Time out for a "logic" check.

While _burning_ speeds of CDs/DVDs have become quite fast ( 54X! ), that does not mean that CD/DVD _players_ run at that speed. How else can I explain the 'success' of our Minister of Music handing out CDs that have a simple 'address label' sticker on them! These things play fine in every player that has been tried. No way can they be 'balanced' with that very much off center label. The only reason I can come up with is that the label is such a small weight AND the _player_ does not spin any faster than they always have. Now, if you put a label on the disk _before_ burning, all bets are off! 8-)

Burning speeds are based on the constant speed of playing speeds. How else could one claim a "54 times faster" burning speed, if the playing speeds had somehow changed in the last few years.

Now, I'm still against labels, stick on or printed. They are still impossible to read when playing! If you need some kind of identification for a CD/DVD that you plan on keeping for several hundred years, try putting a number at the extreme inner, un-written area of the disk. And use an approved ink pen, of course. For a record of what's on the disk, print it on something to go in the jewel case or sleeve, that way people will be able to select a specific track immediately ( that might even prevent a "driving accident"! :)

I would think that printing jewel case/sleeve labels/inserts would be as fast, if not faster than printing the disks themselves, also. [thinking]
