Uh, you _HAVE_ a 16X ripper? Fastest CD-R(W) I've seen released has been an 8X. And the fastest hardware I've seen CD-R(W) drives built to use has been Ultra SCSI 2 (my Yamaha CRW4416S). Plus, I've never seen media designed to handle anything faster than 8X burn.. I'd certainly like to hear from somebody who knows more about this than I do, and prove me wrong. :) -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
