I don't think that's the whole story, honestly. I have been having problems with 2.01a19 and audio as well. This week I have burned 17 data CDs without *any* problem, and using the same media and burner had to try eight times to finally get one single audio CD. The media may not be great, but it works for data, so there is some other issue in place. Yes, I tried both default and the -dao option.From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 24 05:28:44 2003
Each time I try to burn an Audio CD in DAO mode using Cdrecord and my
QSI Combo CD-writer (I tried speed=4,8,12,16) I receive an error as the
one in the attached file and the CD writing process fails with the waste
of a blank media (I disposed tons of useless blank CDs).
Everything works fine in TAO mode, though I need to use DAO in order not
to have the silence gap between audio tracks.
I am currently using a Redhat 9 distributions and a custom-compiled
kernel 2.4.22. Cdrecord version is 2.01a19 but I also encounter the same
problem with the original version supplied by Redhat.
Any help/advice/patch would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I wish to express a warm "thanks" to all the developers involved
in the Cdrecord project for providing us this great piece of software.
Regards,
Guido

What do you expect when you use low quality media on a low quality drive?
System is a 1.4GHz Athlon, Linux 2.4.20 Redhat kernel, ASUS 20x burner.
Other note, I was shipping four of the data CDs so I ran the excelent -c2scan on them, and found only a few sectors with any bit errors, none with more than 10 or so. I believe that indicates the media may not be worderful, but is certainly reasonably good.
Could you comment on what else is different between the data and audio burns which could contribute to this?
