How to Make Mix Tapes in iTunes

A mix tape is a mix of various songs saved on a CD. Traditionally mix tapes were actually cassette tapes, but they have evolved to CDs. The music on a mix tape can be from a variety of genres or multiple artists in a particular genre. Mix tapes are handy when you want to listen to a playlist of various artists, not just one artist. You can burn CDs on iTunes with about 15 to 20 songs per CD.
