Sounds like your drive may not have DMA enabled :)

Are you trying to copy directly from another cd drive? 'On the fly' as they say.
If you are then it needs to be able to read the disc twice as fast as the writer is writing.
If your cd rom is reading at 48Xspeed then you should slow your writer down to 24Xspeed to be on the safe side.

I take it your are burning these MP3s as AudioCD? What's the RAM buffer you've got? Try manually setting it :)

Tried my cd-rw in another pc and it failed above 32, i then tried another cd-rw in my pc and it burned at max speed, so it looks like my cd-rw is cr##ped out.
Thanks for the help it was much appreciated.
