Apple removed DRM from iTunes a long time ago. The biggest problem with making 
a CD these days is the iTunes stuff is compressed with MPEG4 and it has to be 
expanded from that format into the CD uncompressed format. This can create some 
less than desirable sound once in a while. I find Toast to be really good at 
this. You can drag the files straight from iTunes into Toast and it will 
decompress the MPEG4 files on the fly. (iTunes will do this too, but Toast 
seems less finicky and is better at putting in track information.)

When I make CDs to play in the car, I usually make MP3 CDs instead of standard 
music CDs because my car has an MP3 player and MP3 CDs contain many hours of 
sound versus only an hour on standard music CDs. Toast is really easy for this 
too and does the MPEG4 —> MP3 conversion automatically as it burns the CD.
