I've had trouble with downloaded songs skipping in playback whenever I used LimeWire's media player. When I switched to Windows Media Player 10 (now upgraded to 11), I could play back the same songs and they wouldn't skip. So it depends on your media player, your CD-RW player, and your CD-R or CD-RW discs. I've burned some CD-R discs with glitched tracks, but that was because I got a glitched download to begin with.
