Downgrading iTunes to burn playlists on PC

The latest version I have of iTunes now stops me from burning a playlist. Can I go back to an older version of iTunes that will let me do this function. If so, what version do I go to and how to install it on my PC

Do you have a Playlist opened from the side bar?


Select the Playlist so it's opened and showing on the right side, and it should enable the option in the File Menu.


If you click on a song in the Songs view instead of in the Playlist, the option to Burn Playlist will be grayed out.

What happens when you try to burn a playlist exactly?


The current version of iTunes still supports burning playlists just fine to a CD if that's what you mean.


While the Apple Music app on Windows cannot burn CDs, you can return to iTunes simply by uninstalling Apple Music and any other Apple TV (TV or Devices) you may have installed and opening iTunes again if still installed.

Be careful. They had me get Apple Music app for pc. When you do that, the music in iTunes is gone-- it's all in Apple Music. And you can't go back to iTunes. The format is different in Apple Music and just not as easy as iTunes. I'm sure it was designed by someone who NEVER used iTunes.


You can uninstall Apple Music, Apple Devices, and Apple TV, which will restore iTunes to full functionality.
