Hi everybody. I know this is not the place for posting this question, but I don't know where it should be. Recently, I burnt a data CD with mp3 files for playing in my car stereo. I was listening it, when suddenly, the player started to skip all tracks. The track counter showed like 15...16...17... but nothing played. I thought "OK, maybe a burning error". I burnt another CD with the same data and same thing happened at the same point: Just when it was about to play track 11 (an mp3 file downloaded from the Internet). I burnt another CD without this track and this was fine. Burnt another one with different songs including this track and the problem was back, so there is something into this mp3 that makes the player skip. I re-encoded the file, but didn't work. Played the tracks in my PC using Winamp and everything is OK, so what can I do with this mp3 file for fixing it? I know that I can download a different copy or rip it from a borrowed CD, but I normalized all tracks (213) to the same level, so I don't want to repeat this process. Thank you very much in advance.

I had an mp3 file that I download which played in my MusicMatch Jukebox. It would not play when burnt to CD-R at all. I had to assume it had some security/anti piracy code in it. I re-downloaded another copy and got it to burn and playback perfectly. Get other copies of these files.

Alvero, what program do you use to normalize songs? My editor doesn't seem to have that feature. I too have a problem with some mp3's working on certain players as you stated. They work on my PC, my Mp3 player in my vehicle, my DVD player on my stereo, but sometimes skip away on my portable MP3 player? I'm stumped too

Thank you for your reply, Peter. I use Adobe Audition 1.0 (a.k.a. Cool Edit Pro). It has a "Group waveform normalize" feature that scans the volume of the selected files, finds the average and normalize the volumes to that value.

Thanks Alvero, I'll look into that program!
