A number of users have reported problems burning discs with iTunes 12.7.2.x for Windows.

A workaround is to 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)

Thanks for replying, Keirre, and that additional info, it really helps! Since you're using iTunes for Windows, please make sure you have tried each of the steps in this resource.

Hello Keirre,

Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to burn CD's in iTunes on your Mac, as you get "an unknown error has occurred" message. To help with your issue, please follow the relevant steps in this resource on your issue with burning CD's.

Hey Allen!

I’m unable to burn discs in iTunes from my PC; not a Mac.

I’ve received several error messages that nclidong the one you referred to as well as “disc-burn cancelled”...

Where to go from here?

Thanks!
