Part 1. How To Burn Audible Book To CD With iTunes?

The process of burning Audible to CD could actually be done in two different procedures. The first one and the originally used method is through the help of iTunes. iTunes is the only application that was supported and authorized by Audible to do direct burning of audiobook files to CD. The second method, on the other hand, is through the help of a third-party tool. In this section, we will focus first on the set of steps to follow if you are to use the iTunes application in burning Audible to CD.

But before that, let me share some small details about burning audiobooks to CD. When you say burning Audible to CD through iTunes, it means that you are attempting to put all the stories and concepts inside a single disc. However, the rule in iTunes is that an audiobook could only be burned once. It is impossible to repeat the same procedure on the same audiobook file. Also, the length of the audiobook to burn must not exceed 80 minutes. If it has exceeded this total length, you might be required to get another CD or disc again to finally complete the process.

Below is the list of things that you should take note of and prepare for burning Audible to CD.

1. You should ready your iTunes application and your created Audible account that is supported by iTunes.
2. Make sure that your iTunes application is updated.
3. Remember that your computer must have a disc drive so that you can insert the CD into it.
4. Prepare all the audiobooks that you have purchased and downloaded.
5. Lastly and most importantly, a blank CD, Audio type and not an MP3 or DVD disc type.

If you already have these things ready, then let us now see the procedure that you must follow to burn Audible to CD.

• Open your downloaded and installed iTunes application.
• Among the tabs shown on the menu at the top, choose the File tab and then select the button of Audiobooks next.

• Upon clicking on Audiobooks, you will be displayed the titles that you have purchased and saved so far. Browse and choose the items that you will include in the burned CD.
• Once done, do a right-click on the Audiobook title that you have selected and then tap the “Add to Playlist” option from the pop-up menu displayed.
• Now, it is time to get the blank Audio CD that you have prepared a while ago. Insert it then into the CD drive of your computer and wait for a few seconds or minutes until it has been completely recognized by the device.
• Since you have created a new list of Audible books, do a right-click on this collection. This new playlist is usually located on the left part of the window. After doing so, among the options shown next, click “Burn Playlist to Disc”.
• Check all the details once again and the previously made steps. If everything is set, then tap the Burn button and start the process of burning Audible to CD.

These are the steps that you should take note of if you are to use the iTunes application instead. Sadly, it is not possible in iTunes to burn Audible to CD with separate chapters.
