Latest Version of iTunes-Burn Audio CD

Can somebody explain to me how to set iTunes so it will burn a CD that will work in a CD player for a friend? All of the other information that explains how to do it are for older versions of the program.
For example, How can I burn my iTunes music to CDs so that they will play in my CD player?

Thanks,
Andrew

It is 10.6.1

Burn the CD as an audio CD not mp3, then it will likely play in any CD player including one in an auto. However, nowadays most autos built in the last 5 years or so are equipped with CD players that can play mp3s.

Thanks for the reply!
Can you show me how to do this?
I have never really used iTunes before as this is my first Mac

Rather than post a step by step, I'll refer you instead to the following Apple KB "how to" article: LINK

Ok, thanks for being patient. Here is the screen from the help page that displays the simple "burn" menu that will solve my problem.



On my 10.6.1, this is all I have show up. No "burn" option



The only "burn" thingy I see is this on finder.



Finally, this other help page for 10.6.1 says something about "Select Audio CD as the Disc Format." huh???

In iTunes, make sure you have created a playlist containing the songs in it you want on the CD. Make sure that the total time-including transition time- doesn't exceed that available on the CD (typically 70 minutes, IIRC).

Using your mouse/trackpad, hold down the control key while clicking on the playlist. From the pop-up menu that is revealed, select "burn playlist to disc". Once selected, a pop-up window will appear giving you the options to burn to Audio disc, burn to MP3 disc or burn to Data. Select "Burn to Audio CD".

Make sure you have a compatible disc in the drive and you should be good to go.

Thanks!
