Hello friends, I would like to see if anyone could give me a hand.

Yesterday I bought a 2006 Nissan Altima, but unfortunately the stereo does not support direct-in, or my second favorite iPhone-for-cars workaround, a tape deck. Therefore, I'm stuck with CDs for now. Woe is me, my '09 MacBook Pro is spitting out some bad CDs, something that has never happened before.

When I use iTunes, the burn completes, but some of the tracks have strange pops and sounds as though my car's speakers are going, but they're perfectly good. This also happens in our Windstar, and unlike a speaker going out, the pops are always in the exact spot in the songs.

I haven't burned a CD since before I installed Lion the day it came out, so I can't correlate it to that, but it does seem to maybe be a culprit.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Bad drive, bad discs, or a volume issue. Do you have the Sound Check option enabled? It could be the music is clipping or something so you hear the distortion.
