Add some more detail: What program are you using? What OS? What do you mean by the tracks don't work?

Do you get a "Burn Completed successfully" message when it finishes?
Use DAO and a slower burn speed, and make sure you finalize the disk. CD-RWs dont work well for audio so use only cd-r.
Some CD players dont like some CD-Rs, so try different media.
Thee's lots of possible causes ,so as much info as possible may help.

Try reducing the burning speed.

When I burn I turn everything I can off. Just like when I defrag. I turn off internet connection, NAV, NIS etc. I get much better success then. Give it a try. Burning takes a lot of sys resources. Peace. :)

Freak have a look at this LINK (http://the-predator.tripod.com/). I found this on the Dell website a while back. This guy has tons of buring info and help. He was far more helpful than Dell Customer Service. <_<
