What you are doing wrong depends on how you look at it. From my point
of view #1 is that you're paying a lot of money for very little in return.
#2 you didn't read the directions. #3 you haven't bought what you seem to
think you bought. Their site isn't very forthcoming with the bad news, but
instead of buying music you bought a limited license to music. It has DRM,
digital rights management that limits what you can do with it.

"What are CD burn rights? (back to top)
CD burning refers to the process of creating an audio CD from the downloaded
media file on your PC. Most of the music can be 'burned' to a CD. CD 'Burn'
allowances for each track are determined by the Rights Holders (Record
Labels). The media player uses the license associated with each track to
check that a particular track can be 'burned' to a CD.
How do I burn songs to a CD? (back to top)
First check that you have the correct CD writing hardware attached to your
computer. Also, check that you have the correct windows media player
'plug-in' for your CD drive. If you are not sure about this, refer the
'Portable Devices' section of the windows media player.
If you are using windows media player version 7 perform these steps:
Create a new playlist (from media library)
Add the required songs to this playlist
Use the 'Copy To CD' option from the File menu
Restrictions to number of plays (back to top)
For some downloads, the Rights Holder (Record Label) may have set up some
restrictions. Our product details page will tell you how many plays you are
allowed.
Restrictions to when licence will expire (back to top)
For some downloads, there will be a restriction to the number of days you
are allowed to listen to the track for, this will be explained on the
product display screens. After this date you will not be able to play the
track again. For other downloads there will be a particular cut off date
after which your download will not work."
After you figure out what "burn allowance" means I'd suggest that you
read that whole page until you understand it so you know what you actually
bought.
