How to Burn CDs With iTunes

Music lovers will enjoy creating audio CDs from music in their iTunes library. Read on to learn more about making your own music CDs.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Start iTunes.
2. Create a "Playlist" with the songs you want to burn to a CD.
3. Click one time on the "Playlist."
   
4. Songs will burn in the order they appear in the Playlist. You can rearrange song order by clicking on the title and dragging them up or down.
   
5. Click the "Burn Disc" button at the bottom right of the screen.
6. Insert a blank CD into your CD-RW drive. It will start creating the CD for you.

Tips & Warnings

• If you have a lot of songs in a Playlist, you will need multiple CDs. If this is the case, you will receive a message before burning starts indicating that you will need more than one CD.
• If you only want to burn one CD but have too many songs, you can stop the burning process by clicking the "X" in the top window. You can also delete songs from your Playlist until they will fit on one CD. One CD holds approximately 20 songs.
• Depending on your computer settings, you might get a "CD Burning" dialog box in step six above. Generally, the default settings will work. You want an audio CD as type.
• It will take several minutes to burn an audio CD. You can cancel the burn at any time by clicking the "X" next to the progress bar in the top window. However, if you are using a CD-R disc, it will become unusable. (CD-RW discs can be used again.)
• If the songs you are burning were purchased from the iTunes Store, you can burn them up to seven times. After that, you can only play them from your computer.
