How to Make an MP3 CD on iTunes

Making an MP3 CD on iTunes is useful for when you do not have an MP3 player but still would like to take your MP3s with you on the road. Since MP3 CDs are limited only by the data capacity of a CD-R (typically 700 megabytes), they can hold many more songs than an audio CD, which is limited by the maximum length of a CD (typically 80 minutes).
