Speed of burn to CD

Hello,

Hope things are going well.

Would you be so kind as to explain the concept of speeds for CD burning (For example 1x, 8x, 54x, etc.).

I ask this because it is confusing to me when I buy blank CD’s and when I burn them.

Thank you,

Any CD-R’s that are rated below 32x are likely to be very old stock.

Thank you, I really appreciate your help! :wink:
