Search iTunes help for topics like "Convert songs" or refer to this KBase article about how to do that. Note also that if you choose "MP3 CD" as the burn format iTunes will only burn songs on the playlist already in the MP3 format, so you will have to create an MP3 version of any songs not already in that format & make sure that version is the one in the playlist. Some don't play some MP3 encodings very well if at all, for instance VBR (variable bit rate) encoded files with certain (usually high) "quality" settings available in iTunes & other similar apps like Toast. Some, mostly older CD players won't play CD-RW (rewritable) discs or 700 mB (80 minute) CD-R discs, regarless of format. Some players have problems recognizing files with very long file names or unusual characters in the name.
#Convert audio cd to mp3 mac os x manual
It is a good idea to check the manual of your player (or perform tests) to see if there are any limitations on its ability to play MP3 format files.
However, virtually all DVD players, and many CD players of recent vintage, are able to play so-called MP3 CDs and they have the advantage of holding many more hours of music than an audio CD. You can go to iTunes > Help > iTunes Help > Organize your iTunes library > Burn discs > Create MP3 CDs for detailed instructions. If you burn it with iTunes, the correct settings will be chosen automatically. W/o going into tech stuff, such a CD should be written in the ISO 9660 file system (aka CDFS), rather than the Mac-native HFS+ file system. MP3 CD is not really a different format, but a data CD containing MP3 files. There is only one good reason to do it, and that is, if you want to play music you only have as MP3 files on a CD player which reads only CDDA (ie, audio CDs). Now, whether or not you will hear or notice that something is missing depends on many variables, not least of which are your own ears and musical education and training, as well as the type of music you are listening to. So the resulting audio CD offers no advantage whatsoever over the original MP3 files. 'Converting' MP3 to CDDA (audio CD) means decoding the MP3, without restoring the part lost during encoding. MP3 is a lossy compression format, ie, during encoding, part of the audio signal is discarded - for ever. The fact that you can doesn't mean that you should. Just one point (with apologies if you already know all about this). Is there a fairly simple way to convert mp3 to audio cd?
