Stephen,

I'm looking at 200 CDs I burned in the last few weeks, on a Ti 667, 
running 10.2.3. I almost always use Toast Titanium 5.2 when I burn 
things here. I assume you're using Disk Copy, or the Burn service, 
yes?

Haven't heard anything 'negative' about Apple's burner, but everyone 
I know uses Toast anyway, in Jaguar, at least.
