iTunes 12.7.2 CD Burning Issues

Welcome to the group of us who have been here for the better part of six weeks brain storming together on how to get around this problem in the wait. Many of us have also had to dispose of spoiled CDs. There's nothing much that we can do at this point until a fresh remedial response is made available. In the meantime if you peruse the community there have been some reliable suggestions offered herein, although temporary, with a little patience a satisfactory burn can be done. It's just too bad that Apple hasn't posted an advisory alert on iTunes to caution us from repeatedly attempting to do burns resulting in multiple CDs having to be scrapped.

Hello. I, too, have disc burning issues. I wasted about 20 discs; some just trying to help out the Apple phone support rep to determine the errors. By the end of the conversation I was told it must be a Windows 10 issue. Upon contacting Microsoft I learned that it is not a Microsoft issue, but an iTunes issue. So I tried another laptop and I have the same issue on that one. So, here we are with a burning issue and no resolution.

What speed (2X or 4X) lwas used when burning, how long did it take and did you select 'burn' by clicking on the playlist name within the left column list or from the dropdown under 'File' at the top of the screen?

You already said that by after uninstalling 12.7.2 then reinstalled iTunes 12.7.1 your were delighted with the revived ability to work iTunes to your satisfaction. So, why worry? Carry-on as you are but stay tuned among with the rest of us as we equally await the official fix.

It certainly is. Although the newer version appears to burn the playlists; there still are flaws. Firstly there are no texts for each track (?) also some tracks take far too long to play on the cd that’s burnt. I understand beggars can’t be choosers but Apple really need to sort this as we are now approaching two months of frustration.

After no issues for the past few months,I've been trying to burn a podcast which requires two CD"s and -nothing nothing. The burn doesn't launch. hope the issues with backing up files from earlier in the year hasn't returned. Just installed latest update yesterday BTW.Thanks

I was trying to back -up burn a music podcast that runs 1:19:55 -guess itunes read this as over the 80 minute mark and I got the "this recording requires more than one CD ' pop up. Even checking "OK" to that notice -no burning started. I then right-clicked into the "Podcast Info " and then to "options". Changed the start and stop times to get the podcast under 80 minutes and it then recorded. This is an option for now but with longer backup's this is a problem. Should have waited for others to test drive the latest update before I launched it. Thanks for all your help

Been following this tread for awhile and have had many issues as mentioned by others. Just upgraded to the most recent I-Tunes yesterday and continue to have the following issues. Can burn RW (2 diff brands) and CD-R's from an old batch without problems. However I get errors with all other reputable brands (3 diff ones) of CD-R that I've tried. Uninstalled and am unable to go back to older version since playlists had been created under the new. Anyone else encounter this?

Go to Eyewitness2............there you'll find a detailed description of the required steps to follow. G-luck.

There are some excellent advisers/ helpers on here but for me I’m using Windows Media Player. Hope you get it reso

Because of your post, I just burned 2 different playlists with 2x speed without any problems. As someone else suggested, I right clicked the playlist and burned from there. Hope that helps.

Go to 'turigtest2............directions offered are the best yet to temporarily reconvene successful burns until Apple provides an official fix.

Thanks to Ridley1555 we know it isn't necessary to uninstall the other components in this instance, nor do you need to roll back your database.
