What the hell is happenning to my CDR ,
I Have wasted like 20 brand new CDR's , expensive ones aswell, it seems that nero keeps failing sometimes and the Buffer status on the Burn procedure goes very low ???, also if the burn process completes , half of the tracks don't seem to play properly, its like the cd is scratched but there are no scratches on it. what the feck is goig on , 
Could be anything to do with the bit rate of the mp3 ?
Have you tried using different CDs? Or are these the kind youy always use? Maybe you have a dodgy batch?

Sounds like a dodgy batch to me.

you don't have enough I/O to burn the CD's at the speed your trying to. Basically the processor is spitting out bad data to burn on CDR cos it can't keep up with the writer. the device chain that the writer is on might be PIO aswell which is very bad. It stands for Programmed In/Out meaning everytime an instruction is to be sent to a drive it has to be routed back through CPU. Much slower this way, your cpu use can be 100% just from writing a cd (or accessing a disc) on 1.6ghz machine easily. Usually only happens if your motherboard has a dodge implementation of ACPI and you are using a newer os (like winxp). It reroutes all irqs to the same one which sometimes fucks up the onboard secondary IDE controller (if your acpi implementation is fucked anyways) so it has to run in PIO mode (vs. DMA). Basically *first* try burning at a godly slow speed like 12x or even 4x if that doesn't work then swap channels on your drive (put it as primary slave). I can help more if you tell me what chipset your using , and other machine specs...
just burn 2x i love 36 min. of waiting on a cd
tip 1. dont buy cheep cd-r's, they bite u in the ass eventually.
tip 2. dont use ur pc while buring, and burn slower without using the PC at all, buffer underruns when the pc is doing shit aswel as burning.
try not to run other programs while burning.
or update nero if your nero is not the latest version
or just dl nero and install it again
hmmmmmmm
or u can just borrow my 52x firewire external burner.

no shit I go through about 50 a week and buy the cheapest shit i can find.
your computer is just fucked up. to see if its a nero problem or a computer problem download alcohol 120%
create your playlist in nero and as the writing device change it to imagewriter.
save the .nrg to the desktop
use alcohol to burn the image.
if it still fucks up its your comp, if it doesnt its nero
About 50% of the stuff I try to burn anymore doesn't come out right (this is audio CDs). I don't have a problem burning data CDs though. So to solve the problem instead of burning @ 8x, I burn @ 4x. It also helps to do a burning session after a reboot or just when you start the system up. Be sure to end any processes that are not needed as they eat up system resources.
start/settings/controlpanel/system/hardware/device manager/IDE ATA/ATAPI/primary or seconardy (depends which ur burner is on) rite click it then choose properties, advanced settings, check if anything is in PIO.. if so, then reply back here.
Windows automatically tries to use DMA if available and i'm pretty sure he hasn't jiggered with the ******. So that means its running in forced PIO mode more than likely due to the fact it has an old version of ACPI.
ACPI stands for advanced control power interface or some shit, basically its what makes it so when you hit the power button it can be programmed to suspend or whatnot and when you shutdown your computer it turns off automatically, chump shit). The old versions of ACPI were buggy, you pretty much have to reinstall windows to change your machine to a standard (non-acpi) machine.
Take my advice, put it on the primary channel as a slave and it will be fine. As another possibility you could have been infected with a worm which is eating up all your CPU cycles (your entire machine would run unbearably slow though).
Just for comparisons sake, I've burned discs with no buffer underrun problems before at 16x on a 450 mhz amd k6-2 which .. is *very* slow, no clicks in the audio, no pops, no strange sweeeping noises, perfect discs. Everytime my friends have problems with burning discs it usually has to do with this problem. It's surprisingly common in somewhat older machines when you just throw in a cd writer and have windows xp or 2000 installed.
My neighbor was sold a brand new prebuilt machine off of ebay about a year ago with this problem only it was a bit more severe (would lock up constantly etc.) VIA chipsets are particularly notorious for it.
I have a 52x Internal burner and have been burning TDK CDR's at a full 52x and Nero has never fucked up once. I have my HD as the Primary and the CD-RW as the Secondary.
I suggest try some R&D with your IDE settings, and the Primary/Secondary order of your CD-RW
Ive never had problems with cheap CDR's. 50Cds for 30 bucks (those multi coloured CDs)
Buffer problems may be due to a slow CPU. I used to have a 500mhz computer and got buffer underruns alot. I have a 2.4ghz and no buffer underruns and i can use kazza and dc and photoshop and it still stays at 100% buffer, so i think its cpu speed.
