Question on copying CDs

I'm currently using Nero to copy some music CDs I made. But it can't. However, I can burn files into CD ROMs, what's the problem? How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance

did you try saving the files onto your HD then creating a CD from that image?

Yes that works. Thanks.
But I'd like to solve the copying problem. Is it something wrong with my software or burner?

It could be the copy protection scheme on the music CD that is stopping you.

Probably not. If you recall Yenchin's first post, he stated that "I'm currently using Nero to copy some music CDs
I made."
As for what it might be, there are several things. The most likely thing, I think, is that some CD burners have difficulties in reading CD-Rs for on-the-fly copying (due to restricted read rates -- most CD-ROM drives slow down when reading copies). In that case, you'll need to manually rip and re-write (or simply turn OTF writing off in the Nero burn settings). When it comes to audio, I almost always do a secure rip+rewrite anyway, as it guarantees no skipping in the copy.
