converting mp4 to mp3 for burning to CD

+I can only burn an Mp3 CD if the songs are already in an Mp3 format.+

That is correct.

+The problem is that my play list is all in Mp4 format. How can I convert my whole play list to Mp3's so I can make a CD?+

I assume you mean .m4p, i.e. Protected AAC? If you make an audio CD, you do not have to convert first. Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Burning and set to audio CD.

If you want to make an mp3 CD (to put a lot of songs on one CD, as opposed to a 'regular' CD), then you have to convert your AAC files to mp3 format first, then burn as mp3 CD.

To convert your AAC files, if they are not protected you can simply change your import preferences to mp3 and then right-click on one or more songs and select "Convert to mp3...". The downside is that iTunes will create duplicates (the original AAC and mp3), and you'll lose some fidelity in transcoding like this.

If your AAC files are protected, then we're not allowed to help you get around the DRM on these boards.
