what would cause my cd burner to corrupt the first two or 3 tracks on every audio cd i make? the rest play just fine. I've tried slower burning speeds with no luck

It may help but I had some issues like this back in the day. My older (read: 5+ years ago) burner would end up burning crossed song parts and pretty much random sounds into the tracks if I was doing anything near the CPU such as walking, closing books, shutting my desk drawers, etc. It would also fuck up the CD if I was trying to do too many things on the computer the same time the program was burning to the CD such as using internet explorer, microsoft office, etc. while waiting for it to finish. It was a fairly shitty and finicky computer but it got the job done.

Yeah, EAC is the shit if you still listen to physical media.
