Burning CD's from music in Apple Music

Now that Apple has all but abandoned iTunes on the PC, how does one burn a CD using Apple Music? Apparently they don't support this natively, so any help on an alternative would be helpful. I have old music that I bought via iTunes that I'd like to burn to a CD in order to play in an older car that doesn't have Bluetooth or any kind of input jack.

You can revert to iTunes. It's not yet abandoned and still works.


You will need to remove the Music App and any other Apple App (TV, Devices) you may have installed to return iTunes to full functionality.

Download iTunes for Windows now (64-bit)


Outside of that, you can use Windows Media Player to burn audio CDs, but you will have to import the music into Media Player first.

Thank you, Phil0124! I will try it out this weekend to remove the music and tv app. Apple music app no longer has the same functions that iTunes had (like converting to mp3, burning a cd, etc.) Did they release a comparison of iTunes vs these other apps? Meaning what you can / can't do? That along with a warning would have been helpful. It is very disjointed to have an app for music, an app for tv/movies and now 'old' itunes for podcasts and audio books...everything was consolidated in one app of iTunes.
