Hi folks, 
Not really a linux question. But y'all are experts on everything, so I'll 
ask...
I've been having issues with the last 6 or 7 CD's I've burned. Excessive 
skips throughout. I'm wondering if it's because of the media. The CD-R's I 
have are more than a year old and have been in my basement the entire time. 
My basement is subject to high fluctuations in temperature and humidity as 
the seasons change (it's neither heated, nor air conditioned). Could the 
media be the source of my problems?
The drive is a yamaha 6416 SCSI and I get the problem whether I burn at 6x or 
4x. The buffer rarely goes below 98%. I've tried from both linux and Windows 
with equally poor results.
Any thoughts? I'm now out of CD-Rs and need to buy some. Any recommendations 
on brand, or are they all the same? I primarily burn music, but some data.
Regards, 
Tim
