I agree 100%. Anyone who knows anything about burning technology will tell you the same thing. I have a plextor writer and I burn all of my audio CD's at 48X and every single one of them comes out perfect. If you bought a crappy Lite-On writer, expect crappy CD's. Enough said.
And quit arguing. You sound like a bunch of children... oh wait a minute....
thats bull, all the cds i down load sound like the really thing.. i have a t1 line and it takes about 15 to 30 sec to download a song. you just cant go to kazaa or something like that and get the best. i have member ship and all the songs sound new
