them.sometimes it will do a complete burn but the audio won't play.on a
different cdplayer or this one i have either..sometimes there are error
messages and the cdrom ejects the cd.i have tried slowing down the burn
speed,tried usind different software to burn also..Nero,easy cd creator,and

HOME..oh.and i tried uninstalling the burner in device
manager,rebooting,tried different drivers also.nothing works..please

You may want to cover more of your complete setup. How are your drives set
up, is the burner set as master or slave, etc.

How fast is your computer, how much memory, basically anything with the
system that might effect your burning. MP3 files, and are they converted or
what? Have you updated any firmware on your burner?

Check to see if there is a firmware update. Firmware updates for CDRW drives
are pretty common and very simple to run.

Honestly, using a "cheap" CD-RW unit, or cheap CD blanks, is the likely
cause of your problems. Price makes a difference in the quality of the
object.

Well, if it just stopped working it might be the laser has gone bad. Have
you tried to clean it? Can you swap it to another computer?

Good Luck
