Burning CDs

Options
I've just burnt a music CD for the very first time, and whilst the CD works on almost all my CD players, there is one that it doesn't . I've noticed that there
is a choice of 3 different speeds for burning. I used the fastest speed. Does anybody know if the speed used has an affect on the quality of the output ?

    Yes the Speed you burn at can affect the qualtiy of the Burn.

    I have been burining Cd/DVD's for a long time and have noticed that maximum speed burns can affect the quality of the burn.

    I would recommend using a slower speed and also using "good" media as this affects quality.

    Having said that, sometimes players dont like certain media and dont play them very well.

    no burning speed shouldn't affect the quality.
    Some older cd players wont play writable CDs.
    Ever stop to think and forget to start again?
