iTunes 12.7.2 CD Burning Issues

I'm having this issue too! Luckily i checked online before i tired burning more than two discs.

But i thought i would post this for anyone that also has an Apple Mac. I have an Apple laptop as well as my desktop PC and i thought let me try and see if burning works on my mac. Fortunately i have a portal DVD writer so i just plugged it into my laptop and went through all the iTunes steps and it burned my disc perfectly.

This seem to be an iTunes issue with Windows. I'm running all latest versions of iTunes and Windows 10 Pro.

I recently built my PC for video editing because Apple are ******* me off and this issues just adds to the list. Come on Apple! What happened to you?

If you have a Mac, use it for burning! This was my solution.

I have the same problem. I’m using a brand new Windows 10 Laptop & new external CD/DVD burner with iTunes ver. 12.7.2.60. Unlike some replies I read, I only lost 3 CD. I even tried my old Windows 10 Laptop with an internal CD/DVD. Still no luck. I only needed 2 songs on the CD. I used Windows Media Player to make my CD on my New Laptop.

I've been following the thread for a couple of weeks. This morning (12/27/17) I had an update notification, it was the same old 12.7.2 - downloaded anyway (knowing). So, spoke with tech they said, "it is a known issue and they are working on it, can't say when they'll have a fix. Happy New Year!

Burning the wrong playlist happened to me last night also. After that, I just kept getting the error message. Try rebooting your computer and try again with the 2x. Funny, I burn these cds for a fitness instructor as well.

The next time you want to burn a playlist that's well over 80mins. try this:-

Prior to commencing, establish another playlist folder with the same title and label it as #2. Then, start the burn of the entire over lengthened playlist and as it stops and are asked to insert another CD, first take note of the last selection on the list where it stopped. Remember or write down the name of it. Now eject the current CD that has now finished burning. Cut & paste the remaining yet to be burned selections onto playlist #2...........insert a blank CD then right click directly onto the designated #2 name on your pick list and choose 'Burn'.

(do not choose 'File' at the upper left of your screen as you would have done under normal iTunes operating conditions otherwise a different playlist apart from your designated #2 may start burning instead. Trustingly this will properly realign once the problem with iTunes is rectified and returns to normal)

The 2 second gap is working fine for me, but you are right about the wrong playlist issue; that has not yet been fixed. As turingtest2 suggested, the workaround is to right click on your desired playlist from the list on the left of the screen, and then select "burn CD" from there. I have advised my contact at Apple that this issue is still present; hopefully it will be resolved soon. It certainly shouldn't be too much to ask to assume that the software will automatically burn the playlist in front of you!

Been experiencing this issue for months as well. I recently downloaded iTunes version 12.7.4 on 5/25/18 and attempted to burn a disc. It appeared that the issue had been fixed-- the disc initialized and one by one, the tracks were being written to the disc. However, a new problem occurred. Instead of writing the last track and then finalizing, it tries to go back and write track #1 all over again, then it stops... without finalizing. Since it wasn't finalized, the disc will not play back. I did just send iTunes Feedback to Apple regarding this. Seems like they tried to fix the issue but there's still a hiccup at the end with finalization. For reference, I am running Windows 10.

The new 12.7.3. version is the one I'm talking about .

Were you using the right-click context menu from the playlist in the sidebar or File > Burn Playlist to Disc to initiate the burn? The second method appears to be unreliable.

iTunes 12.7.5.9 is out. Any better?

Let Apple know: Feedback - iTunes - Apple.

I'm having the same issue since the update. Wasted so many cds.

Another issue I'm having since the update is playlists not fitting to disc. The same playlists that I have been burning forever all of a sudden won't fit to disc anymore. I gotta transfer the same songs over to an old computer just to burn a disc now. So frustrating. Apple needs to fix this soon.

Welcome to the club of the many disgruntled, 'WG'. Sorry to have to tell you that thousands of us iTunes users are experiencing this sudden blockage since the most recent upgrade was issued. By now you have probably caught onto this from further reading herein among other respondents. There has now become a twist in the whole affair. Apple claims that the problem is not theirs, but, belongs to Microsoft whereas M/S says the opposite. There have been some promising, yet meagre ways around this problem under discovery by other members in here. Have a look at what member 'turningtest2' has posted with regard to utilizing Sync-Toy.......He seemed to help member 'ksall'.

Thanks RogerBat for trying to get this issue resolved with Apple. I had the same issues last night trying to burn some playlists that cost me 5 blank cd's. I also had a cd that was skipping so I decided to copy the exact playlist to a new cd and Itunes was telling me that I had to make 2 audio cd's even though it was the exact playlist and same brand of cd that I already had on 1 cd. These updates suck sometimes!! I called support today and the lady told me that Apple is aware of the situation and are working on a new update. Whether that's true or not is anybody's guess. Hopefully, they straighten this out in the next day or so.

There have been other reports that the wrong playlist is burnt although it isn't exactly clear what the cause is. I had no problem burning my chosen list last night with 12.7.3.46. Make sure the list you want to burn is active in front of you and highlighted in the sidebar then right-click on the playlist name use Burn Playlist from the context menu.

If you still get the wrong list burning then is there any relationship between what gets selected and the one you thought you'd chosen, e.g. is the previous list in the library, or two after it?
