iTunes 12.7.2 CD Burning Issues

I have heard this too from a few friends. To hurry up and burn a CD, I used CyberLinkPower2Go that came with my laptop. It's "old school dragging & dropping" the tunes into the burn section but worked great.

After spending an hour on the phone today with Apple support, we were able to find a temporary solution that doesn't involve reverting to the previous version of iTunes or dumping the library to Windows Media. For some reason, you need to reduce the burning speed to 2X. Of course it will take longer to burn, but I burned 3 CDs using this method and they all worked. Another bug from the latest update is that a different playlist starts burning other than the one selected. To prevent this, go to the list on the left, right click on the playlist you want to burn, and select the burn CD option from there. Hopefully, Apple will fix these errors and release another update SOON! I ruined at least 15 blank CDs trying to troubleshoot this on my own. I thought my burner had stopped working. **** you, Apple!

My library was intact after doing this. This worked for me

Rolling back to iTunes 12.7.1.14 may be easier than transferring your playlists into Windows Media Player.

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)

An alternative suggestion is to limit the burn speed to something slower than you would normally use.

Reports suggest Apple are aware of the issue but there is no ETA for a new build.

Me, Same as everyone - new itunes won't allow me to burn playlists to CDR (which I've been doing for years with no problem) same problem on different laptop but Windows Media burns OK but just not as good as itunes - also CD Burner XP works OK - Couple of days ago rang itunes - reception went off to check - sure enough there is a problem but not for everyone (apparently) so probably best to ring and register a complaint - Then have to wait for new version of itunes and hope that restores ability to burn playlists to CDR's - fingers crossed - this sent 19th. Jan' 2018.

I've just burnt a CD with 12.7.4.76 at max. speed and it seemed to work OK. I can't test for CD text, and I wasn't at the limit of 80 minutes. Realistically it might be perfect for me and still not work correctly for you. Install the new build and test it. Roll back if you're not happy with it.

I had to go back to the previous version. I will not be updating any time s

Thanks for the WM Player idea - it worked perfectly after I wasted 4 CDs using iTunes. 🙂

I got one to burn using Windows Media Player. Thanks!

I had this same exact problem and error number. Come to find out one of the files I was trying to burn was corrupted. Got rid of that one and it burned, no problem.

in case you haven't gotten it yet there is a newer update for iTunes 12.7.3. supposedly this one works

Burning CDs by right-clicking the playlist name in the sidebar seems to work OK. File > Burn Playlist to Disc seems, at least from some accounts, to be less reliable.

I ran into the same issue on my Windows box (running Windows 10), but I created the same playlist on iTunes 12.7.2.58 running on our MacBook Pro (had to move the .mp3 and .aiff music files over and add them to the iTunes library) and was able to burn a CD without any error. Maybe it's an iTunes for Windows 10 issue, though I can't say that for sure. If you have an Apple computer handy, you can try what I did pro-tem. Obviously the more playlists & CDs you want to burn the bigger the hassle that would be... 😟
