Unable to burn CD playlist from Music (songs were purchased via iTunes back in 2010)

Back when iPods were in vogue, I paid for hundreds of songs in iTunes...I would like to burn to CD to listen in car. Now iTunes only supports audiobooks and podcasts. I am able to access my paid songs via Apple Music. I have created a playlist, yet the option to burn a CD is not there. I do see that option in iTunes though....is there any way that I could have iTunes access my library to burn a CD? Or, do I need to take an old iPhone and load it with just the songs I have paid for? Any constructive suggestions ?

Hi,

If any of Apple Music, Apple TV or Apple Devices are installed then iTunes is only able to display and manage audiobooks and podcasts. Apple Music for windows does not have the ability to burn CDs.

I suggest that you delete the Apple apps and revert to iTunes

For the Windows version of Apple Music you can't burn music to CDs. You'd have uninstall Apple Music (along with TV and/or Devices if you installed those), and iTunes will go back to having the music in there.

This is one of the few dozen features missing in the Windows version that exist in either iTunes or Apple Music on Mac.
