Re: (CD media)

[Joseph Welling]

I get lots and lots of failures using iTunes (on G4 400 AGP running 
most current Panther).  I do fine with data CDs, though.  I'm using an 
external firewire Yamaha 16-10-30.  Most of my failures are when iTunes 
is checking the media.  Once past that step, I almost never get a real 
failure.  (I get plenty of failures to verify after, but the burn is 
invariably successful.)

I suspect I have a less than perfect cable--and any operation that 
takes a long time (i.e. checking media and verifying after the burn) is 
more susceptible to failure.

I read somewhere that there is a compatibility issue with certain 
brands of CDs and certain burners.  I seem to have best luck with TDK, 
and worst success rate with Memorex--but that's strictly a very 
subjective impression.
