I am having an unexpected and frustrating problem. What do you guys think........?

I have completed a song with 9 audio tracks in Logic Audio Platinum 4.7 and I want to burn it to CD. I go into the Track Mixer and sellect the tracks that I want to bounce down to one track, and then click on bounce. Then I title the new .wav file "finished song.wav" or whatever, and click OK. The song then begins to play and bounces itself down to one .wav file. Then I close Logic Audio Platinum and open Windows Media Player. I find the .wav file "finished song.wav" and open it up. It sounds exactly like I want it to. No noise, just exactly what I bounced down. Then I start up My CD Creator software, pop a blank CD into the burner, select the "finished song.wav" file, click ADD, then CREATE CD.... and poof.... it starts burning my song to CD. Then I so happily go over to my CD player in my house, and pop that bad boy in, and the first notes begin to play and I notice that the thing sounds different. There is a fuzz that buzzes on throughout the whole song. Now, you might think that the bouncing down process is what induced the noise... but as I said, I listen to the .wav file on my computer in Media Player and Real Player, plus I sent the file to a friend and he played the .wav file on his PC and it sounded fuzz free. Somewhere between the HDD and the CD-R burner an unacceptable amount of noise was introduced to my .wav file.

What on Earth could this be? And what do I do to fix it?

How fast did you burn it? What brand cdr? Try a slower speed burn and then maybe a higher quality disc. I'm grasping here more or less, but sometimes if I burn high speed I get snaps and crackles.
 
More complex unfortunately

Actually it is worse than that. I forgot to mention that even before I burned the CD you can "pre-view" what it will sound like through a cheap little media player that comes with the "Create a CD" software and the crackles were already there before I even burned it.

The CD-R is by Samsung.

Does e-Magic make mastering and burning software for the PC like they do for the Mac?
 
When you do preview, is it running through the same speakers as logic and windows media player?


what kind of settings are you using on the bounce? I had similar problems with Pro Tools a while ago, try and toy around with the wav settings.
