When burning a CD(40x14x40) will there be a difference if I lowered the speed from 40 to 32. In other words does the quality of the music sound different. Will the sound be sharper or more clear if I lowered the speed?
Well, subjective audio quality reviews are usually more or less B.S. However, decreasing the speed has a tendency to reduce the amount of errors on the CD. http://www.cd-rw.org/articles/archive/highspeedmediaerrorrates.cfm
also a lot of players won`t be able to read the disc if done too fast. some of mine won`t read anything more than 4x !!
