HEY I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU CREATE AN MP3 FILE IT DUPLICATES IT HOW DO YOU TURN ALL THE LIBRARY IN TO MP3 WITH OUT DUPLICATING IT

[xxscreamxthenxfirexx]

so you need a truck to play these is what your saying? and thanks for letting us know you have a mac, because it looks like you were running windows. very deceiving.

[OeilPhotography]

Stupid question but do i need a CD-RW or DVD? first time burning mp3s :(

[erikanking]

hi there. I followed your instructions and it worked but how do I get multiple albums on 1 CD. After my first album, I tried to put another playlist on and it ejected the disc I used on the first album, instructing me to insert a blank one. Thanks!

[newdaydawnsong]

@erikanking -- You can't do that after a CD has been burned. If you want multiple albums on one CD, put them in the same playlist before you burn the CD. You can fit as many songs or albums as the CD will hold.

[goodboycito]

simple and to the point..thanks

[driky13]

brilliant

[riplayne99]

@slugger1714 Hold down command if you're on a mac, or ctrl if you're on a PC and click on the songs you want highlighted. If they're all in a list, you can hold shift and use the up and down arrows to select multiple songs.

[siejare]

why does the cd show error, when put into the car cd player.????????

USED ECAXTLY THE SAME METHOD. as the video

[riplayne99]

@siejare The car CD player might not support the mp3 format, bud.

[Pianoman077]

@siejare

i have the same problem

[USarmyB2]

so i have to convert each song seperatly when you can fit 150 songs on one disc that would take like an hour just to make one mp3 cd

[riplayne99]

@USarmyB2 No, I explain how to select songs in bulk so that you can convert them simultaneously.

[Nztraderjp]

Hey great video helped me a lot how ever is there any way to make a mp3 cd using itunes and have folders ?for example if i put 5 cds on 1 disc can they each have there own folder?

[riplayne99]

@Nztraderjp I'm not sure how you would go about that. It sounds more like a data CD.

[gooman989898]

excellent man, thanks so much

[280Challenger]

Thanks for the video. I have to say Im new to macs and a lot of stuff is great but I find stuff like this to be a huge pain. I record my church services every week and then make CDs to be mailed out to people who are old, sick etc. I assumed Garageband could easily make a recording, split it up into several tracks and then burn it as an MP3. Im finding I have to take the recording, spilt it up into the tracks I want, copy and past them into separate garage band projects, send them to Itunes

[280Challenger]

then convert them to MP3 (hopefully changing it to mp3 encoder will do this automatically next time) and then make a new playlist, burn playlist, delete playlist.... I thought macs were great for audio editing, I could do this on my PC in about 5 minutes now it takes forever.

Anyways, end of rant. Any tips? Maybe I should abandon garage band and download another music recording program.

[riplayne99]

@280Challenger I really dig GarageBand. I mean, the process never really bothered me. To be fair, I never had a job like yours. It gets the job done decently for being a standard/free piece of software.

[Tap2ZBar]

Thanks Dude :)

[technodrew]

@slugger1714 You can either hold Shift and use your arrow keys, or hold Command (on a Mac) or Control (on a pc) and click the songs you want

[technodrew]

By the way everyone, I am riplayne99. I'm using my new channel.

[lachapis4life]

question....would u happen to knw how to turn an mp3 cd to a regular wma cd????

[technodrew]

@lachapis4life You would have to rip the music into your computer, convert, and burn onto a new disc.

[MrLuisFelipeGuerrero]

thanks bro, Just a suggestion though. The volume is a bit low, but other than that. Thanks :)

[henrycitto1234]

thank you bro !!!

[theSTEEZburger]

is there an easy way to distinguish the different between the original track and the mp3 track in the itunes library? its a real pain having to shuffle through the duplicates...

[technodrew]

@theSTEEZburger From the menu, you can select "show duplicates." Then I would sort by "date added." That's your best shot at doing it quickly.

[jh364509]

hey my laptop wont let me burn the cd.. it just keeps spitting it back out. does this mean i just need to buy a certain type of cds in general? right now i have sony cd-r audio 80 min compact disk. ): Im so lost.

[riplayne99]

@jh364509 You might want to make sure that the disc is blank. Any type of cd-r should suffice.

