I burn many of my music to CDs for use in the car, Discman, etc.

Lately, it seems that my CDs will sometimes skip, and a CD I burned for a friend even had bits of pieces from other songs "blended in" to the original audio.

What causes this?

My computer is older (P3, 866, 256 RAM), but I close down every program, including virus scanner, prior to burning..

I use Acoustica, and I enable "Convert songs to WAV before burning," as this is recommend for older machines. I am using the Maxell brand, color CD-Rs.

The skipping doesn't happen on every burn, but it does on some, and seeing that I don't listen to the entire CD on the "test listen" it would be nice to eliminate this issue entirely.

Thanks.
