Burned cd's are now "popping" and sound terrible in car

Okay - a little background:
I have a 2008 Infiniti G35 that has a built-in hard drive.  Over the past year, I have burned cd's from my itunes library, and ripped them to the hard drive without issue.  I have about 100 albums ripped so far.  The last 2 I have burned and ripped are producing a strange "pop" on certian notes/parts of the song etc.
So my troubleshooting so far:
1).  I tried listening to other source (hard drive, radio, etc) without any artifacts. 
2).  I re-burned and played directly from cd (as opposed to ripping to hard drive in vehicle first).
3).  I thought maybe the original source files (located on my macbook) were bad.  I didn't do anything for a week.
4).  I burned a new album from my iMac of a different album.  I played that in the car this morning directly from source (cd) and the popping continues.
5).  While popping occurs, I isolated all speaker directions individually (front left, front-rear, etc) and the artifacts occur in all speakers (eliminating a potential blown speaker(s))
6.  I downloaded a new song from itunes - with the idea that a new song from itunes would be free from any poor file or digital "noise".  I burned just this single song and still the issue persisted.
7.  I took the album burned this morning (Queen's Greatest Hits) and put it in a friends car - he's also picking up the pops and "noise" through the speakers (once again affirming not my speakers).
8.  I'm now wondering if itunes is having an issue with burning.  Problem is, I am running itunes beta and I can't downgrade to current release (and with 10.5 likely out as soon as next week, I will just bide my time).
Anything else I'm missing?  Is it just a setting (bit rate or something) that's messing it up?  I'm hoping just some strange conflict with the beta itunes - but not sure.  Anyone else have this problem?  Oh - and I've burned from two separate mac's - but both run the beta version of itunes.
Thanks!

I have the same, or very similar problem. Though it affects only one of my playback systems. Any iTunes burned music CD seems to play fine on my factory installed car system, on a cheapo CD walkman, even on my relatively higher end Rotel CD player, but whenever I play it on my NAD CD player, the discs sound kind of crappy. Its weird because they sound "scratchy" and it seemingly gets worse as the CD plays. I've burned from different computers, so its not the CD drive. Different brands of discs don't seem to help either. Is it a setting problem that I'm not familiar with? Just dunno...

  • HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    A couple of different approached:
    Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
    Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

    It is possible that you forgot to add a file extension (.json) while saving and in that case you may be looking for the wrong file.
    Also make sure that you search for hidden files and folder in case the file was saved in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Firefox won't import the file without a .json file extension ("Can't process ..."), but you can create a backup with any name.

  • IMac 2011 & 10.8.5 - now bluetooth and sound dead!

    Hello,
    i upgraded my 2011 iMac from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 and after the reboot bluetooth and sound are gone!
    So I did a PRAM reset, now I have the startup sound but still no sound or bluetooth under mac osx? Magic Mouse still works, but without scrolling and so on... So it seems 10.8.5 is really messed up!
    Any ideas to fix that?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test Bluetooth while in safe mode. Sound won't work. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • There are now viruses and major vulnerabilities in the osx system...beware

    the following are quoted from various news websites, mainly cnet....
    "Just a day after experts warned of what is believed to be the first Trojan in the wild to target Apple Computer's Mac OS X, alerts are being published on a new worm that exploits an 8-month-old vulnerability in the operating system."
    "update A serious flaw in Mac OS X could be a conduit for attackers to install malicious code on computers running the Apple Computer software, experts warned Tuesday.
    The security problem is the third to surface for the operating system in the past week. It exposes Mac users to risks that are more familiar to Windows users: Visiting a malicious Web site using Apple's Safari Web browser could result in a rootkit, a backdoor or other malicious software being installed on the computer without the user noticing anything, experts said."
    I just wanted to let you all know that the hackers and virus makers are now starting to turn toward Apple

    "Can we see some links to the "information" source please?"
    Yes. In particular please provide links to information that states unequivocally that these new threats are in the wild and infecting thousands of Mac systems and not just in the labs of security "experts." Please provide links as to approximately how many Macs have been infected so far? How fast is the infection spreading?
    Until then you are simply spreading fear, uncertainty, and doubt, commonly known as FUD.

    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.

  • I have 1500 bookmarks that were transferred from Internet Explorer as favorites but they are now uncatagorised and unlabeled - how do I delete some of them or put them into groups?

    I was using AOL 9 with Internet Explorer and saved 15oo Youtubes as "favorites". I changed to Firefox and upgraded to AOL 10 - my favorites now appear as bookmarks but they aren't arranged in groups (guitar, drums, blues, country, lessons...etc.) and there aren't names to identify them. Do I have to delete all of them and start afresh and if si - how do I delete some of them?

    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File

  • Old emails are now blank and source is in unreadable code.

    I assembled an image - 2 screenshots in one. Top is what the older (Just last November) emails look like when opened now... blank. Bottom is the source code, which I would imagine, if I could decode it, would suffice. I attempted to go to the profile's folder with the .default extension in order to follow one set of instructions, but I could not see an option to repair folder in properties. If I was not supposed to access the folder via microsoft explorer, then oops... just let me know. HELP AND THANKS.

    If im not mistaking the email has external links to pics on Youtube (Yimg.com) and those pics doesn't exist any more. I tried to see one but got nothing.

  • Itunes pages are now pink and green

    Set your screen colors to 32 bits.
    Right click on the desktop.
    Select Properties.
    Click the Settings tab.

  • There was a popup on my iPhone 5 and all screens are now black and white. How do I reset it to color?

    A Popup appeared on my iPhone 5 screen and I thought I clicked for better visibility in color, however all screen are black and white. How do I get color back on screens? I have gone to settings, general, accessibility and tried numerous options there to no avail.

    I would suggest checking Grayscale, and also Contrast in Settings > General > Accessibility. If changing those options doesn't make a difference, you could always go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

  • I have an iPod Touch 4 and former apps I had on there are now gone and new apps that I've purchased will not load.How do I fix this?

    Do I have to get a new iPod to fix the updates of these apps?

    Hi there Skatermom14,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Audioquest Dragonfly Pops and Clicks

    I have an Audioquest Dragon fly which plays without issues on my Windows 8.1 machine.  If I use it on my Windows 7 Pro machine, there are loud pops and clicks.
    I called my local Audioquest dealer and I was told that the pops and clicks were an issue in the original release on Windows 8 too, but it was fixed.  I am having what sounds like the same issue Windows 8 users were having, so is it possibly the same
    issue?
    The only lead I was given is that it's related to the audio driver.  I've made sure my drivers are up-to-date.

    Hi,
    What media player are you using?
    Try changing to a different Output Mode When changing the output mode, you might also have to change the Output Mode Settings to make sure the Dragonfly is selected,  For different hardware requires different communication methods to obtain the best
    possible audio quality and performance.
    You can read more here about the audio output modes:

  • New iPhone 5 pops and screen cracks with no impact at all

    I got a new iPhone 5 about a month ago and i was just sitting in my room, on instagram, on my phone when I suddenly heard a pop and noticed my iPhone cracked. I showed my friend who didnt believe me untill it poped again in his hands as well then a third time when it was placed on the table. I never dropped it or was never placed under any extreme temperature changes or anything. I noticed some other people having this problem as well and its not just me. Please let me know who else has this problem and how you resolved it. Apple is clearly doing something different and with less quality that screens are just popping and cracking.

    Whether someone else has had this problem doesn't really matter. It happened to you, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have the device examined. If Apple determines it is a manufacturing defect, they will replace the phone if it is under warranty.
