make sure the disks are clean sometimes fingerprints will make it skip. i once burned a cd , pulled it out the burner put it in the car and it stated skipping later when i looked at it, it had fingerprints so i wiped them and it worked fine. check both the master and the copy to make sure they are clean

Mcleanhatch is right, make sure your cd's are clean. also you might want to think about transfering them into mp3's then burning it to a cd. It cleans up the tracks if they skip.

alright.

i hope thats it.

also i never converted cd's to mp3's before so i don't know how i can do that.

but it sounds like a good idea.

when i think about it thats whut i thought the burner was doing in the first place.

cause whut i was doing was copying files off one cd then copying sumore offa another cd.

then when i had all my files

i burned it.

burn at slower speeds. And you can't play MP3's off a Cd unless the CD player reads MP3's. Why would you wanna listen to MP3's anyway?, they sound like crap compared to the original audio files

^^^don't forget the jelly

@tooper-you can download free programs from www.cnet.com that convert your cd's to mp3's. The cd burner automatically converts mp3's into wave files, that is what the file needs to be in order to be played on a cd player.

so burning at a slightly lower speed will help if my cd rom is kinda old and junky right?

i don't got the best computer.

so clean my cd's (checked they had fingerprints)
i turned off my screen saver (hope that helps)
burn at lower speed (hopefully that works)

any other suggestions?

i'll try it tonight.

I use mp3's for storage just in case the original gets messed up. mp3's don't sound any different than the original audio file. You only want to burn at lower speed if you have a 1980's cd player. If you have a pretty new player you should be fine, buring slower really has nothing to do with quality of sound.

MP3's definitely Sound much different than the original audio files, the Higher Frequencies get truncated(do a comparison, the difference os obvious). I have a Newer Computer, and when I burn Cd's at lets say 8x, it won't play it in some cd Players, like car Stereos. The slower you burn the Shit, the more effective it is. I burn all my audio CD's at 2x. I'm only sayin' this from experience, cuz I've tried many different methods. I'm doin' Rap productions, so maybe my ears my pick up the details a lil more.

yeah in some of the older stereos cdr's won't play when you record them at high speeds. I have never heard the difference in sound from mp3's and regular audio files, and I've made many cd's. It does depend on when converting your files to mp3 that you do it right, because they can get distorted. You need to know how to use the software. It's not hard. I'm only saying this from experience myself. But it comes down to what ever works for you. Like you said your in productions, so maybe you do pick up on more details....But all my mp3s have been identical in sound, and even better if the cd is scratched. But what ever works for you that's what counts.

I hear the difference too. Wav's are the only ones that actually sound like cd quality. But wav files are hard to work with sometimes.

i cleaned my cd's and everything.same problem.

so whut speed do you guys suggest?

also i burned a couple mp3's they worked fine but sum did'nt burn at all it could'nt read a few.i don't trust mp3's anyhow.so i'm sticking to cd's but right now it's not working for me.

Your cds might not be able to burn the songs correctly because they might be designed for slower burning speeds. What speed do the cds say is the maximum speed? The ones I have are 48x, and my burner does 32x, and they come out cool. Some blank cds have low speed tolerance, like around 16x. Check and make sure your cds aren't the problem.
