Can you burn songs from YouTube Music to a CD? Unfortunately, songs downloaded from YouTube Music come with digital rights management (DRM) protection, allowing you to stream its media content within YouTube's official platform or authorized devices only.

The steps of how to burn music from YouTube to a CD on Windows and Mac are easy. But sometimes you may still encounter some problems with burning YouTube Music Songs to CD. Following are the FAQs which should be helpful for you.

Q1. Is It Illegal to burn music from YouTube to a CD?

It depends on your purpose. It would be totally legal if you only do it for personal use. But pay attention that if you burn music from YouTube to a CD for any commercial activities without getting permission from the authors of the songs, you will be warned and this can be an illegal action.

Q2. Is there a limit for songs you can burn onto a CD?

How many songs you can put on a disc varies and depends on several factors. The main ones are:

• Average length of the songs: The longer a song is, the more memory it takes up, and the number of songs you can store will be much smaller.
• Average bitrate: Some songs in your music library may be encoded at a high bitrate. This makes the files larger, so they take up more room on an audio CD.
• Audio format: If you burn uncompressed songs like MP3, AAC, and WMA, you can store around 80 minutes of music on an audio CD. Songs encoded in a lossless format such as FLAC or ALAC take up more storage space than ones that have been encoded in a lossy format.
