I have been using LightScribe to burn audiodisks so I can listen to audiobooks while driving.  It has worked well for several years except for the fading label problem.  (I store them on spindles now.)  The book I am working on now is troublesome.  I use iTunes to burn the audio and it burns without error, even incrementing the counter that protects the royalty.  However, when I play the disk, there is no volume.  The tracks show up and it runs like it should, but no sound.  At first, I thought that other programs running had interfered with the burn.  I have had that happen before, but that time it caused an error.  Anyway, I stopped surfing the net and had a good burn and then another bad one.  The first burn after start up worked, bur the burn after burning the label failed.  Is my LightScribe getting old and unreliable?  One would think the label burn would fail before the data burn.  Something screwy with the last update of iTunes?  Time for a new computer?

If anyone knows about this problem, thanks for the help.

Update:

I tried to do nothing but burning the disks after a new startup.  First one worked, second one failed.  It appears I get one good burn per startup.

Another update:

Well, looks like the first burn theory is shot.  I got a failed burn right after startup.  I guess new hardware is the next try.

Well...the new hardware was, sort-of, the answer.  Not the hardware itself; the new worked the same as the old.  With the hardware came the disk burning software: Nero.  The new software worked.  The problem appears to be in iTunes.
