Have you checked which CDR media the device can use. This may be as simple as using a CD-R rather than a CD+R or vice versa, Also check if you may be burning to a CDRW or CDR.

could be bad cd's ,but id say your recorder is going bad. you can try cd rw disks they work better in this case. then use a pc to copy to regular cd then reuse the cd rw disk again.

It has analog line I/O, and SPDIF digital I/O, and USB 2.0, allowing you to connect the CDR420 to virtually anything in the world.

If you are attempting to burn mp3 files as an audio CD, then that's the problem. You cannot burn audio CDs from MP3 files. You have to burn MP3 files as a data CD and not as an audio CD. See excerpt taken from page 33 in the CDR420 user guide. "Prepares CDs that can be played on standard CD players. Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA) uses uncompressed PCM, .wav files. The CDR420 does not convert MP3 files to PCM so MP3 files are ignored if you choose AUDIO as the CD TYPE"

Sounds liek the recording was not direct in a sense from computer to CD quality so the bit rate suffered.. I would suggest a computer in the middle of this recording env. to adjust bit rate a good bit rate would be 128k at least for the minium.

A Muddy playback was probably from a muddy type of recording, best results is you a computer to upscale it to a CD quality solution next time.
