You don't have to have existing songs in your iTunes music library to burn Audio CDs with iTunes. What you have to do is import songs from your favorite CDs into iTunes or download the songs from the iTunes store. Then you can easily burn audio CDs and have your favorite songs from different artists on one disc that you can later share with others or use during your next party.
Of course there is a limit to how many songs you can fit into your audio CD. If the amount of songs you selected to burn onto a CD is over the limit (whether megabyte wise or time wise) iTunes will let you know about it. If you get that message than what you have to do is decrease the number of songs you selected before and click Burn again. If you are not over the limit iTunes will burn those selected songs onto the CD. If you are still over the limit iTunes will notify you again and you will have to select even less songs than before and trying to burn the CD again. Unless you can figure out right from the start the total number of megabytes or gigabytes the songs add up to you or in some instances how much time they take up you may not be able to burn your songs onto the CD from the first attempt.
