iTunes 12.7.2 CD Burning Issues

As given elsewhere in this thread my suggested workaround is to uninstall iTunes then download and install one of the following as appropriate:

• iTunes 12.7.1.14 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2017-10-30)
• iTunes 12.7.1.14 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2017-10-30)

There is usually no need to remove other Apple components, and your library will be unaffected.

Others have reported success limiting the burn speed to 1x or 2x. Use the right-click context menu to burn rather than the File menu or the wrong list may burn.

As noted in the thread there would appear to be a general issue burning from iTunes 12.7.2.x for Windows.

A workaround is to uninstall iTunes then download and install one of the following as appropriate directly from Apple’s secure servers:

• iTunes 12.7.1.14 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2017-10-30)
• iTunes 12.7.1.14 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2017-10-30)

Probably takes 10-15 mins to implement.

You could also try burning at 1x or 2x speed which has worked for some, but doesn't address an issue some users have where the wrong playlist is burnt.

Hello, I have this same issue and totally agree with you. I wasted about 10 blank discs trying different things. I hope this fix this bug ASAP. Do you know if there a way to back out the new version and restore and older one?

mine is affected too wasted many discs tonight, im going to bill apple for the wasted discs!!!i hope they fix this issue soon its so annoying , you would think they would test a itunes update before unleashing on the public??? clueless idiots working at apple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! furious and p$$$$d off with apple!

I'm having the same issue as well. I've wasted about 5 cds so far. Would be nice if they actually let the public know there was a problem and that they were at least working on it rather than making me play Sherlock Holmes on my own.

Yep me 2. After the update, I would try to burn a disc, and it would burn the first song then eject the disc and the error message would pop up. About 5 cd's wasted trying to burn... Never had this issue before.

Person I talked with came to this forum and read what was going on exactly (props to RogerBat for the detailed bug report) and forwarded it to engineers. He stated that if this many people were having trouble and were talking bout here there must be many more who have not reported it. Said he would get back with me on Wednesday. I believe the ball is rolling.

Pfft...I came here with the same issue and as I am reading all of the posts, I get an update message asking to install 12.7.2.

I am currently running 12.7.2.58. Has anyone updated to the 'new' 12.7.2?

Judging from other posts the issue isn't fixed in 12.7.2.60. Try reinstalling iTunes 12.7.1.14. See the iTunes installers section of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download links and roll back instructions for reverting your database if needed.

When you use the steps in Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash you can go back to the state of your library at the last update that made changes to the structure. I've just checked inside my Previous iTunes Libraries folder and it seems that the last one corresponds to iTunes 12.7.0 all versions of 12.7 use the same format for the database, so you'd only need those steps if you wanted to go back to 12.6.3.6 or earlier.

You should of course Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy, or something similar.

Hello all,

I hope that this helps. I recently had this issue and I was able to resolve it using some information found in this article iTunes for Windows: If you have trouble burning a disc . Specifically there was one suggestion that the article made that was the difference, "

Make sure to select the correct disc format. To create a CD with any type of audio file that iTunes supports (MP3, AAC, AIFF, and so on), try selecting Data CD or DVD. If the playlist you’re trying to burn includes AAC files, make sure MP3 CD is not selected."

In summary change the disc format to Data CD or DVD, this apples to any audio format that iTunes supports, so any song that's playable in iTunes. Again, I hope this helps and please let me know if it does. Peace!
