How come when I burn I Tunes CDs they work fine on my I Book...

But listening back in Media Player on my office PC the tracks are all silent?

I Tunes seems to encode music as I Tunes documents, not regular mp3s (with an I Tunes icon, not the Quicktime one you get with mp3s from the net)

Is there any way to burn an I Tunes mp3 CD that a PC can handle?

Thanks!! images/icons/grin.gif

are you trying to burn an MP3 CD? or a normal audio CD? iTunes of course can do either, or you can use Disc Burner or Toast.

It is a CD of mp3s - about 800 songs, each more or less 4 megs...

Macs love my mp3 CDs - PCs spit them out... WHY OH WHY???

Is there a way to make a CD of mp3 files in iTunes (an mp3 playlist) that a PC can handle? images/icons/confused.gif

First, you have to make sure the your PC can handle the special format used for MP3 CD's. Also, you have to make sure iTunes is burning them as that format, and not just HFS volumes.

There's no such thing as an "iTunes document". iTunes does not have a proprietary format.

I have to ask - why do you want to play mp3s in Media Player? It's crap in my opinion. You're much better off using the free app, Winamp on your PC. Although I HATE the strip-mall feel to the interface, it's better than WMP.

At any rate, I'm not sure what your problem is. Mp3 CDs created in iTunes work fine in WMP on my PC. What OS are you using on your PC? Using XP here.

About the iTunes icons. iTunes burns a run-of -the-mill Mp3 file. It's just that the file is associated with iTunes because it's the app that created it. If you were to use Audion, for example, it would have an Audion icon. The files you download have a QuickTime icon because your Mac doesn't recognize the creator but knows it's a multimedia file. QuickTime is Apple's default multimedia application.
