Ok so I have deduced a few more things.

The problem is with the actual files, not the discs, not the cdj's. Although, the same discs that dont work in the cdj's DO work in my laptop, which is bullshit considering a laptop shouldnt have a better lens then a 1200 dollar piece of pro audio.

So with that said how do I go about fixing this issue. The stops I now find are ALL happening at the same spots in the same songs, I just didn't originally realize that. I also have every song on two cds so that I can play different stuff simultaneously. Both discs dont work for every song I have tried.

There are some tracks that were encoded back to 320. I collected music before I got into dj'ing so I put everything at 192 when I was buying it pre dj. I encoded all of those back to 320 but there were no errors in the encoding and they work on my computer, both via mp3 off the hard drive and off the discs that do NOT work on the cdj's. I really dont know what to do right now and I have a set tomorrow night arggghhh!

The real question that is bothering me is how the fuck does my computer drive read them but not the cdjs?

Update.

I believe the problem is with the encoding. I re-encoded one of the files that didn't work previously and reburnt it and it works. However, the identical spot where the error message pops it now skips instead of stopping. This is fucking ridiculous; the way its appearing there is no way around this problem.

Does anyone know why they would play in my laptop correctly but not the cdjs?

Dude, seriously get some fucking commercially pressed CD's already. Borrow, beg, buy, steal CD's - whatever but it's the only way to be sure of an encoding problem.

Just used a couple of commercial cds borrowed from a friend, and they work fine.

Which is bad news for me as I see it

No that's good news! Your CDJ's aren't screwed.

Get hold of toast (for mac) or Nero (pc) and use them for burning and see if the fault happens again. If not then you know your itunes is buggered (maybe you need to check what version you're running?).

If nero/toast still produce CD's that jump or skip, then it's either your computers CD drive (sometimes they need firmware updates) or you have a bad batch of media (not uncommon).

Its definitely the media because when I re-encoded it it improved vastly. I dont understand why there is still an issue with the file I guess I'll just have to toss the songs that do it

Don't toss the tracks, just the CD's that you burnt.

The files are not corrupt - it's your burning process that doesn't work.

Are you burning the tunes as mp3s or wav?

I get the same error at times if I burn the tunes as mp3s

Oh, don't cheap out on cds either

Yeah the way it looks to me I have to agree with people above that Itunes is buggy or it could be one your drives in the computer. Do
what DJ RANN said and all because it narrow it down more because it is most likely not the tracks. You can get Nero and toast for a free trial if you do google search since I found it easy.
