Click on the "Burn CD" button at the top of the interface. ITunes automatically starts the burn process. Once it finishes, a small window or bubble appears on the screen and reads "Finalizing CD" or "Closing Session," depending on your operating system. Do not eject the CD until this finishes or the CD won't work in other machines.
