what settings re burn music to cd

Have download a cd to iTunes and now would like to burn it to a CD


I recently did it with max but does not sound correct - maybe CD player I don't know?


The Apple Super drive - Preferred speed 1 x to max - what is the recommended


What does sound check mean ? should I tick it


Thanks for advice

Try something 8x speed first, then slower if you're still not happy with the results. Sound check is supposed to try to make sure that all tracks have the same apparent loudness. You probably don't need to use it.


Try right-click > Burn Playlist to Disc from the playlist name in the sidebar over File > Burn Playlist to Disc. The file menu method seems to have been broken for some time. Might pay to test with some erasable discs first. Note you cannot burn content that is in the cloud or comes via an Apple Music subscription.
