I want to create an MP3-CD?

Question

itunes says that i cant put the songs i bought from itunes onto the mp3-cd b/c it is in AAC format and could not copy it as mp3 format. i did the whole EDIT>PREFERENCES>CD BURNING>MP3 *okay* bit BUT IT STILL WOULD not let me create an MP3-CD with songs off itunes. WHAT DO I DO? Will Rhapsody or another music provider let me? What am I doing wrong? HELP!

hi Jmike! good news and bad news - first the bad - you cannot create an MP3 CD for songs purchased on itunes: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93071

now the good news - you can create an "audio cd" of the songs you purchased on itunes! try this:

1. Open iTunes - then choose Edit > Preferences, click Advanced, and click Burning.
2. Select Audio CD as the Disc Format.
3. To have all the songs on the CD play at the same volume, select Use Sound Check.
4. Click OK.
5. Select the playlist containing the songs you want to burn to the CD, and make sure all the songs you want to include on the CD have a checkmark beside them.
6. Click Burn Disc (at the bottom of the iTunes window) and insert a blank disk.

here are the instructions from the apple website: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.0/en/540win.html
