Not sure if you guys will know this or not. I have a AOPEN CRW 5224 burner rated at 52x24x52. Whenever I burn MP3 discs to play in my Alpine head unit in my truck, they come out corrupted. They'll usually play, but they skip like mad and a lot of times the tracks can't even be read. It seems to do this less if I restart the computer right before burning. I heard someone mention that writing at high speeds causes more errors in the disc that car CD players hate and that I should be burning at 1x, but burning 700mb at 1x doesn't seem like much fun. I do remember the days of the old 4x burners and those were excuciating

any ideas as to what is screwing up the burn?
 
yes the speed dooes affect the quality of the cd being burned.. so if ur writing at 52x.. try 4x.. or if ur out of patience.. try like 12x or something slower.. and yea CD-R or CD-RW.. and ur burning as data right?
 
yep burning as data at 40X as that's the rated speed of the cds. also writing disc at once as writing track at a time makes the disc not readable. It will sometimes read it, but it skips like mad and some tracs are not readable at all.
 
IF your CDRW and HARD-DISK are on the same channel, this can cause DATA errors
during the WRITE process. Try putting the CDRW on the SECONDARY-CHANNEL, as the
MASTER device. (Check the JUMPER on the back of the CDRW for this).

Could be you don't have a lot of memory... Nero and other programs like to cache data
before it written to the DISK.

Also your hard-disk may not be fast enough to deliver 52*600K per second. In this case change the write speed to say 48, 40 or 32, etc, until you get one that works
