How to Change the CD Recording Speed

Since 1997, consumers have been able to record data music onto a CD through their computers. The technology has advanced in the past 13 years, with CD recording speeds reaching up to 20x (a far cry from the days of 1x). CD technology has also been upgraded to match the latest in recording techniques, giving consumers the ability to record the type of CD they want at the speed and quality they desire. Choosing a recording speed is a simple process that can be pre-determined by the type of equipment you own.
