I'd prefer my music clean and error-free. are you sure it's the burner that's responsible for the clicks? it's very likely that your cd-rom drive (or the burner acting as cd-rom drive) is the one to put the blame on. check this by leaving the extracted .wav files on your hd, then listen to the freshly burnt cdr, and if you notice clicks, load that .wav track into a sound editor and see if the clicks are there, too. if they are, keep your cdr burner and either get a plextor ultraplex 14/32x cd-rom drive (less than $100 and the best audio extracting you can get) or extract your audio at 1x speed (which may or may not help). as not everyone knows, the concept of error detection in data cdroms does not apply to audio extraction. some, but not all cd-rom drives use the same error correction that audio players use at 1x speed, but at every speed faster than 1x it completely depends on the combination of your cdrom drive and the audio disc. cheers, tom
