Problem with burning an audio CD from Itunes. Please help!

[taurbull]

I am having problems trying to burn an audio CD from Itunes that I can play on my CD player. Every time I put a cd in to record I click on audio CD, and choose X24 as my recording speed (whish has worked ok for me before).

The problem is that this has only just started to happen, and my disc either gets recorded in Mp3 format (which I don't want), or I get numerous 'error' messages appearing, these consists of 'error message 4000' or similar.

I also get 'cancelling burn' messages, and sometimes it just spits the CD out as well! This can't all be down to a duff disc, so it must be to do with my settings somewhere.

Of course, this also ruins my blank cds, and I have gone through a few already that have been ruined which is really annoying.

I don't know what has happened here as I am not aware that I have purposely changed anything in Itunes.

I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me with this matter please, as I don't want to waste any more discs.

Thanks.
