Hey everyone, I've been burning CD's for quite awhile, and I've never had this problem before. I'm burning 15 5-minute tracks onto a CD. It's an audio book of Harry Potter that I downloaded. It was originally in 1 long track, but I've split it into 5 minute peices, using an mp3 splitter. So the files are all in mp3 format. When listening to the raw files before burning them to a CD, they sound fine, there are no problems, but when burned to a CD, the last track has a bunch of weird skips in it. Most of the other tracks are fine, but the last one goes funky. I've uploaded the last track for you to hear what it sounds like. I've put up a sample of the original file that sounds fine, and then a file ripped off the CD that I burned that has the skipping problem. Here is the original file that sounds good: http://www.packerworld.com/temp/HarryPotterSoundByte_Good.mp3 Here is the one ripped from the CD I made that has problems: http://www.packerworld.com/temp/HarryPotterSoundByte_Bad.mp3 Ok, it's a little weird, but I just tested my downloads. The bad one doesn't sound quite as bad as it does playing it from the CD for some reason, but you can get the jist of it. It doesnt' get really bad till the last 10 seconds or so, so skip to the last bit, and you can see kind of what I'm talking about. Any ideas? Thanks.
the cd-r might be dirty or scratch and btw does the skipping sound happen after the songs has finished an its about to go to the next song?
No, it would happen throughout different parts of the track. And I don't think it's a bad or scratched CD. Here's why. The skipping won't always happen in the same place. Say if it skips at one part, you can rewind the track, and listen through the same spot, and it won't skip there. It may never skip there again, it just skips at random spots. If the CD were bad or scratched, wouldn't it skip in the same spot every time, where the scratch is? Thanks.
