I was backing up my most valuable CDs and trying to play my cheap CD player.(Sony CE595). The problem is there were several skipping problmes, and I tried at different players( my car and CD or DVD Drivers at computers). They skipped all same place on some tracks. The original CDs don't have this problem.
I bought 8x Plexter at ebay and burnt 1x speed. There was still same problem but at different location of different tracks. I used Nero Buring Rom 6 and Fuji green CDs or white green TDKs for Music. Burnt from same CD with same burner and but TDK and Fujifilm were skipped at different location. I've tried several my original CDs, 20% of them show this kind of problem. Thanks in advance.

As mentioned before, use Exact Audio Copy (free download) to copy your CD to your hard drive and then burn it to a blank CD-R. Also, you get better results with better media (Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Mitsumi) then with the cheaper brands. I believe that Taiyo Yuden and Mitsumi (MAM) are the only ones that still manufacture media in Japan, which has better quality production facilities. You can buy them on-line but avoid E-Bay as there are a lot of counterfeit Taiyo Yuden around. For further assitance with EAC check Hydrogen Audio forum. Good luck!

  I assume you mean Mitsui. Great cd-r media.

  Or is there something I don't know? Can I use EAC to burn (how)?

    IMHO cds are dead, so I have never used EAC to burn.
    But it does.
    Make sure you have an updated version, and follow these instructions:
    To burn a cuesheet:
    1. Start EAC.
    2. Select Tools | Write CD-R.
    3. Select File | Load CUE Sheet. Specify your cuesheet file.
    4. Click CD-R | Write CD.
    5. The disc will now be burned.

      Thanks. I have all these things. I just don't know how to make a cue sheet. I'll figure it out.

        You need to know the minutes:seconds:frames to use that.
        An easier way to get a CUE sheet:
        The long way -- load all the WAVs in Audacity and string them all together (cut track 2, select track 1 and press "end" to go precisely to the end of the track, and paste track 2 onto it). After pasting each track, make a note of the m:s:f (you have to go View > Set Selection Format > cdda min:sec:frames 75fps). Once you have this information, put it all into the CUE generator. I've found that you have to manually edit the sheets it makes, too: open the CUE in Notepad and change all of the "INDEX 00" to "INDEX 01". Now you're ready to burn.
        The short way -- just rip the disc in EAC with the "image and CUE". Instant WAV file and CUE for it.
        
        OK. I have a Ph.D. You have to get down to my level! - Frihed89 08:32:48 08/18/06 (1)

        First. Thanks for taking the time. I see this image and cue button on the left side of the screen, with "IMG" above it. That's it? What do I do next? If you ever come to DK, i'll buy you a burger! Thanks again.

        with EAC, the simplest thing to generate a CUE file for the whole CD is from the toolbox, don't remember which particular one, but try pull down menus, you'll find the option "Generate CUE Sheet". Do it. It will create a file with an extension ".CUE", you'll have to give it a name. Then to burn the CD, load the CUE sheet, and start burning.

Plextor is a very good brand of CD burner, but the 8X speed indicates it is a fairly old unit. Due to the mechanical nature of a CD drive and the aging of the laser unit, burners don't last indefinitely. Since you bought it used, you don't know if the prior use history was heavy or not.
I'd try burning a few copies on a friend's computer using your original CD's and the same brand blanks you've been using, but where you know the burner is good. If those turn out fine, then your Plextor is probably a bit too long in the tooth and you'll want to replace it. You can trying blowing out the interior with canned air and even removing the cover and lubricating in appropriate spots, but I've found that generally has fairly low odds of fixing anything.
Maybe it was in the copying stage - Frihed89 10:45:28 08/17/06 (0)
Try EAC. It will tell you if there are errors and try to fix them.
