I don't know. Is there a possibility that the computer itself played a
part? The last burner was a Sony, I would get skipping and even a kind
of bleeding between tracks, where if I tried to skip tracks I could
hear the audio from the previous track over the start of the next.
Lots of silly things like that. Reducing burn speed seemed to cure it.
Mind you, I had also heard that Nero 7 had a problem with MP3s and
eventually replaced the relevant file with one from Nero 6, but then I
kind of stopped burning CD-R around that time so never gave it a
thorough testing. It may have been the real problem.
