Hey Tom, Thanks for those suggestions. I did find that after putting a disc into the burner for reading, that when afterward placing the same disc in my Victor Reader Classic, that the medium was rejected. I've thought about the possibility that the drive might be defective in such a way as to make the laser capable of doing some kind of damage to discs, but thought that might be a bit paranoid and over the top, but I guess not. It might just be time for a new burner. I've had this Lite-on for a little over three years. As a matter of fact, it came with my computer. I'm definitely open to any other possible suggestions. After all, if to further troubleshoot this problem is to destroy my music, I can hardly justify doing that.
