Music is interrupted by errors

For some reason, audio CD burning is still a fragile process. If any part of the process doesn't meet the requirements, you'll get audio errors on your CD. I burned CDs using the "slow" setting in Windows Media Player to avoid errors. It seems like every CD I've burned from this set has about four errors per CD, out of every five or six CDs. Errors are interpreted by my car's CD player as a small beep followed by a split second of silence and the LCD screen reads "CD Error". That's a pity, because I think the white side of the CD is great. In fact, it's possible that the problem is with my computer's CD burner, but I highly doubt it. I have to try burning the CD even slower with third party software. Advantages: - blank side of the white label. Disadvantages: - Previously every audio CD had errors.

Pros
