Mac/CD burning help

Darkangel

Hi guys, need your help again!

I want to create a music CD from some MP3s on my mac. I've tried dragging and dropping the tracks from itunes into the blank CD and burning it that way but I end up with a MP3 CD. I want to create a proper music CD that I can play on normal CD players.

Can anyone help? I've tried looking on the apple support website but it just tells me what CDs I can use and how to import music into itunes .

HELP!!! (thanks!)

I think players most cd players read .wav format type mp3 to wav on google. Have you tried using itunes to burn it? http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/Idocs/Itunes/burnCD.html

I have an old CD player and doesn't recognise MP3 hence wanting to burn a proper CD.

You will only be able to fit about 20 full length songs on if you burn it as a "proper cd"

I know. Do you know how to burn a proper music CD from a mac?

You can do it in Itunes.

Open itunes, go to preferences, advanced tab, burning. They are 3 radio buttons, to select Audio, Mp3 or Data CD.
Make sure Audio CD is selected.

To actually burn the CD: create a playlist, drag the songs into it. click burn.
