If you're not already doing so, try recording at either 1x or 2x speed. Slow as heck I know, but this generally helps. Depending upon your equipment, the sound quality will be better, too. Yeah, I know, it's suppose to be digital so it shouldn't make a difference. But in some instances it does. To simplify the reason, when you record a CD, the recorder is constantly doing error checking while recording. Errors do occur while recording and when they do, the recorder will re-record the bad data bits. At higher recording speeds, there are more of these bad data bits which manifests themselves as apparent poor sound quality or skipping.
