Naturally burning at only 1x is more reliable, but who wants to do that if
the drive supports more. I had many coasters with CDRWin because the
version I had, didn't support my Plextor burner. CDRWin never reported any
error messages, the cd just was not playable. I have heard that the newest
version should support my drive also, but I am happy with cdrecord. I
guess I only need basic but reliable functionality, which cdrecord sure
does offer.

Indeed, I thought that I had problems with media and many other things. It
would have been much easier if CDRWin had reported "Drive not supported" or
something.

I believe that CDRWin works great with some drives. I used it with my
old HP7200+ mostly with success.
BTW, my HP7200+ has problems writing data CDs, audio CDs burn mostly with
success. Blanking and reading CDRW doesn't work anymore. Is there
somewhere a good explanation how to clean the lens? Do I have to open the
cover of the drive?
