>From my experiance, 4X burning with disc-at-once has not given me any problems. I have burned 4 or 5 discs using this method and they all have worked fine in my CD-Rom drive as well as my various CD players at home (my stereo and my discman). I don't know if it has to do with bad CDs, bad writers, or what but I have had no problems using the 4X, disc-at-once method with my el cheapo Maxell CD-Rs and an HP 8100 CD-RW. And personally I hate the 2-second interval between tracks...but that's just me.
