What speed should I burn a CD at?
It is generally acknowledged as good practice to burn audio CDs at speeds no higher than 4x, but it is also important that you use good-quality blank media specifically designed for low-speed burning. Most computer media these days is designed for very high-speed burning, usually over 24x.
Does burning a CD slower improve quality?
In my experience, the slower the rate, the better the burn. I have burned thousands of cd-r’s, at 1x on my last computer, and at 4x on the new one, because that is as slow as it will burn. Dave likes this.

What’s the best speed to burn a CD?
Well, as you might have already guessed — slower speeds often equal longer-lasting CDs. Of course, that doesn’t mean that your CD won’t turn out if you burn it at a higher speed. For some people, they don’t care about the speed at all, because it’s more of a long-term problem.
Which is better an audio CD or a data CD?
Whilst, Audio CDs are made out of uncompressed media — heavier files but better-quality audio. Again, this will tie in with our previous tip, in that Data Disc is another type of CD. For this type of CD, you can store as many different types of information as you want (be it audio files or re-formatted video files.)
Can a compressed file be burned to a disc?
