[Dixielandjazz] Young people and copying CD's

[Larry Walton Entertainment]

I have upon occasion had the same problem but since I'm using my CD's 
more or less as business cards I don't worry about it much.  It seems to 
be a problem with some players and not others.  I personally need to 
upgrade my burner system.  I have gotten professionally produced CD's 
that skipped or wouldn't run a track too.
