i burned a cd from some downloaded songs. when i listened to the cds, there is a little hiccup noise every few secodns on all the songs. you know, that hiccup noise you sometimes get on a downloaded song. these noises are not on the songs on my computer, only on the burned cd. anyway, do you know why the songs sound bad on the cd?

it could be your cd burner

have you tried burning the cds at a slower speed?

well the thing is, i havent had this problem on any other cds. all the little hiccups on my cds are from mp3s with hiccups. but this time, the mp3s dont have hiccups, but the cd does.

Try getting it to drink a glass of water while standing on its head!

Have you changed your brand of cd or anything like that?

haha.

no, i havent changed anything. is it possible that my label on the cd could cause this?

maybe the problem is while the cd was burning, i had music playing on the computer.

i tried burning it again (at a slower speed too), and the same thing happened.

just noticed, not all of the ongs have the hiccup. the only ones with the hiccups are the ones of 320 kbps quality. isnt that weird?

What app are you using to burn the cd's?
Have you tried using a different one?

Have you ever burned a cd with mp3's of a 320kbs quality before? Matbe Roxio is having problems converting it. Try another app (nero or my all time fav Acoustica mp3 burner) and burn the same mp3's to compare the difference.

Just put the songs you want into the list and click burn. It should do the rest by itself.

ok, it worked. and no hiccups. nice.

i dont really like the program though, i dont like having a "My Library"
all the files are disorganized. i prefer the way Roxio works where you choose a location to get the files from.

do you have any other suggestions for burning programs? preferably free. heh.

Hey man, this is P2P, its all free!
I dont really burn my mp3's to audio anymore so I cant really help with suggestions but at least we know its your software at fault and not a hardware problem. Prehaps a quick post in softwareworld might help (unless anyone can suggest a good app in here?)
