Speed of burn to CD

Post by cgib55 » Wed Oct 15, 2008 3:49 pm

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,
Ms. Cosby Gibson

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