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

What software are you using to 'Back up' your CD's
i use Nero 7 and this usually runs a speed check first to establish the correct/best copying speeds.
Realistically though i think its just the age of your changer.
Might just be a dirty laser,have you tried a cleaning disc?

Cant be the changer - the other 5 CD's work fine!

Think I copied that on my old PC using Adaptatec, which has been fine up to now.

Not sure if this is relevant, but i use realplayer to 'backup' my cd's. Its got a feature that will turn the songs into a format that is identical to an original cd, rather than you burning a cd full of mp3, wav etc. I've got an old pioneer cd player in my golf and it plays them fine with no need for stickers etc. (i just use tesco cd-r by the way). Hope this helps.
