	Hi Paul,

	Thanks for the response.  The original CD plays fine.  The 
distortions seem to be introduced by Toast at some point.  My general 
procedure is to drag the original files to Toast and then extract 
them to AIFF files on a dedicated partition of my drive.  I save the 
tune configuration to the drive also.  I then re-boot with a scaled 
down set of extensions, open the saved tune configuration and burn 
the CD copy.

	Sometimes I hear crackles or skips in the AIFF files playing 
from the drive.  Sometimes those files sound fine, and problems don't 
appear until I'm checking the final copy.  It's so inconsistent that 
I'm wondering if it's something weird like static build up??

	I would appreciate any thoughts you might have.
