iTunes 12.7.2 CD Burning Issues

I guess that makes sense. If the software thinks the burn is not complete, it wouldn't eject the CD. You're right - this is a horrible problem. Although the supervisor I spoke with at Apple was very friendly and helpful, it is clear that they are either not taking this seriously, or they know it's bad and are trying to keep it quiet until they find a fix. Probably the latter.

This is unexceptionable from a company who turns over such high profits. The amount of blank CDs I have wasted is beyond frustration to say the least. All this time and STILL no rectification!! Apple need to compensate us by means of vouchers/ CD replacement and a **** apology! Shame on Apple

I too tried to burn on 2x speed..It worked for the first cd that had 4 songs on my playlist.

Then I tried the 2nd CD from another album on my playlist. It TOTALLY burned the wrong album!!!!

I have used probably at least 10 CD's trying to burn. NOT

GOOD!

I have spent $$$$ on Itunes for my music. (I teach dance and fitness) Now I can't use it!!! I am very frustrated and angry! PLEASE APPLE FIX THIS NOW!!!!

I am NOT buying another song until it is!!!!

I might be forced to use another company until it is!!

I guess I was lucky to get someone super helpful when I called, because he directed me to a supervisor who actually found the 2X speed solution after looking at one of these threads. I always say that when you call customer support for any large company, you have about a 1 in a 100 chance of getting someone who really cares about your problem. Thank God I did this time!

Yes, if you're burning multiple discs simultaneously, there apparently is still a problem. I do my burns one at a time, so I haven't run into that issue. I don't know if that has to do with 2x; I think it's part of the larger problem.

Do you mean transferring your iTunes playlist to a Windows Media Player library?

Actually, You can't transfer iTunes to Windows Media Player without burning the songs onto a CD since WMP only runs MP3s. You will need an available program to strip off the protection and convert the iTunes m4p, m4b, m4a pieces to mp3s. 'Tuneclone', for example is supposed to be quite reliable..........so I've been told.

Hi. I second the recommendations the others have presented. Sometimes we have to take matters into our own hands! I also think the Apple rep was being disingenuous in saying it isn't a problem for everyone. My guess is the only people not having problems are the ones who didn't install the last update.

Thanks for this information. I wonder if this difference between burning copies of old and new CDs is intentional, or is there still a bug? Either way, I am not going to install any new iTunes updates until it is fixed.

I installed new version and playlist burnt OK but with the 2 second gap between tracks and the thing for adjusting the gaps has now been disabled - Second attempt and it burnt a completely different playlist --- the other desktop with pre-problems version works fine ???? What now ?

So, what you're saying is that the 12.7.3 update isn't really a full resolution to returning iTunes back to its original and unobstructed state. I am comfortable with the results that are being achieved as offered by pre-fix recommendations that you have offered during this interim period up until now and I don't see a need to load 12.7.3 unless it the final fix update to bring us back to full normalcy. But, thanks anyway.

Yes I can confirm this. I have recently downloaded the new iTunes update and by creating new playlists I have successfully downloaded these playlists onto disc without any problem. But indeed, only by the option stated by turingtest2

If you are now back to perfect order of operation and seemingly free of the recent flawed update then stay as you are since iTunes 12.7.3 is only a temporary fix and it has not yet proved to be satisfactorily working for all users. Until a high majority of complainant iTunes subscribers who are gathered together in this community forum unanimously assert that a further remedial update appears to be totally foolproof, I for one, will not be at rest of assurance that it is official.

I also used quite a few

cd’s & did contact tech support thru apple & she was not able to fix the problem. I also downloaded the new version of iTunes & it appears to be working. Question how did you get compensated for your cd’s & who did you speak to. Any information you can give would be appreciated thank you.

Wow, they're still making that claim? As TuringTest2 pointed out last week, you're not going to have a problem with burning CDs if you never burn CDs! I feel quite sure that those of us who do have ALL run into this problem, especially with the previous version. You may be right that in the current version, people may be having different issues depending on the computer they are using. For myself, the only remaining issue is that I still can't burn the correct playlist from the file drop down; I have to right-click on the playlist from the list on the left hand side. Other than that, everything is working again.

I continue to be amazed that Apple has not fully fixed this problem immediately. The message I get is that they are not very concerned about it. Do they realise the damage this is doing to their brand?
