burning youtube songs onto cd

I can easily convert youtube videos and send them to Itunes. No problem. When I try to burn a playlist of all youtube songs it won't do it. It cancels the burn right away. Anybody help?

acer, Windows Vista

First, make sure that they play properly in iTunes.

Assuming they do, convert them to WAV using these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 Put the WAV versions into a playlist, and burn to CD from that

After you verify the CD is OK, you may delete the WAVs and just keep your original versions.

Still doesn't work. I'm sure all the songs have been converted to wav. When the burn settings box comes up do I burn as audio or mp3? does the burn speed matter? thanks

Choose *audio CD* and use burn speed of 2x.

But before you do that, try to burn an audio CD using non-youtube songs, and make sure there isn't some more general burning issue.

I guess there is some other burning issue. I tried non youtube songs and it still wouldn't work. I tried to burn them as mp3's. Was that right?

That would be right if you were trying to produce an MP3 CD, but not if you are trying to produce a CD that will play in a normal CD player.

I converted the songs to wav, I checked on audio cd, and I burned at 2x speed. It went through a preparing disc process which got me excited that it would finally work but as soon as it started writing it canceled again. End of the line?

Is your computer able to burn CDs with any other program, such as Windows Media Player?
