iTunes 12.7.2 CD Burning Issues

I'm sorry to say that, contrary to what some commenters are saying, even the newest update doesn't work properly. Using a 700 MB CD that can hold 80 min of music, the program always complains "playlist doesn't fit on one disc", even if it's clearly less than 80 mins. The mistake occurs also if you try to burn a playlist that already had been burnt by a previous version of iTunes. I finally managed to burn 2 CDs with less than 70 mins playing time, but now the CD-Text was disrupted. Song titles and artists were totally messed up! Very annoying!

Just to maybe help keep things in perspective ? according to the technicians, Yes there are problems with the last two versions of itunes but part of the problem is they don't affect everybody??? Apparently they need people to contact them directly before they can pin-point the issues.

Today is the first time I'm trying to burn a playlist onto a disk in iTunes since this all began in December. And this is a month after your post.

I'm glad I saw your post because using File>Burn Playlist gave me an immediate error. I was a bit freaked out. I'm in the middle of burning a playlist having used the right-click context menu on the playlist in the sidebar. It has completed the burning process but I'll have to inspect the disk to be sure it's fine to give to a friend. I'm glad I followed this thread. Thanks for your help.

Version 12.7.5 still is a disaster. It doesn't burn from the main menu, only when you right-click on the playlist and open it in a new window. CD-Text is completely scrambled, the first two or three songs are labeled correctly, then it is confusion. Above the 70 min-mark it says the playlist is too long for one CD. Can anybody tell me for sure if going back to 12.7.1.14 is possible without losing all the playlists? I tried it successfully from an earlier version, but foolishly thought that Apple would have fixed this problem after a few months. Wasn't the case!!

Thanks Cathy, I'll burn out of WMP until the bug gets worked out. Just a small inconvenience, at most. I just recently re-formatted my Dell XPS, and don't have any system restores, as of yet.

See my post here earlier in the thread. All builds of iTunes 12.7.x appear to use the same version of the database, so going back doesn't require that you roll back the library.

Try using a rewriteable CD... you can always erase and reuse it !

After this fiasco, now I will always start with a rewriteable CD to see if iTunes works.

My suggestion would be for you to uninstall followed by an immediate reinstall then go the member Eyewitness1 to follow the directions offered.

Don't know if you saw the other response saying you can burn CD but change speed to 2x I gave it a go last night with my last CD I had left & it worked, hope this helps you

Go to turingtest2 and follow the directions offered.

You're welcome. 🙂

Use Feedback - iTunes - Apple to let Apple know you're having to roll back to use the features they still haven't fixed properly.

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.
