Burning CDs Using iTunes

Either I'm brain-damaged or I'm missing something.

I know my burner works as I burn data CDs all the time, but for some reason I can't get a CD to burn through iTunes. It keeps telling me that the disk is not blank when I know damn right well that it is.

I've tried the CDs right from the stack (Fujifilm CD-R) and I've tried formatting the disk beforehand. Same shit.

I've looked at all of the settings, both for the burner and within iTunes, and I don't see anything that should prevent the burn.

What the fuck people?
HELP!

Thanks.

mac or pc? i had a similar (but not the same) problem on pc recently. the problem was daemon tools interference and it was fixed with some patch...

anyway, if you are on pc and have daemon tools installed, you should install this as well:

SPTD v1.50 X86

Oh, shit, sorry.

PC running XP home SP2.
Latest iTunes ... just updated Wednesday or something.

No daemon tools.

if you have any other virtual drive action going on, i would look into that.

Nope.
Thanks, though.

Have you tried with a different set of AAC/MP3 files? I've heard of corrupted MP3s doing weird things with iTunes' burning software.

Have you ever been able to burn a music CD with your computer? I wonder if iTunes is the problem, or if it's a hardware issue.

And yes, I read where you're able to burn data discs, but some burners are pretty finicky.

Well, that was weird.

Based upon the combined advice from the two guys above me, I converted two of the iTunes files to AAC, accessed them through Windows Media Player, and they burned just dandy.

I then went back into iTunes and tried again to burn the entire playlist to CD.
Guess what? It worked.

Computers are strange.

Thanks, guys.

Hey, not a problem. That's why guys like me have a job.

That'll be sixty dollars, please.

The check's in the mail.

That's pretty much what fixed the issue I'd read about. Conversion to/from/back to a file format and it burned fine.
