I've been burning CDs with MJ and MC for a few years w/out problems until... about a month ago. When playing a MC burned CD, the time that a "track" starts and when the "song" starts not that same. That is, for example, I advance to track 6 on my cd player, display says track six, time 00:00, but the song is already a few seconds along. The problem is cummulative, such that on a long cd (75 minutes) with lots of tracks, the last song has played 10 seconds before the track counter changes.
I noticed a thread on the subject by Laffer from Aug 4, 04 titled "CD Burning track start/stop timing error". I note that JohnT felt there was a fix w/ 10.0.158, but I was already on 10.0.161 when the problem came up. I updated, now at 10.0.173, which did trim about 2 seconds off the problem by the end of the cd, but it is still a problem. Problem is the same with both burners I have.
Any thoughts? Please don't suggest I try MC11, though I am sure I will upgrade when it is released and stable. Below are my system specs copied per MC10. I did install WinSP2 when it came out but this did not make any problems. NAV says I am virus free.
Thanks for any help.
