you can try this program to see if the discs are corrupt. it sounds like they are.
you could slow down the burn speed and then try a different media type. it depends on what burning software you are using, but close all programs in the background.

i'm assuming it's nothing more than a straight data disc.

yes it found errors on some of the songs however strangely not all of them. I was wondering if there is a way to find out exacatlly what the problem is and how to prevent it
