Gary, I'm so sorry if it sounded as if I was snapping at you. I was tired and frustrated about something else last night. But I honestly had become puzzled as to why a couple of people were answering me after I asked just one kind of question with so much basic information about CD/R recording that I hadn't asked anything about. I kept politely saying thanks, I knew that but I'm sure others will appreciate this, etc., but no one seemed to see that I was saying I knew everything but the answer to the particular question that I was asking. I just got annoyed after this kept happening. anyway, as before, I'm sure someone benefited by hearing about all this stuff for the first time, just as I did only some weeks ago on this list, when I was actually asking those questions and receiving instruction. Thanks again, and sorry if I was rude. Daniel----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary Wood" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: "PC audio discussion list.

I use the fastest speed, and it doesn't seem to have hurt my projects, because everything I've burned with Nero in a data CD project has sounded good. I don't think there were any errors.----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Grady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: "PC audio discussion list.

Most people just take the default speed which would be as fast as your burner and media can go, but you can slow the burn down. Look through all of the options carefully before you startthe burn in Nero. I haven't burned a cd in a while or I could tell youexactly where to look.----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: "PC audio discussion list.

I think it's just done at whatever speed the burn program defaults to and theCD drive is capable of, or something like that. Isn't this how it is?I'm sure I'm not understanding something.----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Grady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: "PC audio discussion list.

I understand the importance of most of the specifications of a CD, such as its capacity. But what about the write speed? I'm pretty sure my CD/DVD drive is rated at a maximum wwrite speed of 52x, but does this mean I'm short-changing myselfor inconveniencing myself in some way (or even burdening my system orburning program in some way) if I don't get discs of the fastest speed? Does it particularly matter? If I don't use 52x, is it as if I'll have to sit there all day waiting for one CD to finish being recorded? Why are there so *many* different write speeds? What were they all intended for? 1x, 4x, 16x, 32x, 48x, 52x-- what's all this about? Does anyone understand how there came to be so many types at this point, and what's best to buy?

I buy them in a spindle of fifty, generally, though sometimes a spindle of 100 is really cheap. I have found that so-called music cd's are no better than straight write once read many type cd's, though they generally cost a bit more. Money for r i a a, I suppose. Hope this helps. Rusty > At 12:27 AM 6/13/2005, Yardbird spake thusly:-I've begun creating CDs for friends by both copying my own music CDSand also by creating compilations from music files on my hard drive. While learning, I've used a few blank CD/Rs graciously donated by a friend. NowI'd like to get myself a modest supply to keep on hand, and I'd loveto hear recommendations. I just did a search on Amazon and realize that there are a lot of brands to choose from, in different quantities, with or without jewelboxes. It's a bit overwhelming. I just want to find something likea 25-pack of good quality discs that I can depend on for quality and durability. Also, I'd like to know where to find those slim-line jewel boxes that most people I I know use for CDs they make themselves. Here's the model of the CD-ROM drive/recorder in my Dell PC. I'm under the impression that the write speed is 52x, but if anyone knows differently, please say.thanks a lot.
