Some files can't burn to cd error

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with burning my playlist to an audio CD. I get the error "Some files can't be burned to cd" and that being the issue for just about every track. I'm doing this through an Apple Music subscription, could this possibly be because the song I want to burn aren't technically purchased? Attached is the message I'm getting from iTunes. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. This is a gift for someone, please help.

You got it. You can download Apple Music subscription tracks for offline listening, but they are DRM-protected and cannot be burned.
