Best Practice

Some of this may be due to the way in which CD-Rs are burned, and what other readers make of them. CD-Rs "burn" the surface of the disk (really, of the platter) to create areas of differing contrast where light/dark = 0/1. The faster you burn, the less contrast in the resulting disk. Some readers (especially older readers) have difficulty reading discs burned at high speeds (and therefore lower contrast). The slower you burn, the higher the contrast, the easier it is for those readers to read it. In my experience, 1x or 2x is usually safe.
