It depends on your OS (Operating System) and if/what you're cd burning program is.

if you have to have a CD rom installed to play these game, it is probly your CD rom spinning a high rate of speed.  I have a 52X cd-rom and it kinda makes a bussing sound when I am using it.\n\nthere is really nothing you can do for this unless it is just not tightened down all the way.

I'll agree with the previous answers insofar as 128kps is the MINIMUM for 16 bit 44.1Khz CD's.\nHowever, as many modern CD's (not to mention remasters) are 20 or 24 bit, the higher the bitrate the better - although obviously file size is a consideration.\n\nIt's really a personal preference - a trade-off between file size and quality - personally, I go for a minimum of 192Kps nowadays.

Any new CD you feel like using in your PlayStation 3 will be fine.  The recent Audioslave release would be a great one to try or perhaps hold out for Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy". They've been working on it for about 14 years so it has to be good.  The PlayStation 3 will play old Cd's as well so if you have something like U2's "Joshua Tree" feel free to throw it in.  I'd hold off on the Barry Manilow as it could possibly trigger the parental controls on the PlayStation 3.  The PlayStation 3 will even play video discs like hybrid Cd's, dual discs, and DVDs. So if you've been waiting to purchase a quality DVD player you now have one. If by "CD" you actually meant "what is the new medium on which Sony is producing games for the PlayStation 3," that would most likely be Blu-ray discs.  That's Sony's new next generation DVD that can hold between 50 gigs and 200 gigs of data (Imagine the Tetris game you can get using 200 gigs of code).  The PlayStation 3 will also play blu-ray movie discs....assuming they keep getting made.  Currently Sony's Blu-ray format is in a fight to the death with Toshiba's HD-DVD.  Sony did successfully introduce the world to Cd's....but didn't do so well with Beta videos and mini-discs.

52/700/80=Max write speed 5200 rpm\n700MB storage\n80 minutes music play\n40=Max write 40000rpm\nAny time you wish to have the best quality CD Burn, use a little slower speed than your burner supports.\nIn any event if you have a 40,000 ROM MAx Burner, and put a 52,000RPM CD, you should not have to change anything.

They are both the same, along with CD+R/W  it just means that one u can use over and over again and the other you can right to just once.  both hold 700MB. Your program u use to burn your data, there is always setting to "Overburn" but it can damage the disc or the drive.

If your cd drive is a DVD reader then you should be able to use default windows software to play dvds on computer.  I usually watch DVDs with windows media player.  Also if you need other software hardware like that usually comes with some sort of disk.

you need a win98 start up floppy disk with cdrom support on it, it will install generic drivers to run the cd drive

Actually, most DVD drives will handle faster discs, and will just burn them at the lower speed.  But, if you're fixed on getting 4X DVD+R blanks, you might try going to Newegg's website and ordering them from there.  Here's a link for you and you can go from there:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010100071+1087408097&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=71

All the cd drivers are plug and play devices..i.e they don't need progs to install them....but check the manufacturer website....

Well, if you have nero, put the cd in to the drive, click the info (check the help guide for assistance) and it will tell you. You can always access device manager, (control panel, system, hardware, device manager), and look for the CDROM drive tree. It should tell you there the drive type. But 99% of cd/dvd's out there are documented on the top what type they are

older cd players will only play .CDA or .Wave format

Not exactly. The game installer places the pieces of the game at the appropriate places on the hard drive. Also, if you ran a game from a cd, it would ve VERY slow.

Sure. The sound card is just use to play back audio through your PC. The CD-Burner on the otherhand, is connected to your IDE controller in your PC. So you can burn and listen on some other device, but you won't be able to listen on your computer.

Usually you don't need adriver for an internal CD, DVD drives.\nIf your computer didn't recognize the drive, that another issue.\nagain is it internal or external?
