Help - trying to copy onto CD from Itunes

I have bought a song from Itunes and downloaded it and it plays fine. I would like to put this on a CD but I am struggling (I'm pulling my hair out!!). It's saved it as a MPEG4 and I believe I need to change it to MP3 so that I can burn it to disc? Is this the case and if so how do I this?! Hopefully this will make sense to someone :(

    Why are you giving a link to something on your own computer?

    create a new playlist (in itunes) > put all the songs that you want to burn to a cd in the playlist > click the playlist and in the bottom right corner, you should see a 'burn cd' button > click it and insert a blank cd.

    No you don't. But you may want to because it depends on what you want to use the CD for. If you plan on using it elsewhere then it depends on the compatibility of the thing you're playing it on.

    Thanks everyone. After lots of swearing at the computer I gave up and have asked my sister to sort it out for me as she managed to copy the song for my wedding. She thinks it may be my CD's that I am using.
