[QUOTE="jimshaw, post: 1770072, member: 365378"] I no longer can burn music from my iTunes library to a disc that can be played in an ordinary stereo-system CD player. What happens is, from my iTunes library I select files that are shown to be AIFF format, but when the disc is burned the files wind up as AIFF-C files, which can be played on my Mac, but not in a “regular” CD player. I have spoiled a dozen CDs this way. Prior to this I made many playable CDs, but something seems to have gone wrong, perhaps during one of the upgrades to OSX or ITunes, or perhaps in the settings I’ve selected. I’ve tried recording with the Finder’s burn function, Toast Titanium 8 (a really crappy program) and Audacity (an excellent free program), and results are always the same: AIFF-C files. One of the problems is that iTunes doesn’t differentiate between AIFF and AIFF-C in labeling files in my Songs list; all are shown just as AIFF. But when they’re burned to a disc they come out as AIFF-C. If fixing this problem would mean reverting to an earlier version of iTunes I wouldn’t mind doing that, but is it even possible? How could I get an earlier version? The Burn settings options in iTunes are: Audio CD, mp3 and Data CD/DVD. I select Audio CD. The Import encoder settings are: AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3 and WAV. I select Early 2009 Mac Mini with SuperDrive / OSX El Capitan / iTunes Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I would appreciate some help. [/QUOTE]
