Burning CD-Rs from iTunes and Apple Lossless Files


I have recently started to use iTunes with the Apple Lossless compression scheme as recommended by some of you.

In general, I think its great, and find it very listenable, a cinch to use on my iPods etc.

I am curious, however, about what happens to these files when burning it back onto a CD-R, to make a compilation for the car stereo, for example.

I was very excited to easily cut, paste and rip compilation CDs from my library in Itunes, but the first one I tried in the car seemed to take about 150 years for the player to read the disc.

In the end, the disc seemed to play just fine, but it took a while and would also pause again every time I changed tracks.

Made my SCD-1 seem lightning quick by comparison?!

Could this be related to using the Apple lossless files as my archive?

I too experienced problems with anything other than WAV files when using Verbatim cd-rs. Once I switched to WAV, I've had no problems of any sort. My Cambridge Azur 640c would not read AIFF or Apple Lossless at all on Verbatim cd's, but would read AIFF burns on other brands. Will
