oh dear, I am having huge problems. PLease excuse me if this doesn't completely make sense - I am not terribly compuiter literate. I just installed a new cdrw drive because my other one was fried when my power supply went kaput. It is a Sony cd-rw crx185E3. I've always used free software with my other burner - most recently mp3 doctor but now I have Nero 5.5. I've upgrade to the newest version so that my drive is supported and it is now burning. The problem I have is that the cd's are almost completely useless due to the large amount of skipping and static.

I've tried changing the reading speed but it didn't seem to help. I am burning mp3s.

If anyone has any tips, I would be very appreciative!

I'm not sure. What speed did you use when burning the cds?

I've heard that it's not a good idea to burn audio cds at high speeds.

Anyway, I've been using Nero 5.5 for more than a year, and have never had any trouble with Audio CDs (mp3, wav, etc.) or Data Cds. I have an older Sony drive (CRX-145E).
