I wish it was all that obvious.  First, I have the latest version of iTunes 
and after you click burn, it asks you to choose MP3, or Audio CD or data CD. 
I'm choosing MP3 because my car disc player says it will play MP3 CD's. 
Just trying to get more music on the disc.
I just tried burning 253.6 MB and iTunes says it won't fit on one disc.  I 
don't know why I can't get, say, around 675 MB on one disc.  The only thing 
I wonder is if all the tunes on the playlist are in different formats.  I 
can't find the menu item you speak of that converts from aiff or other 
formats.
