It seems to be pressed by default. Shouldn't the software know whether -swab is required? OK, tonight, I'll try again to burn audio with gcombust to see what I get. And, I'll use a CD-RW ;-). I won't be able to use it in half my CD players, but at least I should be able to figger out the damn -swab flag crap.
