If you’re wondering how to burn your Apple Music tracks to a CD, here’s some detailed information to help you out. Both Apple iTunes and Apple Music allow users to create CDs or DVDs on Mac or Windows computers, but there are certain restrictions in place. To begin, you need to be an Apple Music subscriber. If your playlist contains iTunes Store purchases and all the items are iTunes Plus songs, you can burn them to a disc without limitation. However, if the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store are not in MP3 format and you wish to create an MP3 CD, you’ll first need to convert them to MP3 format before proceeding.

For a hassle-free experience, using a third-party tool can make the process much simpler. Tools like Tidabie Music Go allow you to convert Apple Music songs into local files in plain formats, which can then be burned onto a CD with just a few clicks. By using these steps and tools, you can easily transfer your favorite Apple Music tracks to CDs for personal use.

Part 1. Burn Apple Music Songs to a CD Using the Music App (iTunes Store purchases Only)

Supported Disc Types:

Audio CDs: Playable on any standard CD player.

MP3 CDs: Playable on MP3-compatible CD players or your computer. Note: All songs must be in MP3 format. Songs in other formats (e.g., iTunes Store purchases) need to be converted to MP3 before burning.

Data CDs and DVDs: Useful for storing and transferring files.

Steps to Burn Songs to a CD:

STEP 1 Open the Music App on your Mac.

STEP 2 Create a playlist with the songs or files you’d like to burn.

STEP 3 Set the view to View > as Songs and ensure all desired items have a checkmark next to them. If checkmarks aren’t visible, go to Music > Preferences, click General, and enable “Songs list checkboxes.”

STEP 4 Insert a blank disc into your computer.

STEP 5 Select your playlist and click File > Burn Playlist to disc.

Note: If this option isn’t available, the playlist may include items with usage restrictions or unplayable content. Generally speaking, you can only burn iTunes Store purchases into a CD by this method.
