Burning Playlists to CD on MacBook

I subscribe to Apple Music. I make playlists and sometimes like to burn a playlist to a CD. When I do so, I purshase all of the songs on iTunes. But I often get messages saying that I cannot burn all of the songs becasue some of them are Apple Music songs. Why doesn't Apple Music know that I purchased the songs? It seems that the songs need to be downloaded in order to burn them to a CD. I think that I am doing that too. 17 of 20 songs will burn, 3 will not. All have been purchased. Any suggestions?

Migeriley,

Even if you purchased that exact song, it may have gotten substituted by an Apple Music subscription copy, which is not eligible to burn. Look at the "Kind" for each track in the playlist, and make sure it is the purchased (or other non-protected) copy.
