I chose to bounce a project to PCM(wav file) and MP3. Logic allows you to do both and gives you the option to auto export the bounce into itunes. Which I did.

Is the bounced song on my itunes an Mp3 song or the PCM version? The reason I ask is that I want to burn the PCM version to audio CD and not the lossy mp3. My question goes to "what" am I burning to Audio cd in itunes?

I can find the stand alone PCM/wav file in my "bounces" folder. But nothing comes up in logic that allows me to "burn to CD" from the bounces folder. Thanks
 
The file type you have in iTunes depends on where you clicked "Add to iTunes Library." If you clicked "Add to iTunes Library" in the PCM file settings box, then you will get a WAV in iTunes. On the other hand, if you clicked "Add to iTunes Library" in the MP3 file settings box, then you will get an MP3 in iTunes. What I mean when I say "file settings box" is the area to the right of the "Destination" box that changes based on which file format you have selected.

To find out what file format you sent to iTunes:
1. Open iTunes.
2. Locate the bounced file.
3. Right click the song title and click "Show in Finder."
4. A Finder window will come up with the file highlighted. From here you can see the file type.
