CD Burning: Pissing me right off.

[Alucard]

So it seems as if my burner likes to burn most of an album properly, but totally foul up the last few tracks or so, I have no idea why this is, but it seems like this either happens, or, it dosen't.

It's annoying to me to burn an album, and have the first bit of it fine, but the last few tracks all skipping as if the CD is scratched all to hell (which it isn't.)

I've tried different CD brands, burning in different programs, everything, but it's still extremely hit and miss, I'll either burn a perfectly fine album without flaws, one that works mostly but has a flaw or two, or one where the entire final track sections are worthless.

I'm pretty ignorant on why exactly this happens, so if anyone has a clue, please tell me what I'm doing, or not doing, or anything that might help.

Get a new burner.

Well this is still a fairly new laptop so the fact that it already needs a new burner is incredibly annoying, but I may end up doing it, that or just getting an MP3 of some sort.

My old HP burner burnt like that. I had to get a new one.

Maybe try burning at 4x or something extremely slow.

How exactly does one change the burning speed? I've always wondered this and I've never been able to figure it out for some reason.

Before you actually start to burn whatever it is your burning, Nero usually lets you pick from 52x-4x. 52x is faster, but it could have some errors. Burning at 4x makes sure that it burns slowly and steadily.
