You want to make sure that you are either using some good generic scsiWell I'm real glad to hear I'm not the only one. I had 7 coasters and thought it had something to do with that error when trying to copy a music CD.
So can someone please tell me if there is such a thing as "DATA ONLY"
CDRs? Just thought perhaps that's the reason for the coasters...?
drivers in the burning program or that you have correctly identified the
drive type. Small differences can result in major problems.
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24, Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
How do I know if this is a good driver? I've included the output from one session as an attachment.
Also, if you are trying to burn at max speed and get coasters, you may
want to try specifying a reduced speed for burning. Most CD Burners try
to read the available speed off the media but the media is not always
accurate, I routinely get CD's that report a capable speed of 24x but end
up coasters if I try to burn that fast, I have to drop it to 16x for
those.
I always specify the speed - 8x for CDR and 4x for CDRW. But after the first 2 coasters I used 4x for the CDR which obviously didn't help. They all have the same result of playing the first 3 songs fine, then from the 4th song onwards... nothing. Even tho all songs are correctly listed in xmms. Got so desperate that I tried Windows with winamp which played almost all of the 4th song then died.
I gave my old HP9310 CD-Writer to a friend whose system couldn't take this new USB CD-Writer. Never had a problem with the old one but haven't used this new one all that much.
If you are copying other CD's, keep in mind that Copy Protection can mess
things up. If you are copying someone else's ISO, you may want to mount
it as a loopback device and check the properties. I have had initial
configuration difficulties with Xcdroast and K3B but have both working
now without any problems or errors.
Sorry, I wasn't very specific there. I didn't actually copy on-the-fly, I ripped the audio CD to hard drive and then burnt to CDR. Each song plays fine from the hard drive. I even deleted them and ripped again several times using various apps, all with the same result.
Happy to help if you give me more details of your exact situation.
I tried burning from the command line, xcdroast, k3b, and eroaster which is the program I use the most. I also tried burning as root user.
Data (backups, etc) works fine with this burner on the same CDRs. However I burnt MDK 9.1 ISOs which wouldn't work from my old CD-ROM drive but worked in my newer CD-ROM drive on another system.
I haven't tried burning a different audio CD yet but will give it a go today. Maybe its just that particular audio CD.
Using MDK 9.1 with a BTC 5224UI External USB 2.0 CD-Writer (52x 24x 52x).
Your help and advice is much appreciated as always.

Would by any chance, the orginal audio CD be a "continuous audio CD , that is , with no gaps between tracks" because if so, you can get read problems when you come to play the burnt CD, if you read the original audio CD with -pad flag. The sympton of being able to read up to 3/4 tracks before it hangs is a characteristic of this. If so the solution is to remove the | X | from "do index scan" in xcdroast, or remove "-pad" from cdrecord CL.
I have never come across any blank CD's that were data only, they all accept audio.
