The suggestion elsewhere in this thread about trying a different
brand of disc is also a good idea, especially if the issue is
*only* with burning discs, not reading them.

The first few we did were with cheap unlabelled ones, which were
mostly fine (we had a couple of part-burned ones, but that was I
think more a buffer problem - it is a BURN-proof drive, and the
software knows that, but still; and moving the "temporary files"
space for the .mp3-to-wav conversion to a different partition,
combined with reducing the burning speed, seemed to solve that).

A fail-safe method is to just decode the MP3s to wave yourself then
burn the waves. Many programs to do decoding/encoding, CDex is
good, easy and free. http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/


GoldWave (with Lame) too. But (a) that part of Burn4Free seems to have
worked fine anyway, (b) I suspect it (burnfree) would still
intermittently fail to detect there was a blank in the drive, when we
tried to burn the .wavs.

Right. I was suggesting it as an alternative to your previous buffer
problem.
