Jeez! Just burnt another audio CD at 4x and it wouldn't play on my PC from my CD-ROM drive or the small stereo system in the kitchen. But after reading your message I tried it in the car stereo and voila! it works! And so did the other 7 CDs I thought were coasters! So now I have 8 bl**dy CDs all the same.... :) > > Sorry, I wasn't very specific there.

Because I copied and pasted the command into konsole I forgot to change the speed from 4x. Will try that on the next one. Getting somewhere now anyways... Thanks for your help Bryan.
