.... not if you are burning the discs. Once a disc fails to burn, just toss it. The most likely cause is a defect in the dye layer. Once the dye in a CDR has been heated from the laser, it is permanently changed. There's no recovery unless it's a CDRW.
I haven't bought any CDRs in a few years, but when I was doing lots of them, the failure rate was remarkably low compared to the early days. I also found that certain burners were more likely to fail. I burned most of my discs on my laptop because the burner in my Dell desktop often wouldn't play on any other machine. My old Win98 machines and Win2000 machines were very consistent.
When you can buy 100 CDRs for $30, it's not really a big deal to burn a coaster now and then.
