Problem with itunes

[Lisa]

I posted in the music forum and got no response to my specific question so
I'm going to try this one. I installed itunes and I am not able to burn
CDs. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps to no avail. I tried and
repair on itunes and then I uninstalled and reinstalled the program. My PC
freezes when I hit burn. I've also tried running the CD diagnotics in itunes
and my PC freezes. I've given up on itunes however, I've been charged for a
downloaded album that I purchased as a gift for someone else.It doesn me no
good if I cannot burn the files to a Cd. The files are AAC and aren't
recognized by WMP. I found a converter called Blaze Media Pro which allows
for conversion. My question is what is the best format to convert to ( i.e.,
WAV, WMA, MP3 or OGG) AND what frequency and bitrate should I choose? Thanks
so much to anyone who can provide some help. I have emailed itunes twice and
received no response. Thanks!

Wav files are lossless format (Uncompressed), but very large. An average
song (3:45) can be as large as 50-60 Megabytes. Personally, I use .Wma
@ 128 KBit Sampling Rate/44 KHz Audio. However, I don't believe that
iPods can play back Windows Media Format. I suppose the most common
format is Mp3. There are lots of web sites that have details and information
on Music Ripping and destination formats. You can use some of the higher
sample rates, but again it raises the file size.

Ask elsewhere. Your problem has nothing to do with the XP OS.
