Hey there 9373_dg!
Sadly, as Apple Music is a paid streaming service, you do not own copies of the music you listen to. Apple Music streams it to your device, and you pay for the service. However, as you don't explicitly own the music, you cannot burn it onto a CD.
Apple Music is not to be mistaken with the iTunes Store, which allows you to purchase your own copies of music and theoretically burn it to a CD. Think of Apple Music as a streaming service, and iTunes as a store for purchasing music.
I recommend purchasing the songs from iTunes, creating a playlist, and then burning that to a CD.
Sorry about that.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
You can’t burn Apple Music to a CD. You can, of course, buy the tracks from iTunes Store.
