Disc burning issue not solved with itunes 12.7.2.60

Another issue I've encountered is a reduction in playlist length on this update. Whereas I was previously able to fit up to 1:19:47 on a blank disc, it now tops out at 1:18 and change. It's a moot point for now, since every compilation I've attempted has failed.

I had the same issue on my Win 7 machine and the fix is to roll back your iTunes version to 12.7.1.14. as suggested by turingtest2 on 12/15/17. I uninstalled according to iTunes instructions (you must uninstall all apple components in the order they indicate) then download the 12.7.1.14 version and install it.

I have been wrestling with this for hours, including a call with Apple support who only told me to re-install the existing version of iTunes, which didn't fix the issue. The roll back worked and I'm writing CD's again.

It's frustrating that Apple doesn't acknowledge this version flaw as discovered by rogerbat. Thanks for your detailed troubleshooting explanation, rogerbat - VERY Helpful.

Definitely not solved!!!! Just spent 2 hours trying to sort it all out, lost 5 CD-Rs in the process, a lot of stress, just when I needed to knuckle down and get a job prepared. So not cool, such a big glitch! So with my old laptop, been burning CD-Rs for years, no problem (apart from odd cd-r here and there but nothing like this!). Currently running Windows 10, just upgraded to latest i-tunes (12.7.2.60) and suddenly, can't change the seconds between the tracks, can't tick the box that indicates track names / ID on CD-R. Try to burn and it just burns 4 tracks onto the CD-R. So infuriating and such a basic problem. Had to uninstall this latest version and install an old version (12.7.0.66), which wasn't so easy to find...So glad I didn't have to fiddle with my library and losing latest tracks. But please Apple sort this out ASAP!!! Thanks.

Hi to anyone that has had this problem with burning CD and getting an error. I think I have solved the problem. I burned the CD at a lower speed like 2x it took little longer but I got no error message after first song it worked!!😃👍-1F3FC; You need to burn the CD at a lower speed for it to work. The new version of iTunes doesn’t recognize the “maximum possible“ speed so I think it needs a digit in there like 2x or 14x! Will need to play around with the speed! Have a good day happy burning😇😃😀

Tried the 2x burning speed... nope.

Might be my ancient Acer, running Windows 10 64-bit, latest update, also Chrome, latest update... it got further than anything else, but still, it failed. Not sure if the Microsoft update is the problem, or Apple is the problem. I know these guys are competitors, but ****... you'd think they'd test their **** before unleashing it on the public.

Between Microsoft's & Apple's updates, I'm amazed anyone's PC still functions properly.

Note to Apple...

Look. For YEARS I have burned cd's from iTunes playlists. I know how it's done. But now, with the latest version, burning ends with an 'error' after the first track. You have wrecked the burning process for Windows with your latest version. I --- like many other people --- have thousands of purchased, downloaded music tracks in iTunes. We are the people who support paying for music rather than stealing it from everywhere. Please correct the burning 'error' in an updated iTunes version. It's a simple fix.

For people stuck there IS an easy remedy. Drag and Drop your iTunes music library into Windows Media Center. Burning playlists from there is no problem. Or, Drag and Drop into Cyberlink Media Player. Clean, clear burns are no problem.

It is just stupid that iTunes burning has ended.

For some stupid reason I clicked and installed the 12.7.2.60 version AFTER not being able to burn cds with a past 12.7.2 version. Now I can't burn cds again! So, I'll have uninstall an reinstall the 12.7.1 version AGAIN. Hire someone that knows what they're doing or lose business.

After destroying over twenty discs, and uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes numerous times (not to mention uninstalling Roxio creator in case there was a conflict), I finally had Apple net-op into my machine and learned that you now have to right-click on the playlist name under the "Library" column (not the "File" dropdown menu in the upper toolbar, and select "Burn Playlist to Disc" to make the application work properly. Too bad this instruction hasn't yet been incorporated into the suggested solutions provided by Apple on their website. Good luck...

I reinstalled to the earlier version, and I won't update until there is confirmation that this issue is resolved. If iTunes wants to be the sole authority on my digital music library, they need to offer all the full expected features at all times. I do not stream and do not plan to subscribe to apple music.

I will try that. Took me awhile to figure out what you meant. But it does seem to relate to the other error message which comes up sometimes, to the effect of a list of songs that can't be burned that are not at all in the specified playlist. I wondered what it was looking at when it gathered a seemingly random collection of cloud-stored tunes.

I have been having the same issues since the last update came out too! I constantly get windows error 0x80004005 whenever I try to burn a CD with iTunes. Windows Media Player does the same thing or not work at all. If I slow the burn speed down to 2x I AM able to burn CDs somehow. I hope this gets resolved so I can burn at max speed but at least I am burning full CDs not one track then getting the error message...

Thanx so much! As an Apple T2 Advisor this pleased my distraught customer's; as I have received multiple calls from DJ's and this has worked every time and resolved the emerging driver conflict on windows computers.........

So has the latest i-tunes update sorted this (CD burning with Windows) issue out? I don't dare update my i-tunes in case it doesn't work for everyone. I see it's worked for timfromwakefield but has it worked for anyone else?

Unfortunately, the update is not working for me! Still can't burn a CD from a playlist. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I admit to not being very tech literate. Waiting for a call back from Apple Support, although they have been zero help through all this!

There have been other reports with 12.7.2.x that the wrong playlist is burnt although it isn't exactly clear what the cause is. This issue may have carried over into 12.7.3.46 although I had no problem burning my chosen list last night with it. You cannot burn anything stored in the cloud of that has come thought the Apple Music service.

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 that doesn't work what error message if any do you get?
