ive had the same too. all since buying some tunes off the itunes shop. wasted cds, reinstalled itunes.

it has been suggested to reinstall the c drive, though that sounds a little drastic, since this surely is only a software problem, and i only have one hardrive in the thing, so i wouldnt really be able to uninstall, as windows is on c. ive been onto other forums, and reducing the speed of the cd drive is suggested, but again i think this doesnt need doing. the drive itself is recognised in my computer, and when a full, normal music cd is there, it recognises that, but when i put in a blank cd, itunes either fails to recognise there is one there, or now and again, starts to burn but comes back with error 4621.

currently i have re-embraced the whole analouge thing, and have a cable from one pc to another, which is then recording into a prog then moving it over to a much lesser version of itunes.

i know that sounds a rubbish way of getting the music off, but its the only way i can get it to work. other than that, if you have a program such as sound forge/ wave lab etc, then try taking a line out of the pc and back into itself to record what is playing out of itunes (again a rubbish way, but will work, and you should be able to burn onto cd that way).

please let me know if you find an answer that is more realistic.

I think I have finally found the mystery of the burning CD and error. This version of Itunes is not recognizing the space on a music disc or blank disc.

I purchased 12 songs - tried to burn them to a blank disc - time after time, it would stop half way through with the error everyone is getting.

I finally decided to only burn half the songs on one disc and half on another disc - it worked - then I took those two disc to another recording program that I have and was able to combine the two disc into one disc - a pain in the butt but at least I now know the problem - iTunes can't figure out how much room you have on your own disc - that is just so wrong!!!!
