Default distortion at the end of a CD

Hi,

I have made an audio CD which is nearly 80 minutes long.

when I listen to it on any audio CD player the last track is really
distorted (sounds like an FM radio that isn't tuned in properly). It only
plays properly on the PC.

anyone else had this problem? are 80 minute CDs allowed by the red book
standard? or was is just that something went wrong in the burning?

Andy

An audio CD player should play it the same as a PC drive.
A Philips-built player might be an exception.

There could be a problem with that disc. Maybe re-copying it would be a good
idea, since it seems to play ok on the PC.

Turns out it was overburned, so I guess that is why it wouldn't play.

For some reason, overburning didn't seem to work on my new recorder, so I
can't make a copy

Not always true, many older audio cd players cannot cope properly with the
tighter spiral of the 80 minute cdr's. Same with many first generation
computer cd drives

This is whyI mentioned Philips specifically. I've been servicing these
things for over twenty years - that's the only brand I've seen have
troublewith CD-R's or longer discs when not actually malfunctioning. Usually
problems of this sort are caused by cleaning issues, deteriorated lasers,
defective media, and the like.

The original poster has already posted back that the disc was overburned (in
excess of 80 minutes).
