Slow it down. Do not be doing anything else on the machine
while the CD burns. Have the source files on hard disk, not another
CD.

You're using Adaptec EZCD Creator?

I don't think this has anything to do with NT...

Where does the music come from? If it's off a record, what are
you using to record it?

In article <yQWW5.3580$l02....@news1.sunsh1.vic.optushome.com.au>,
fax...@optushome.com.au says...

First off, as a test, record to your harddrive (as a .wav) and play some
of the files. If you are using the Adaptec s/w, use the CD Creator, not
CD Copier. This will allow you to pre-record as a .wav file (this
is an option when you right-click a song that you have "dragged" down to
the creation window.

If you have the clicks, the problem is with reading the CD, not writing it.

If you don't hear the clicks on the .wav file, but do hear them on the
burned CD, then it is probably due to poorly-defined pits on the
burned CD. You might find that you can correctly read the CDs on some
players (e.g., the CD-ROM on your PC), but not on others (e.g., your
stereo).

Certainly try different speeds, as has been suggested. Recording at 1x
theoretically should give better results, but this isn't always the case.

Another thing to try is a different brand/type of CDs. Try one of the
high-grade series like Memorex Platinum and see if the problem clears up.
You may have bought a bad batch of blanks. This happened to me. All of a
sudden I was finding lots of misreads when playing recorded CDs on my
stereo (CD players did fine), even when recording at 1x. The problem
eventually cleared up, leading me to the conclusion that I had simply
scored a bad batch of disks.

Good luck.
