Music - no burning to CD?

Can't believe that even after taking up Apple Music subscription, that I can't then burn music to CD (for instance for playing in a car CD player). Used to be able to buy albums, make them a playlist and then burn playlist to CD. Not able to do this any more? This is a disaster for me!

There's a follow up to this. You can subscribe to Music, and you can 'purchase' music. But its pointless to purchase it (for me at least) because there is no option to make a playlist from the purchased music from which you can then burn to CD. In fact, Music has so many glitches coming from the old iTunes that it kept crashing, just from me trying to get it to make a playlist so that I can burn a CD. Just what is the point of purchasing music from Music?
