Lately, some audio cds that i've burned start skipping as if they were scratched, usually around the last 5 songs but sometimes it's the whole disc and it won't get recognized by my car's cd player. Tried everything I could think of, burned again at a slower speed, updated software, cleaned the lens, etc. any help appreciated my pc setup p4 3Ghz HT 512 ddr400 80GB 7200 rpm dvd+/- 8x on master dvd+/- 4x on slave(both memorex burners)
Can you eliminate your burner from the equation by using another one? Your setup indicates this? It could also be faulty media or you car player, try playing on another player. Is it only cdr? Or are you getting problems with dvdr?
i've used alcohol 120% and roxio 7 and still i get that same skipping sound, only on music cd-r's no probs with dvd-r i've tried on several players and it skips on the same part of the song or several seconds before or after i put up my setup to see if it would help you or someone determine if it's my setup thats causing the prob.
So it`s the same with both burners? Are these the same cdr brand of media you`ve been using for a long time or a different brand?
The problem may also be the new DRM feature that some companies have been putting on new cd's so that they won’t play correctly in pcs. If you’re original cd plays well on your pc the problem is most likely your quality of media. Also make sure never to use printed cd labels (at least while trying to figure out what’s wrong). If you can't play your bought cds in you pc normally but you can in your stereo or car then it’s because of Microsoft’s DRM crap.
