You can use this link for how to create media. It's the same even if you are using an external drive.Create CDs and DVDs in Music on Mac - Apple Support Intro to burning CDs and DVDs in Music on Mac - Apple Support

I can't help with your burning playlists issue but a late 2009 iMac can run High Sierra.


Mac Hardware Requirements

For details about your Mac model, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choose About This Mac. These Mac models are compatible with macOS High Sierra:

  • MacBook (Late 2009 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
  • MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
  • Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
  • iMac (Late 2009 or newer)
  • Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)


If you wish at some point in the future to upgrade to High Sierra this link will tell you how to go about it
