iTunes: "None of the items in this playlist can be burned to CD" Alert

Symptom

When you try to burn a CD from a playlist that includes AIFF, Audible.com files, or an audio stream, an alert box with this message appears:

"None of the items in this playlist can be burned to CD."

Solution

AIFF or Audible files cannot be burned to CD as MP3 files. You must burn them as AIFF or as Audio CDs. To choose Audio CD as the format for burning:

1. Choose Preferences from the iTunes menu for Mac or the Edit menu for Windows.
   
2. Click Advanced.
3. Click Burning in the toolbar.
   
4. Click "Audio CD" to enable that option.
   Audio streams (including radio stations in iTunes) cannot be recorded and cannot be burned to any type of disc.
