Tim, It is unlikely that the media is at fault, this is not to say that it cannot be, but highly improbable and especially over 6 disks. I had a burner that did that and it turned into a nice doorstop, it just started and was no good thereafter. I have not had success either at music burning at hight speeds, data and vcds fine just not music. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- To those who have been in harms way, to those that have made the sacrifice in humanities name.
