We’ve looked at a lot of iTunes features so far, and this one seems obvious: you can use iTunes to burn CDs, thus copying audio files to disc. But CDs are slowly going the way of the floppy disk, and fewer people use them for music these days. You may still want to burn CDs, however, to use in a car that doesn’t have a way for you to connect an iOS device. It’s simple to do this with iTunes, so read on and find out how.
How Do I Burn CDs of My Music?
This is easy:
Music purchased from the iTunes Store back when there was DRM can be burned from a single playlist only seven times. If you want to burn it more times, you need to delete the playlist and recreate it.
Also, iTunes won’t burn MP3 CDs of music with DRM, including music you’ve added to your library from Apple Music.
If you have iTunes Plus music—without DRM—or music that you’ve ripped from CDs or purchased from other vendors, these limitations don’t apply.
Not with iTunes. And not with any content you’ve bought from the iTunes Store no matter what software you use. It’s too bad, because, personally, I won’t buy videos from the iTunes Store for that very reason. If I plan to buy a TV series, for instance, and can’t put it on DVD, that means I’m tied to my computer, Apple TV, or iOS for playback.
