    Ok now I,m really pissed off. Having sorted out the burner and the cd code, the stupid thing now informs me that it was unable to carry out my request and to select a slower speed. So, here are the speeds avaliable to me.
    fastest
    40x
    32x
    16x(i just tried this and it said select a lower speed)
    8x
    4x
    2x
    1x
    Bearing in mind all that means sod all to me, which speed do I select? I shall end up using up all my blank cd,s. Good job they are only cheap ones. Just for once, WHY cant something bloody work for me. FFS. :evil: :evil: :evil:

    Your CD writer does not write at 16x. Try 8x.
    If you copy 1 hour of music at 2x it takes 30 minutes to copy. :wink:

    My CD writer can copy at 52x but I generally use 4x to retain quality. :wink:

    If you have music that you deem worthy of burning to CD, why use cheap CD’s? :?

    Bat – the lower the X ie X2 the better the quality of the recording – same goes obvioulsy with dvds

    You should buy a good quality cd-rw – or dvd-rw – it’s worth it in the long run

    I would recommend Verbatim – top notch

    Using your cheapy CD’s, :lol: try burning at 2x, 4x and 8x.
    If the quality is OK you’ve found your optimum burning speed. :wink:

    And congrats on burning your first CD! 8)
