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. See: http://www.cdrfaq.org/ http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/coasterless.htm cheers tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
