Burn audio CDs using iTunes for Windows

iTunes Version 10
Although audio CDs seem to be obsolete, there are some cases that CDs are still relevant. In this post, I will explain how to create an audio CD using iTune. Unfortunately, the procedure is not that intuitive which can be attributed to the fact that CDs are not being used anymore.
  1. Create a playlist as follows:
    1. From menu choose File>New Playlist. A new entry will be created under playlists (left pane).
    2. Name your new playlist; I’ll name it MyCD.
    3. On the left pane select Music under LIBRARY.
    4. Highlight the songs you’d like to burn to the CD (hold Ctrl + Click).
    5. Right click and select Add to playlist>MyCD. If you didn’t name the playlist MyCD which I’m sure you didn’t, replace MyCD with the name you chose for your playlist.
  2. Now that the playlist is ready we can easily burn it to CD by right-clicking on it and selecting Burn playlist to Disc.
  3. On Burn Setting windows, select Audio CD and click Burn. Obviously you need a blank CD in your driver.
I hope this post helps the few that proudly still use audio CDs.
