When you are burning a cd, there should be a little tick box that says "Varify after burning". This will compare the cd you burnt to the files on your computer, and will let you know if they do not macth (ie a problem with your cd drive or the cd it self).
If it passes, then its probably the cdplayer you are using to listen to it that is borked.
If I'm having problems reading a CD, then I try to read it in my DVD-ROM. If that fails, I bung it back in the CD writer and limit reading to 1x - this always works for me.
After 3 years or so, it'll be less problematic to just replace it. As said before, they're cheaper to replace than suffer problems with .
CD ROM's can be made from any number of dyes, and some are better then others, I got some CD's from Office World that made the most arwful scratching sound when played in a normal CD player and totally refused to work in my HP Laptop - the company even sent me free CD's to test for them - make was called PINE.
Are you using "disc at once" recording method to remove gaps?
Recording at a slower speed will generally produce better results.
