I would like to know what is the concensus regarding the quality and speed of ripping audio CDs using modern DVD-RW drives.
I vaguely remember that back in the days, it was prefered to use CD-RW over DVD-RW, hence I've bought both a 52x32x52 Lite On CD-RW, and a Pioneer 106 for my current system.
I am considering building a new system, and am wondering if there is still any point to get a CD-RW drive (I don't care so much for 52x speed, in fact, I rarely burn CDRs anymore).
On a side note, I am also shopping for a new DVD-RW drive (16x). It seems a lil strange that most drive get 8/10 on cdrlabs. Is it because none really outclass the others? Is there any benefit for me of opting for a newer drive if I don't really care able dual layer (media too expensive) or faster writing speed (I don't burn a lot in one go).
Thanks.
