A friend generously gave us an external CDRW for Mrs. McLargehuge's B/W G3 Powermac. The Powermac has USB1.0, which generally means very slow burning, but that isn't really a problem.



She is trying to burn an audioCD out of iTunes (the drive is supported). What happens is that it lingers for a long time, like hours, on "preparing disc" them for even longer on the first song, then it stalls, and freezes the computer/ruins the disc.



Certainly USB CDRW's shouldn't do this... right?



She is running 10.3.9 with 512 megs of RAM.



Also, why is this friggin mortgage page opening everytime I click on anything here today? It's really annoying...

    Don't know what to tell you. Had this same problem on 2 iomega CD-RW drives. Finally trashed them and bought an external LaCie drive -- problem fixed!
