If I might pipe in with an opinion, please allow me to submit the following. When burning CDs with a Q950, if the burner software allows for slowing down recording speed, then by all means, do it! Burn at the lowest speed possible, and of course, with no other applications running in the background. I've made a wheel barrow full of high-tech coasters by trying to burn at 16x and even 8x. 4x should be about right.
As a matter of fact, it's not really a bad idea to just restart the computer before you burn any CDs at all. That way you know your RAM is clean and unfragmented. This is just my two cents' worth, but its also been a sad, repeated experience as well. Allen ----- the pickle wrote: > > At 10:18 -0400 on 12/08/02, Robert J.
