[Howto] burn an Audio CD with iTunes.
Someone smack me for not trying this earlier. In the past I have had to go through lengthy steps to make an audio cd to take with me in my car or play in my home.
- Find the .mp3’s in my music cache and put them in a separate folder.
- Use Cdex to decode the .mp3s back to .wav format.(Usually 15+minutes)
- Finally use Nero to organize and burn the cd.
I will now put alway all those tools for one.. iTunes
The Problem:
Find an easier way to create an Audio CD.
The Solution:
1. Crank up iTunes and insert a blank “CD-R” in your drive(If you don’t have iTunes get it here.
2. Click “File” | “Create new playlist”
3. Name your playlist and then start dragging songs to it.
4. Click “Burn Disk” in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
5. If you happened to grab more songs than will fit on a single disk don’t worry, iTunes asks you if you want to split the songs onto multiple disks.
6. Sit back and relax.

When I use Itunes to make a CD, there is always an audible “click-click” sound between the last track and first track on playback. I assume it is a cue mark to trigger the player to jump to the first cut. Does anyone else have this problem?

Perry,
I can’t say that I’ve ever heard that sound. I just tested a cd that I burned with iTunes using VLC Media player and I didn’t hear it. I will check it in my vehicle as well.
