While solving a problem with a device that was having trouble reading my recorded MP3 CD discs, some coleagues here suggested I try recording at lower speeds to see if that will help.

I'm using ImgBurn for recording. The CD discs I was using were designated for 52x recording speeds, but while trying to record them at 4x I noticed ImgBurn (and several other applications I tried to check, whether it is a recording application issue) switched the speed to 10x.

What determines the minimum CD recording speed; the brand of the CD, the disc drive (in this case a generic Lenovo laptop drive, I do not know the OIM or the particulars, but the laptop is fairly new, maybe a year old) or something else?

  • Usually it it the burning software that controls the speed. – Moab Oct 16 '15 at 16:17
  • @Moab - Why is it then that while setting the speed for 4x, upon inserting the disc in the drive, the speed gets reset to 10x as minimum? – Rook Oct 18 '15 at 13:38
  • Probably the software has determined 10x is the lowest safe speed for that media to burn at to avoid making coasters. – Moab Oct 21 '15 at 21:36
