[iTunes] burning audio CD

[Chris Beamis]

I'm attempting to do something I used to be able to do no problem, burn 
a playlist to a CD.  The machine is a dual 866MHz mirrored drive door 
with OS X 10.2.8, and I've checked software update and it says I'm all 
updated.  In Itunes I select File:Burn Playlist To Disc then insert the 
disc when prompted.  It says it's checking and then says it's writing 
the first song.  After several minutes it spits out the disc and a 
dialogue box appears that says "ITunes can't burn this CD because the 
burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media.  Choose a lower 
speed in the burning pane of iTunes preferences, then try burning 
again."  So I click OK then checked the burning pane in ITunes 
preferences.  I clicked on ITunes:Preferences:Advanced:Burning.  It 
says Preferred speed is maximum possible, which I already knew since 
I've always left it there.  I've never had trouble before and nothing 
has changed except for routine software updates.  The CD says imation 
10X-24X CD-RW 74MIN/650MB.  The playlist I'm trying to burn says 
402.7MB.  I've tried setting the speed preference lower and tried 
different CDs, all with the same result.

What went wrong?  Should I shell out for the latest OS?

Thanks for any advice,
Chris
