Problems with "cracking/static" while making an mp3 to cda..

MrSpock2002

I've been trying to create a few CD's from MP3's of mine. Most are at 320 or 192.

I use Nero 7, the cd burns out fine, but most tracks have static when I listen to them at medium to high volume on my car sound system. Should I try normalizing it?

Edit: Normalization did nothing.

I do not hear any distortion or static even maxed out on my good headphones on the pc. But in my car any CD that I make (using nero 7) gets static when I attempt to put any volume on it. It's not the sound system, as retail CD's do not do this.

I have a 6 Speaker Monsoon system (high end - not crap) in the car...

I'm using Memorex CD-R media..

Update:
Well after finding a new program called DeepBurner, NOT using my external cd drive, and using HP Lightscribe CD-R's instead or Memorex the problem is cured. No distortion and they sound like retail CD's.

I'm going to guess that it's the Memorex media. But I guess it could be the external drive since it does have many hours of burning done.

Could also be the USB interface as well.

Good call, I hadn't thought of that.

Could also be Nero, can't remember if they EVER got it properly fixed, but there were a LOT of MP3 decoding problems, people putting older versions of DLLs on to fix it, etc.

The critical change may well be the recording program.

Burrrn is also worth a look, another free program that does one thing, Audio Cd, and does it well.
