What format does iTunes burn Audio CDs?
MP3 CD
To burn an MP3 CD, all the songs on it must be in MP3 format. If your playlist includes songs in other formats, such as songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you need to convert them to MP3 format before you can burn them on a CD.
Why can’t I import a CD into iTunes?

What is the best format for burning audio CDs?

When creating an audio CD the best source format to use is a WAV file (MP3s are always compressed from CD audio quality to some extent). Converting a 44.1 kHz WAV file to CDA introduces no noise, distortion or coloration to the sound.
Why does iTunes open automatically when a CD is inserted?

What to do when iTunes does not recognize a CD?
If iTunes now recognizes the CD, delete the iTunes shortcut and create a new one. If error correction is turned on, it can take longer to import CDs. Choose Edit > Preferences, and click Import Settings. If the “Use error correction when reading Audio CDs” checkbox is not selected, select it.
