, making it (technically) a "music CD" but effectively, it's the same as just drag&dropping the files on a flash drive. There used to be an option while burning to select "audio CD" which solved this, but now there isn't, which led me here, which makes me realise that many don't know it either
I agree. In 2023 I don't know how to burn a faultlessly CD-RW in my my mac because there's no option to burn at low speeds. Even if you tell the software to burn at 4x it'll burn at 10x. Same story using 3 different cd brands, 3 different pieces of sotware and 3 different cd burners. No problems with audio cdr discs because 10x is a good choice for these "more easy to read for the players" ones.
Doesn't work for my car stereo. Anyone know why? I've formatted each song into many different specifications. I've changed the burn rate, I've done a lot, but to no avail
First, how do you get a song to an mp3 file? Also, does it work with karaoke songs and also words? Do you know how to rip karaoke songs and burn them to an external burner? Anyone? Thank you 😘
You burned here a regular data CD with MP3 files, not Audio CD. It won't work in every CD player. Better to use iTunes/Music. Simply add mp3 files to iTunes, create a playlist, right click and choose "Burn to CD" option. You can even decide what should be the length of gap between songs there...
I tried this method and i got the music to upload onto the cd, but i cant get it to play on anything. Could it be the type of disc im using? I have verbatim cds and after looking at the reviews I thought it should be fine, but now im not too sure, and very frustrated!
Too funny... the music at the end sounds like some of the music I've downloaded for an older gentleman that needs me to put the music on CDs. You did a great job explaining but I do not have a CD drive. Bought the LG DVD Writer but I can't get it to burn my CDs :( Thanks for the video though.
Any chance you have a video on how to add a music cd to your macOS music app library? I assume an optical drive is needed to start since the newest Mac's do not include a cd drive.
Good afternoon Sr. I follow your instructions but after burning the CD, it doesn't play in the car. When I put the cd in the computer it sent back to studio one. Maybe I need to create mp3 folder . I don't know.
hey hey, when my cd has finished burning I put my CD into my car and noting happens. I try and skip a song and its stuck on 1 and there is no other music or even sound coming out. WHY!? please and thanks!
Can your CD-player read and understand mp3? My can’t, it’s too old. You may need to convert your mp3 to .aif (on Mac) or .wav (on Windows) and then burn.
@@CarsonCameronClark Great. Then you have a CD player with a special feature to play MP3 files. But its not the same as an Audio CD. If you dont believe me just google it.
When you click that link it should just take you to a mp4 to mp3 converter site.. try just going to google and typing "youtube to mp3" click the first link that comes up and you should be good.
Someone help! I do this method and the cd will play on my Mac & our very old laptop but won’t play in my car! I know my car can play burned cds because my dad used to be a DJ and has thousands and they all play great but the ones I burn won’t! :/ I do this exact method too. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thank you for showing another way to burn vice using Apple music, but, like with Apple music (burning a playlist), both cd-r's read as a data cd in my sony dvd player..and suggestions?
I'm doing everything you say to do, but every time i confirm to burn the file onto the disc i get error code 0x80020000 :( Do you think it's because I used Spotify to get my files?
Can ITunes music not be burned to a CD? I burned a Cd with mp3 files as well as iTunes music files and on the CD only the mp3 files showed up. Can someone help me with this issue?
Okay so I have parental controls on my computer. Once I put the blank CD in the disk drive and the message popped up, I did as you said in the video. Accept it says “you can’t burn _______ to untitled CD because it’s restricted, have your network administrator change settings” Well I looked in parental control settings and nothing for burning CDs or anything relating to CDs is restricted. So I don’t know what the problem is. Can anyone help?
This way works but you will not be able to play the CD in all formats some cars will not play CDs when they burn from a Mac are use third-party applications or iTunes to burn properly. But very nice video
