When you are in the burn dialog, there is a check box to check for data verfication. In older versions of Nero, the disc would eject, then the door would close and check the disc for errors. In the latest versions, you can tell if it is checking the disc by the intensity of the drive's fan. That is a very handy feature. Yes, it does take more time to complete, but you know if you have a coaster or not right away.

I use the fastest speed, and it doesn't seem to have hurt my projects, because everything I've burned with Nero in a data CD project has sounded good. I don't think there were any errors. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Grady" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
