FYI, if your RARS come with PAR2 files, or if they're made available, it's a good idea to download a few of those and run them through quickpar. That'll fix any problems that occurred in transit.

Also, FYI, you'd be better off using Real Alternative. It doesn't have the spyware that comes with RealPlayer/Jukebox/etc. Of course if you use Rhapsody you're hosed anyway...

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
