I got a PlexWriter Premium cd burner and a sony 16x dvd drive. Ok so when i make a copy of a the music cd and play the new cd in a cd player the song skips at the same place everytime. I have tryed making a copy on a diff computer and it doesnt skip. Could this be a cd burner problem or could the dvd drive be wacked? I know its not a cd problem cause i have tryed 2 diff kinds. Anyone have any clues?
 
Has this always happened on this computer or is this something new? Is it possibly a new load of XP? If you're running a XP there are several patches most of which are included in SP1 that fix issues with burners. If not have you tried lowering the burn speed? Are you burning 'on the fly' or are you caching to disk first? What program are you using to burn with?
 
Are you doing a direct copy of this music cd? If so, you shouldn't. When you do a direct copy of a music cd, you will take the scratches with you. What you should do is extract the songs to WAV's, then burn them on a cd. That way you can listen to the song and see if its skipping. If it skips after being extracted, you know you have a scratched cd.
 
I use Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 an i do disc copier to make a copy of the cd. I also use CDRWIN to burn .bin files and most of the time it wont let me burn i get write errors.
As far as the orignal cd it plays fine with no skipping but when i make a copy on my new pc and play it skips. My old PC is a HP i do it there no problems either. I never really tryed lowering the burn speed. I have had XP for a while but about month ago my HD died so i had to reinstall after that cdrwin has never been the same.
 
i just tryed lowering speed in cdrwin when the cd was almost done i got

error: 'WRITE' command failed on device 1:0:0
read/write error or bad medium detected

im gonna try and make a copy of the music cd in lower speed i'll reply back and let you know
 
Why dont you try to extract that one song that skips using something like audiograbber (which is now free!!! woo!!) and see if the resulting WAV file has the skips. If it does, there is just about nothing you can do. I never do direct copies of my cd's because I always get skips and pops. I always extract the wav files, then burn those to a cd.
 
I used a copy my old pc made that didnt skip. I used it to make the copy on my new pc and the cd didnt skip. I always lowered the max burner speed.
