Well, here we are again, Paladoris !
Just EXACTLY
what system does it not seem to be ?

Don't necessarily bet any money on that, and remember that I said, "Sound card and/or drivers..."
(But, I do hope you are right !)

Ah... The little problem of
NO INFO !
To date, we have been able to learn that you are using
some version of LimeWire and
Sonic RecordNow! on
some sort of computer with
some type of Operating System.
You also have not stated what 'player' you are using and whether or not you have tried any
other player(s).

"CD's" use different drivers - different codecs... Not the same as .mp3 or .ogg or ape or...
Also, depending on your machine and its peripherals, you may be using very, very few of your machines 'resources' when 'playing a CD' as it is entirely possible that your CD-ROM/player is doing most of the work... i.e. not accessing your Hard Drive or using any great share of processor time/resources.

Interesting. This is some information to go on...
BUT,...

Rather different, hmmm ?

| All I was complaining about was the fact that it's very rare, at least in the things I'm looking for, to find a song that plays perfectly all the way through without skips, and in turn burns to a CD. |
An understandable complaint.

Oh, Oh !!!
99.99% sure that you have some form of problem on/with your machine.
Please try with another 'burner' and another 'player'.
I am not ignoring the importance of the 'message' you get in LimeWire. But, is that message being reported when you use the player or after you have completed a download...
Also, are you certain that this is not a problem related to a heavily fragmented Hard Disk ?
And, pretty please ???????
More info so that others can help you more quickly and more accurately, OK ?
p.s. Not that this will cheer you up, but, for many, many years I have said to people that,
"If Hi-Fi worked the same way as computers we'd all be playing in kazoo bands !"
Think about it... Aren't computers fun ???
