... are these vendor-burned CDs or did *YOU* burn the CDs?
i've checked your h/w products, the components that might
cause issues, but the h/w from your list is okay.
i've found that the most successfully burned CDs are those
that are burned at slow rates, such as 2x. 4x might be okay,
but i find that anything higher and the quality of the burn
goes down. additionally, the cheap CDs are not worth the
money you save
