Burning a CD


I recently made copies of several hard to find CD's (Lyrita Label) loaned by a friend using my home computer CD burner. I have noticed over a several month period that the recordings seem to be degrading; I am getting a jittering sound. I am using what I think are decent CD's (Imation), and wondered if this is a common problem and what it's cause might be. I am pretty sure it is not my CD player as all commercially made recordings are playing flawlessly. In general I prefer to buy either new or used CD's so I have the liner notes etc, but sometimes that's not an option and I really would like to be able to do this without problems arising later when I no longer have access to that hard to find recordings. Any ideas of where to start.

Anybody else having trouble with Imation CDRs? I've never had a problem with them. Stopped using the higher priced blanks (Mitsuis) when I admitted to myself that I couldn't tell the difference. That said, I can't think what else could be the problem. Have you tried using Vivid or Optrix on the troublesome disk? Does it play okay in the burner or other CD player? Just some thoughts.
