Besides playing music on the iTunes program, anyone can make his very own collection of CDs using Apple's simple method. Follow these steps on how to create a CD using iTunes.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Blank CD-R disc
  • iTunes
  • Computer
  1. Step 1

    Open up the "iTunes" application on your computer system. On the left side of the screen, double-click on "Playlist." Note: If you have not set up a playlist yet, just go to "File," click on the words "New Playlist," and you will see a blank box that says, "Untitled Playlist." Afterward, you can create a name for your playlist and also drag and drop the songs into the new playlist using your mouse.

  2. Step 2

    Next find a blank CD-R to put in the CD drive, go to "File," then select "Burn CD Into Playlist." It may take a few moments for the disc to be read--you will notice it when it says, "Checking Playlist." Depending on how many songs are on the CD, it may take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes for audio songs to be copied onto the disc.

  3. Step 3

    After the process is completed, your songs are now in CD format, and you will be able to play them on a CD player.

Tips & Warnings
  • Your CD can hold up to 20 songs at a time on each disc.
  • You can choose the disc format you wish to burn in by going to "Edit," "Preferences," "Advanced," then selecting "Burning."
