Well, I give up. The truth is, I have a pretty new computer with a drive
that I think is rated at 52x, and the first CDs a friend gave me to start
learning to burn were 52x as well, and everything worked fine. I wasn't
thinking about this stuff until I began to look online for blank CDs and saw
that there are all these different ratings for them.

I think you have it backwards. Most of the cdr discs out today are rated
for at least 16 x speed and up. But some of them are only able to go up to
a certain burn speed so if you try to record with 2 fast of a speed for
them, it doesn't work. It sounds to me like you've burned a few discs
before and you have a setting that works for you. So, stick to what works
best and keep it easy for yourself.
