It might be like on my PC if the buffer runs out the cd then starts to skip if you reduce the wirte speed till ur buffer is constanly full they tend to write betetr also if the cd is constanly skipping check the cd, sometimes the inner ring on the cd (the hole of the cd) may be slightly warpped or have a flat crack in it, this makes the cd spin ata slight angle, wobble or lose grip on the spinning wheel mechanism this will also cause the cd to skip
