Makes absolutely no sense, Kyle. If you imported with I tunes using AAC you certainly can burn them onto CD, I do it all the time. Does it have to be an MP3 CD?? If you imported using AAC that IS a form of MP3 called an M4A which stores files similarly to an MP3, so why on earth would you want an MP3 CD when you already can burn an M4A straight off the I tunes? Any files on I tunes burn directly without file conversion, especially if you used AAC!! You can change the way you import however. If, when you upload the CD, and want to import as an MP3, I tunes allows you to do that, or use WAV or AIFF etc.. The (AAC) file is like an MP3 called M4A on MAC. It burns directly onto CD, and for the life of me, I cannot tell one little bit of difference between the sound of those files and a full WAV file, the technology is that good. Another option which works instantaneously, is to convert what you want to burn to WAV. Go to the ADVANCED setting on your I tunes, after highlighting the tune, and hit the "Convert to WAV" choice. Presto, it's now a WAV file and that will certainly burn to CD. But it makes no sense to convert your AAC ie M4A files to MP3, because M4A's burn directly and are playable anywhere (it's like the perfect MP3 type file). If you cannot do this on your computer, there is either something wrong with the way your Itunes was set up in the first place or something amiss with your computer.

What platform are you using? Maybe that's the problem. I use a Power MAC G5 but I know I tunes works with Windows also.

I'd suggest doing the following. Open I tunes. Go to Preferences tab. Then select Importing. Then there are choices: Import Using AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3 or WAV. Whichever you pick is the way the file you import will be stored. But...those are all directly burnable to CD, so I still don't understand why your I tunes is not allowing you to do that???!!! Ask, Dan...he might know.
