Using apple balance to gift music.

I'd like to use my Apple balance to gift an album, but don't know how. iTunes defaulted to my credit card, and when I canceled my purchase and removed my CC info it did not use my Apple balance but is requiring another payment method. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

You can't. Apple doesn't allow that.
