Hi Bob,
which backend do you use for burning? cdrtools or cdrkit?
If you used cdrkit, the first thing I'd try is to switch to cdrtools.
Yes, there was some licensing trouble but I'm pretty sure that from a
pragmatic perspective cdrtools is the thing to use.

Other things: use DAO mode

How do you burn the CD? As ISO or by using CUE files, TOC files? If I
remember correctly then those files, if they're wrong in some subtle
way (markers not at the correct boundaries or something), won't burn
the CD correctly. In my case it was simply something like a missing
last track.

I got a few more or less coasters too recently because I wanted to have
proper CDTEXT, but that's a different story...

Hth,
Philipp
