I mean it wasn’t the biggest issue in the world once you know the root causes? If I was writing a ton of stuff I made sure to create an iso first so there’s not much of random files being searched for. And also learn your machines limits and write at a conservative speed..

It was highly dependent on when you were doing this. There was a time very early on where even moving the mouse would cause it to skip. (also had the same issue playing MP2 (yes, 2) audio files). That was when we were really pushing the limits of the hardware (33MHz 486). These issues were resolved pretty quickly in the next generation of CPUs and recorders, so if you missed out on the very early versions you never would’ve seen this problem.

  Back when you needed a carrier to hold the CD-R on the drive.

  You had a CD writer on a 486 at 33 MHz ? Respect. I think they become common around win 98. (pentium, pentium 2 era).

It was when you were using a defective Philips drive that underran regardless of the host, and blanks were $10 each. (perhaps my first experience with class action lawsuits. a coupon for $200 off another $400 drive, thanks!)
