Hallelujah!!!
With a 52x max burner, it reads music tracks at about 13x. Your old burner probably only read music at about 5x.

For piece of mind, use the temp file and hard drive instead of "Copy on the fly". If you do copy on the fly, you want your burn speed to be less than the read spead to avoid buffer problems and dropouts. I burn everything at 12x and I am no impatient.

Glad your having fun. I went out on Black Friday and got some great deals after rebates.
