I've been having some problems with the past couple of CD's that I've burned from my computer. At first, I thought it might have been due to an imperfection in the disk, but this has now happened to the last three disks that I've burned. It can't be a defect with my audio equipment either, since the same problems occur when I play back my CD's on my portable Walkman and on my home CD player.
Here's what has happened:
1) Sometimes, one or more tracks are missing from the CD when I play it back. For example, I will play track 7, and it plays fine. When the track ends, the display reads "track 8", but nothing plays. If I skip to track 9, it plays fine. All the tracks, however, seemed to be copied, since I watched my Windows Media Player while I was burning it.
2) Sometimes, parts of a track are missing from the CD when I play it back. For example, the first 30 seconds of a song play fine, but then for the next 20 seconds I get nothing; after that, the rest of the song plays normally. Another example: I skip to track 13, and the song doesn't play from the beginning, but starts 43 seconds into the song.
3) Sometimes, the CD abruptly stops playing. It either returns to the start of the track or entirely shuts off.
4) Sometimes, the audio equipment makes unusual noises when moving between tracks or when playing.
I've concluded that the problem has to be with my computer, since the problems always occur at the same place on the same disk, regardless of where I play them.
Does anyone know what could be causing this, or how it could be fixed? I'd appreciate it if anyone could help. Thanks in advance.
