I may be wrong but maybe the disk writer itself has developed a problem. Plugging in an external burner, if possible, might test this.

Someone suggested it could be hardware. It doesn't feel like hardware to me, but it is difficult to see how it is toast when a re-install fails to fix it. I can drop back to toast V5 and see if it makes a difference.

Problem writing audio CD
Hi, A musician friend of mine uses her eMac (OS10.4) to burn her own CDs using Toast Titanium 6. Recently all CDs she has tried to burn have been unusable on CD players - tracks 1-8 are fine, but tracks beyond 8 cannot be directly addressed using the CD's forward/backward buttons. All tracks can be played, but tracks beyond 8 show on the display as so many minutes and seconds into track 8. The player correctly reports the total number of tracks, but if you try to go directly to track 9, for example, it will show track 9 selected, but won't play it. One CD player we used allowed us to insist on playing; it correctly played track 9, but the display changed, showed us 4:35 minutes into track 8. I've tried writing different groups of files, different numbers of tracks, from different directories. They all stop being addressable after track 8. The CDs play correctly in itunes or from the finder, using preview. They appeared to write correctly in toast, with 2 seconds between tracks, and all tracks are in their separate files on the disk. I've tried removing the preference and plist files - no change. I've removed all toast files and reinstalled - no change. I assume that something is going wrong with the lead in or lead out files, but given that reinstalling the software didn't fix the problem I'm at a bit of a loss - what else to try? Has anyone any experience of this sort of problem? I'd appreciate any suggestions on what else might be affecting writing the CDs.
