I'm having trouble burning an audio CD of music that I purchased from the itunes store. When I attempt to burn the playlist, a message pops up stating that the files cannot be burned to audio CD because "Only files on my computer's hard drive can be burned to an audio CD." I recently converted to a mac mini. I never had this problem on my HP laptop. This is my first attempt at burning CDs off the Mac Mini and the external Apple CD drive.
Mac mini, iOS 6.0.1
I was just attempting to "burn" a playlist of songs for an upcoming wedding reception onto a blank compact disc. For some reason I received an error message saying that a few of the songs were not able to be "burned" onto discs even though I know I have never had any problem doing this in the past. That made a disc "burn" that left a few songs off and now does not match my intended playlist. Why would it do that and how can I prevent that from happening? THANKS in advance for any help you can provide!
Did you attempt to include any Apple Music items? Do all of the tracks in the list play in iTunes? Are they all downloaded to the computer and not in the cloud? Is the total playing time of your playlist within the recording length of the CD? (Typically 74 or 80 mins.)

I have a mini using an external optical drive, and I just burned a couple of audio CDs yesterday, so it will work. My first question would be (on account of the error message) if you Get Info on the songs (left click on the name of the song, then select Get Info from the drop down menu), under the Summary tab, where does it say the songs are located?

Apparently they are located in my cloud
I have no familiarity with the Cloud, but one way to download previous purchases is to go to the iTunes Store and select Purchased from the Quick Links section.
Good luck
