For the past couple of weeks, iTunes and I have not been seeing eye to eye….yeah…. I’ve hugged, kissed, and sweet talked, so to speak, but the b**** just wouldn’t burn any of my playlists! First I’d get an error dialog that said the playlist was too long no matter how many songs were in the list and then if I click the audio cd button on that dialog to span multiple CDs, it would say that it couldn’t burn any of the songs on the list.
To make a long and frustrating story short, it was the IDE drivers. I’d changed to an Nvidia nForce 2 based motherboard, but had not installed the motherboard drivers. Why? Because the first time I tried this from the enclosed CD, it froze up the system. Everything else worked fine with the stock Windows XP SP2 drivers. So I wasn’t in a rush to check for newer drivers since I didn’t need the onboard audio and ethernet anyway. After trying everything else to solve the problem, I downloaded the nForce 2 drivers from Mach Speed’s web site, held my breath and installed them (after creating a restore point of course).
Now iTunes is happy again, and so am I! 🙂
