Step 3. Then, drag and drop the song you wish to burn from Library to the playlist you create. Or you can place your mouse cursor to the music and click the three dots next to the song, and choose "Add to Playlist," then select "New Playlist" (the name of your new playlist).

Step 3. Insert a CD into your computer. Place your mouse cursor to the playlist you create and right-click it, choose "Burn Playlist to Disc."
