Thanks for asking this. I have exactly the same problems and it's really
getting me down. I'm using a cheapo CD burner, so I suspect firmware
problems.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I just got a new spindle of CDs -
'silver' Philips ones. dunno if they'll be any different from the sony
pthalocyanine ones. Probably not. We shall see. The 'blue' 'green' and 'gold'
use different inks AFAIU.
