Burning Playlist to CD
It has been a while but I never had an issue burning playlists to a CD before. Now the option is grayed out (even for those already done, so I know it's not a content issue). Ideas? Thanks!

Note that you cannot burn content that is in the cloud or comes via an Apple Music subscription.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. When reinstalling right click on the downloaded setup file and use run as administrator. It may also help to temporarily disable any non-Microsoft anti-virus.
Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, or want to revert to an older version if the current one won't work properly for you at the moment. Links to the most recent builds are now at the bottom of the page.
Your library and device backups should be unaffected by these steps but there are links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Try using the right-click menu on the playlist name in the sidebar instead of File > Burn Playlist to Disc.

Yep, Apple Music with DRM can only be played in iTunes or an iOS device. If you want to burn those tracks to disc you'll have to purchase them first.

OK, so are you trying to burn something that is in the cloud or comes from Apple Music? I seem to recall you can only burn the same playlist seven times, could that be a factor?

Thanks tt2. I appreciate the suggestion! But wasn’t an option there either.😕
Update: that does come up for the other playlists though ...
Oops, I replied to myself! Ugh. That option does come up for other playlists when I right click.
Well that explains it! And also very disappointing ... I really wanted to
make this playlist for my niece’s Graduation.
We have an Apple subscription
Back to the good ole days! Do I have to unenroll from the Apple Music subscription in order to purchase the songs?
Nope, just find and purchase them from the iTunes Store.
