I've both had the problem and read about it. Seems you may need to run
your burner software at 8x or even 4x. Seems audio copies tend to get a
"buffer underrun" error. That means you're system isn't supplying audio
fast enough to the target CD, causing errors. Apparently "data" doesn't
rely on speed - data is data no matter when it "gets there" - while audio
must be copied *in rhythm* because it's time-dependent, and won't sound
right if it the bits & bytes don't get to the CD on time.
