[iTunes] converting .aiff files to .mp3

[benaccetto at mac.com]

Is it possible that they changed the procedure for recording the CD  
during the service?

The only way to figure this out is to know what the original  
recording device is and how the CD gets burned. It is possible that  
whatever the device is that is burning the CD is not burning the  
correct format. If it is an all-in-one unit, it has to close out the  
process so that the CD is playable.

The other issue may be the media. Have they changed to different  
media, perhaps higher speed media? Are they using CD-RW's? Assuming  
that all recordable CD media is the same is a big mistake. Also the  
wavelengths of light for DVD and the various CD formats are not the  
same, although this seems unlikely if it worked before for you.
