The recordings were audio CDs. I can't recall making coasters out of
data CDs that I couldn't attribute to my own stupidity, software
problems, or suspected bad media (I bought no-name media cheaply --
always a mistake IMHO). I wasn't switching consoles between tracks,
that's when the errors would happen. It could also have been the
cdrecord program since it was labeled as a test version and I couldn't
duplicate it with a version labeled as stable.
