Re: File format cd:s?

I don't believe so. CD writers can record at many speeds. They read back
at one speed. Newer CD players have engineering advances that allow them
to read a variety of formats. Older CD players read only the Red Book
Standard (which your "home burnt" CD is not).

And now we are dealing with DVD, double density DVD and soon newer DVD
formats yet. This does not include the data versions of all these
formats...We will soon be lost in a sea of backward incompatibility.
