Recently when I have been burning audio CDs from iTunes, the playback quality is very poor?

Question

with a static crackly type noise over the music. The tracks sound fine on my PC & iPod so I'm guessing it is the CD burner. I've also had some problems on DVDs I've burned. The PC is under a year old. What do you recommend? Do I need a new rewriter or can it be cleaned? TIA

Answer 1

Most likely it's a problem with 'copy protection' (aka DRM or Digital Rights Management) .. go look it up ..

NB> If you CD/DVD is made by Sony (or your Burner software is Sony), too bad .. Sony is known for their pro-active copy protection systems (look up 'Sony Root Kit')
