Unknown Error 0xC0AA0301 When Attempting to Burn Disc

I have had an issue over the past couple days when I attempt to burn a disc in iTunes. Until a couple days ago I right clicked on the playlist and chose to burn it to a disc. This did not work the past couple times I have done this and I get the message "The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (0xC0AA0301)." Would anyone know what causes this and possibly how to fix?

I was able to get one of the discs I was trying to burn to work by going through File> Burn Playlist to Disc, but the second one I tried it gave the same error message.

Thanks for the help.

There was a general issue burning CDs with iTunes 12.7.2.x for Windows at anything over 2x speed.

iTunes 12.7.3.46 for Windows appears to burn CDs normally at full speed and with mixed formats.

It can be downloaded from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. Some regional sites may supply an older version.

When burning or printing use the right-click context menu on the playlist in the sidebar. File > Burn Playlist to Disc still seems to be unreliable and may attempt to burn the wrong list.

Other reports suggest that 12.7.3.46 doesn't handle CD Text correctly or is unable to burn a full 80 min CD. You might want to go back to 12.7.1.14 for now if either of those cause a problem for you. See the iTunes installers section of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download links, direct from Apple, and instructions on removing the current build before you reinstall. In this instance you don't need to restore an older version of the database.

I appreciate the response. I believe I have the most recent, I downloaded earlier this month but I will check when I have a chance over the next couple days.

I was unaware of the issue with not being able to burn a full 80 minute CD, this may be the issue since I was trying around 70-75 minutes on the one I was attempting. I will try to keep you updated through the process as to what I find out when I have a chance to troubleshoot it myself.
