If I understand you correctly you are having difficulties doing direct
copies audio cd to cd.
Try copying the audio files to disk first, then burning from the disk to
the cd.
Get EAC or DAE (free at http://users.glo.be/~erikd/cddae.htm) and use
one of these to rip (extract) the audio files to your hard disk.
Then use EasyCD to burn from the hard disk to your cd.

The problem is probably that your cdrom drive cant do Digital Audio
Extraction fast enough for your burner. Could also be the disk are
damaged, "marked" you said, or EasyCd or DMA or even a background
program.
Goto here http://www.cdrfaq.org/ , it will tell you more than you want
to know about CD burning. Look at sections on problems, buffer underrun
etc and eliminate any possible causes on your setup.
