Why can't I burn playlist onto a cd

So you’re telling me on top of paying monthly for Apple Music I also have to pay for each song separately if I would like to burn it on a cd?

Hi,

You don't own music that you download from Apple Music. You only have access to this as long as you have an active subscription. If you want to burn to a cd you need to purchase the music from the iTunes Store.

If you purchase the songs, you can burn a disc. I did it last week when I purchased an album from iTunes. You used to be able to do it right from the purchased album after it was downloaded, but now it seems you have to make a playlist for the album drag each song over and then burn the playlist.

Here's a link to Apple's page on burning cds:

iTunes for Mac: Create your own CDs and DVDs

I purchased a album and it shows in my purchases, however I still can't burn it onto a CD. What would cause that?

Thanks

Hi,

You can't burn music downloaded from Apple Music because of copy protection.

Hi,

Yes, you can burn purchased tracks to CD but you can't burn music downloaded from Apple Music.
