Hello, I desperately need some help.
I have been recording (legally obtained) MP-3s to CD-Rs in a 128kps variable birtrate format (or maybe it is constant bitrate -long story here)
My condition is symptomised by the fact that at a specific point part way through the CD, blank spaces start apearing every few seconds, during the blank space the 'track counter' goes up by one (as if it were reading the next track) and then it resumes playing right where it left off.
This process repeates itself, the counter keeps going up, blank spots keep appearing when it goes up and the controls cease functioning.
This must be a common format problem but searching has turned up no help. I have read the manual and been to the official FAQs which really haven't helped either.
My two models are:
Panasonic SA-HT692 (dvd player)
Panasonic SL-SX430 (portable mp3-cd/cd-r player)
Any help would be much appreciated.

OK, let's backup here a minute . . .
1 - How do the original MP3's sound on your computer? Are there long pauses in the audio at the places you describe that correspond to the same time pointers as would be on the CD?
2 - Where are you recording them to? Your 2 models do not appear to be CD-R/RW writers?
3 - I assume that you are converting these MP3's to some other intermediate format before creating an audio CD? Perhaps you can tell us the process you are using, including the software (and versions) you are using along the process path.
The more details we have the better we'd be able to assist you, ok?
Cheers!

The files work fine when played on the computer. It is not the files themselves. If I burn the cd in a different order it happens to different files.
I believe it is a problem with the software on board the CD player at some point deciding that the track should change, during which it "inserts" four-second track pauses but does not move the reading head.
It keeps updating the counter to the next track, but it is still reading at the same spot and otherwise becomes unresponsive.

The MP3 were encoded directly from *.cda to *.mp3 on the had drive automatically by the computer sound card/software bundle I was using.
2
Then they were burned in *.mp3 via 'adaptec direct-cd' to data cd-r.
This was done using a computer CD-RW drive (see below).
Copied from:
Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-115
Firmware revision 1.27
Copied Using:
Sound Blaster Live! 24bit
Copied Using Software:
Creative Media Source 2.02.59
Burned using software:
Adaptec Direct-CD wizard 3.03 S12
Burned to:
LG CD-RW CED-8080B
Firmware revision 1.06
I am aware that while my CD player is capable of running DATA-CDR MP3 disks it has problems with some CD formats. I have trouble acessing tech support because I am in Canada. Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you and S!

Panasonics are picky when playing MP3,I have a C1401U car stereo.
Try this:
1.Make sure the MP3's are CBR,I recommend using CDex to rip.
2.Make sure the CD-RW isn't scratched.
3.When burning use Data(not packet writing),Mode 1,DAO.
Good luck
