Galane Posted yesterday at 02:35 AM Posted yesterday at 02:35 AM Is it a problem with the cue file? I burned the files with another program without using the cue file and it made a working disc, but without the CD text info. ImgBurn.log Ultra-Lounge Vol. 02 - Mambo Fever.cue
dbminter Posted yesterday at 03:17 AM Posted yesterday at 03:17 AM It's probably what I suspected before even opening the log. This goes a bit toward explaining it: I 19:54:52 Source Media Type: CD-R (Disc ID: 97m26s66f, CMC Magnetics Corp.) but it does not as readily explain why the Sony disc also failed. However, I have a feeling it's related. CMC Magnetics Corporation makes the absolutely worst discs out there. They are utter trash. You most likely bought the Verbatim Life Series CD-R from a brick and mortar store. The Life Series are junk. Now, Sony isn't as easily dismissed, but, over the past 23 years, Sony has also made little but junk. So, I'd be willing to wager their CD-R are just as much garbage as their BD-R's are. First thing I'd concentrate on is not using the trash media. Get yourself some Verbatim DataLife Plus (NOT the Life Series.) or AZO CD-R. Mitsubishi makes those. Those and Taiyo Yuden were the best out there for decades. Don't know about the state of TY's anymore after CMC Magnetics bought them. CMC Pro DVD-R media is still quality TY discs, though, last I used them.
Galane Posted 18 hours ago Author Posted 18 hours ago (edited) I just burned a dozen more audio discs to discs off that same spindle. ZERO problems. Here's a new log where I tried using that cue file to a CD-RW. SAME problem as I got with it before three times in a row. I used a fresh out of the package, never used before CD-RW, so it's not a 'worn out' rewriteable. How about actually having a look at the cue instead of just dissing and dismissing it as a problem with the brands of media? I took a close look at the CD-Rs and the CD-RW. Using this cue, imgburn is leaving a visible gap in the middle of the recorded area. That isn't there on the CD-R I burned with the files, without using the cue.

dbminter Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago How about I don't supply any more help? I, at least, offered an opinion. Doesn't mean it's right.
Dawn_fan Posted 13 hours ago Posted 13 hours ago I find it suspicious that your error occurs around the same spot for BOTH discs. You burn 18 tracks and on the 18th track, you encounter the read error. This is present for the CMC disc burn in your first post and the Infodisc CD-RW used in your post afterwards. Since this is a pattern with two different types of discs, I feel like it could even be your drive. There are many factors involved here so it may sometimes be difficult to diagnose. I would recommend trying a different drive and seeing if it gets better or trying a slower burn speed. Also Mr. Minter still has a valid point and is only trying to help, most of the problems faced across this forum is due to faulty media, especially media manufactured by CMC Magnetics Corp. MOST of the time, switching to a different brand, like the Data Life Plus Discs Mr. Minter mentioned previously, tend to fix the issues as drives are more compatible with those discs.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago It doesn’t make any sense that it would be running into that error. It’s trying to read beyond what it’s just written.
