Default Very Strange Problem Burning CD's With Nero

I'm using a Nero burning program and just recently when burning audio
CD's an average of 3 or 4 tracks per burnt CD are playing back at an
extremely slow speed and I mean really slow e.g: 6 fast drumbeats take
30 seconds to play! Worse than playing a 45RPm record on 33 1/3rpm!
I have done some experimenting and it seems to only happen when I burn
from MP3's. If I convert these beforehand into wav's the CD's burn
properly and they playback at normal speed but if I burn them as MP3's
some play back slow as I said before.
No one i've talked to have ever heard of this problem before. My Nero
program is only 2 months old as is my newly installed LG Burner but I'm

thinking it could be some sort of hard drive prob as before I had Nero
I used Easy CD Creator and a Sony burner and towards the end it also
used to do strange things with MP3's that forced me to always convert
into wav before I burnt anything but they never played slow - they were

just corrupted in other ways (not burning 1st track was one prob).
So seeing as all my burning gear is new I can only think it has
something to do with my actual computer (3 years old Pentium 3) or am I

just having a run of bad luck with burners and programs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think I would uninstall the Nero software, but of course keep your serial
number, and re-install it.

This could be a burner problem, a media problem or a reader
problem. You can isolate it by changing each in turn, and
see what happens.

This focuses our attention more on the burner and the media.

I would say it almost has to be a bug in Nero, in the process by which it
converts MP3s to CD audio files.

Remember, CDs and hard disks aren't like record players -- they can't render
"slow" music by just spinning slowly. They deliver data files to the
computer (or the CPU in the CD player).

Exactly. Not every version of nero is bug free. Over the years i've found a
number of bugs in various versions of nero. Since its constantly updated on
a regular basis.

In fact, on thinking about it, it *has* to be Nero choosing the wrong sample
rate under specific conditions.

Yup. I hear that Nero 6 is troublesome. I'm having great success with
Nero 5.5 . . .although I've never burnt any MP3s yet with this version.
I did a few with Nero 4 and it was trouble free as well.

Oh, and to help diagnose your problem, when burning MP3s, Nero expands
them first to a wav format then burns the wwav files . . . if you're
making an audio CD. If your making a data iso 9660 CD, then Nero
literally burns the MP3s straight to the CD. You would then be able to
play them in the computer or any stereo that can read MP3s from that iso
formatted CD. Usually when a CD player mentions MP3 capability, then it
can read MP3s on iso 9660 CDs.
