Burnt CD issues

Guest · Posted: Sun Feb 26, 2006 12:27 pm Post subject: Burnt CD issues

i am having problems burning some favourite tracks to cd

basically i am trying to make a compilation for my car,

i have burned the disk using media player and using real player but some of the tracks jump when played back in the cars cd player or on home stereo, although all tracks played fine on the pc

can anyone suggest a better cd burner software program or tell me how to correct this.

thanks

There is another possibility. The laser lens need cleaning on the devices on which it jumps or your PC burner has a power level problem. Do you have
2 burners on your PC (I always keep 2 burners on mine for checking things like that)? You need to try the disc on a friend's stereo and PC to get a little more data. Good luck.

Cheap and or dirty blank cd's could be an issue as well, which could lead right to the dirty CD burner lens, like you suggested lannie1.

I don't believe two burners is a requirement to verify a burned cd. I know it works for you, I'm just saying:) Burn it and put it to work!

You could try and select a slower burn speed in your cd-burning software. That has helped me at times.

Brien and lannie1 make reccomendations which I can't improve on
which are:
1: check that the lens/disk are not obliterated by dirt or scratched.
2: burn at a slower speed (I always use a max speed of 24x)
3: use another burning program (you could try the one I use which is
Deepburner, free version - www.deepburner.com. - or Google it.

I compile and edit the marching music for the Australian Marching Girls Association and every disk I burn is checked on 6 different players -
2x on computer / laptop / standalone player / walkman / dvd/cd player
and I've never had a problem except one.
The copy used by one of the teams for practice jumped on their player.
So I burned another copy - same file, same burning prog, same burn speed and it worked fine - go figure!
I must admit I was not able to check the condition of the suspect disk
which was not brought back.

Info. While care of a disk is important cd players do have a function to
replace missing bits of data due to scratches, fingerprints etc.
Too thick a fingerprint and the laser does not reflect and so it jumps.
A small radial scratch across a track might obliterate one small bit of data
which the player is able to replace by comparing the data before and after
the fault.
However if the scratch is along the track too much data is lost and the player will jump to the next readable section.
This is why the disk must be kept clean and if cleaned always gently from
the inside out.

Having said all that some of the disks I've seen looked like they've been
used as a dog's toy for 6 months - and they still play perfectly!!
