I'm having trouble with playback of cd's that I'm burning on my computer. When into my home stereo and my S.O's car stereo, a fast paced clicking (almost like a very fast tick from an LP) can be heard on playback. I've used Imaganation and HP CD-R's. What's causing this? Is something wrong with the computer? The program I'm using to burn the cdr's (NERO). Is it the quality of the CDR's? I also hear with some CD's that friends have burnt for me from out of print LP's to play on my CD only system.Color me frustrated.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I had the same trouble until I dropped it back to 4x in my case.rw
Well, let's look at one of the two problems you mention - CDs ripped and burned by you having the clicking. Since you mentioned you have Nero, try the following. Locate the CDSpeed.exe (Nero CD-DVD Speed) in one of the subdirectories of the one Nero is installed in. Run it and put a recordable CD in the drive you use for ripping. Choose Extra, Advanced DAE Quality Test, Create Test CD. This will burn a test CD that will be used to test the audio ripping error correction quality of your burner. After the disc has been created, choose Extra, Advanced DAE Quality Test, Run Test. This will take a while. When it's done, check the "quality score" of the DAE extraction. If it's not 100 percent, the burner has defective digital audio extraction, and getting reliable rips will be an exercise in frustration.If it's okay, the next step is to try EAC for ripping - but that's a subject in itself. There are various modes for audio ripping that can be used. I'm not sure whether the mode used by Nero for ripping is robust against data errors. In any event CD audio error correction is much less robust that that for CD data, so ripping software can make a huge difference here in certain cases.
Another problem I had was with discs burned at 52x skipping in the car. When I changed my procedure to burn at the slowest available rate (8x for my drive), that fixed the problem.
In addition to Andy's message I've also had trouble with playback on my home CD transport . Switching to Taiyo Yuden CD-rom media cured the problem . I would only do this if Andy's suggestion fails . None of the current Taiwan , Malaysia , India cd's will play on my system . Only CD's manufactured in Japan . I think Mitsui Gold is also mentioned as the best available .Joe
Mitsui Gold is now known as MAM-A Gold. It is the best. I'd use this if the CD was going to be used stored exposed to direct sunlight or heat (like in a car). Otherwise TY or other made in Japan CDs would be acceptable. As far as I am concerned non-Japanese made CD-R's are a waste of shelf space - many will go bad in 2-3 years and reburning is a pain in the neck, and chances are you will have a player that will not work with these. It is a huge shame this junk has driven good blank media off the shelves of stores.
