When you burn a music CD...

Nero, fastest, yes ( I dont have a dual core cpu either)

Why would you burn at a speed slower than maximum?
 
Alright...so using the computer won't mess up the CD?

I'm asking because I just burned a bunch of CD's and I'm having some skipping problems with a few of them (haven't listened to all of them yet so I don't know how many are bad). I burned with WMP on fast setting (fastest is highest), and I did use the computer while I burned them. I'm using a home DVD player to play them so I know it's not that...and I doubt it's WMP. I just burned a CD at fastest and so far it sounds fine, maybe it just needs to be set to fastest for some reason or the other.

Dang this sucks...I burned quite a few CD's last night, I wouldn't want to have to reburn them all over again.

EDIT: Nevermind, it just skipped. What the hell is going on...

A lot of it depends on the media and the player you are using. My Yamaha CRW-F1 burner has a special audio burning setting that lowers the burn speed a bit but works flawlessly in almost any CD player.
 
Back in the day when computers were slower it was recommended that you not use the computer while burning, this was because the drive needs a continuous stream of data in order to burn properly. Modern computers max out the buffer with no difficulties, in other words

Nero, fastest, Yes

and the only thing I have changed in my computer for the past 4 years are monitors and hard drives.

Same here. Used to end up with lots of coasters trying to do max speed with my old Creative 4x4x32. That probly wouldnt happen with my current pc but I can deal with it taking 2 extra minutes for my disc to finish.

 
I hardly burn music to CD since I got my iPod (couple years back) but I used Nero on the fastest speed, and did not use the PC.
 
itunes, 16x, yes.

why not fastest? I still have to drop to 8X on some media/player combos to get them working. Ok, not anymore since I don't have that head unit anymore... but 16x is fine with me. It's still a very problematic issue with DVDs though