[jh364509]

@riplayne99 hey its blank but for some reason it still wont work do you think maybe it just has to do with the type of cd?

[elporto]

Cheers for that. Also you said "I'll go ahead..." five billion times.

[riplayne99]

@elporto Haha I'm new to this bud.

[Repik8000]

@riplayne99 thanks so much for this tutorial i appreciate it. I liked and subscribed :)

Glad to help everybody.

[ballo8601]

thank you

[ffaaddii11998800]

thanks a lot dud my problem was not paying attention to my songs, i used to have problems with burning a CD some songs they did not copy to the disk because the wasn't mp3 format but now i know what do to convert those songs thanks again.....

[sugarpuffsandwich]

i've tried this about 10 times, and it keeps failing!!! arrgghhh!!!!

any idea what the problem is?

[technodrew]

How exactly is it failing? I made this video by the way. This is my old channel.

[sugarpuffsandwich]

it starts to burn the cd, copies all the songs, then suddently says "the attempt to burn the disk failed, unknown error occured"

[riplayne99]

@sugarpuffsandwich What is failing exactly?

[sugarpuffsandwich]

@riplayne99 no idea. thats just what it says. i dunno why its not completing what i tell it

[karuna2000]

Great!!!

[MZFiVETW000H]

Sweet ima deff try this thanks! how much is the most that you can fit on a cd?

[riplayne99]

I'm pretty sure you can get between 50 and 100 songs on it pal

[emily4634]

thank you!! very helpful!

[etewati]

i tried it but wen i try da play it on my dvd at home it does not work. Why? please help me.

[riplayne99]

Your DVD player most likely isn't compatible with MP3's. You might want to check the model and make sure.

[riplayne99]

If this happened due to the conversion of your entire library, do the following: Sort your music library by Date Added, scroll down until the last song prior to the first converted song is highlighted, the select that song and all the songs before it, and Delete.

[pitsburghpenguins]

Dude were does it say sort of date ...

[riplayne99]

Lol. Notice the first song in the list, right above it should be a bar containing the lists "Name, Artist, Album, etc." Search for "Date Added" and click it.

[luvleelocs22]

I checked and Most of my Songs are in Mp3 already in my itunes folder once I checked I had tons of doubles and theyre all the same ?

[riplayne99]

Here are some keyboard tricks:

Hold down Command (if you're on a Mac) or Ctrl (If you're on a PC) and individually select all the songs you want converted. OR for songs in a list, hold Shift and use your Up/Down key to highlight. OR use Command/Ctrl-A to select everything. Just secondary click and convert!

[kokioseven]

so i copy some new songs to itunes and I check the format they come already converted as MPEG wich is an mp3 right if so thankx a lot for the video... U rock DUDE Thankx Again

[kokioseven]

hey do i have to convert the songs one by one???????

[dominickd16]

nice deadmau5

[haggistheman1525]

Since you can put more .mp3 files on a cd, can you put more songs on an iPod if they are all in .mp3 format?

[riplayne99]

It's not necessarily the file that is compressed. The mp3 burner has a different way of writing the data on the CD than other audio files. So I don't think iPod memory space would be affected by the file type.

[ludajohn317]

Glad u explained the AAC part, bc thats what I needed!

[riplayne99]

Yes, an iPod is essentially an mp3 player. As far as the order goes, the songs will burn in whatever sorting the playlist is in. For example by artist, song name, or album. You can change the sorting by clicking on the column heading in the playlist.

[mannyichi]

Thank you this video helped alot!!!^_^

[lmlSickestKids]

i have a macbook, and i did everything you said to do.

and, at the end it said it had finished it completely, which is good because before it would say there was a 'writer error'. But, when i put the CD in a cd player or tv, it doesn't work..

what happend?

[riplayne99]

Remember, whatever player you're on must also play mp3's. A lot of people get this weird idea about cd players and dvd players being like iPods, but all mp3 is, is an audio file.

[klein427]

thanks a lot for the helpful info....

[thammavong]

Thanks now I don't have to use nero!

[perrlock]

thanks alot I didnt know making a mp3 cd was so simple

[riplayne99]

Not a problem.
