It seemed that noone really answered the question (but, I did scroll down pretty quickly), although I always find a debate on intelectual property,,etc interesting.
Without going into details, Professionally manufactured cd's ALL have errors, part of your cd players job is to correct as many of these errors as possible. Even when you do a slow-burn (which is,as TBPL says, the best speed to burn at) on your home computer it will always result in an end product with more errors than manufactured cds. Newer cd players (well, in the last 5 or so years) are just better at correcting these problems, older ones often just get confused and say "what the hell do you expect me to do with this!!??".
the only solution is to use a newer player.....
