Incomplete songs

Sometimes when i download songs then i burn them it only plays for like 7 sec. but when i go back on the computer it says that they are like 3 or 4 minl. or whatever. i dont know what the probllem is

 

it sounds like the problem may lie with your hi-fi.

is it not possible that the hifi is playing the tracks in preview
mode which would account for the seven second play.

do the tracks play ok in your cd-rom ?

 

Does the entire song play before you burn the cd? Sometimes files are placed out there that look to be complete but only have the first few seconds.

 

Just to make sure and cover my bases... do they play ok on your computer? You said you burn them right away and so I didn't know if you are saying they aren't playing right on the cd or your computer... I'm assuming your computer but if they play there ok then your burner isn't burning the cds right...
