I just bough a OmniCD (the one from Creative Labs). The drive is a 563-B (Panasonic?), well, it has three setting for the speed operation: - always at double speed, - single speed for audio CDs and mixed audio&data CDs and double for the rest, - always at single speed. So it can depend upon the CD type more than the software, or you can set it to a uniform speed all the time. Now a question: Is not better to have the CDROM drives always working at double speed?
