I currently have a Philips DVD+RW burner. I've found that whenever I try to burn audio CDs I can't play them on my year old DVD/CD player. However, my buddy has an iMac and every audio CD he burns works fine on my DVD/CD player (Sony model).

I'm looking for a burner (preferrably a DVD combo drive) that will flawlessly produce audio CDs so that I can make "mixed" audio CDs of my 21,000 MP3s with confidence.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Just a follow up. While I'm interested in speed, I'll take quality over speed for this purpose.

Thanks for your forthcoming suggestions.

One more piece of information:

I am currently using the WinXP CD burning routine to burn audio CDs. Could that be part of the problem?

I use EAC w/LAME to rip my MP3s...but haven't tried burning an audio CD with it (not sure if you can.)

Again, any suggestion to help solve the issue would be greatly appreciated.

:)

Thanks

Have you tried burning the same media as your buddy uses at low speed (something like 8x)?

There's a Yamaha CD Burner that has a special feature for burning audio. You'll probably find it browsing Yamaha's web page.

Yes, we use identical media, one of the recommended (here on this site) media manufacturers (labelled by Memorex).

I haven't tried burning slower (WinXP doesn't appear to give you that option?)

Is EAC a reasonable burner? Is there great burning software out there (in the way that a lot of folks agree that EAC is one of the best rippers?)

I use EAC for burning audio CDs, especially for copying CD->CD-R (-> single .wav + cue sheet). AFAIK it doesn't work with all hardware out there but I'd give it a try. Nero Burning Rom is another widely used all-purpose burning software; feurio seems to be good for burning audo CDs from mp3s as it's good in handeling damaged mp3s. Freeware alternatives (for audio): http://www.apehaus.com/burrrn/ Burrn, Burnatonce.

Yamaha Burner: Yes - that "Advanced Audio Master" feature is what I had in mind. Meybe you find a DVD burner that offers this feature when writing audio CDs ...

The developer of EAC (Andre) much prefers the Plextors - and for good reason. If you get the Plextor Premium - set it's max speed to 40x. Until burning s/w can write at variable speeds -it's best to limit write speed. My system does fine at 20x but not at 24x so I set it at 16x. You can select the write speed in EAC which also has a forum well worth monitoring.

Feurio is a neat audio burner: http://cd-rw.org/software/audio_software/all-in-one/feurio.cfm . For CD ripping, the EAC is recommended and serves as a burner too.
