Yes, Plextools (and Pro) but works only with Plextor drives.

However this can only test the compound process of writing and subsequently
reading. For a definitive write-quality test you need a specialised
diagnostic test equipment costing thousands.

Most people just don't "sweat it" unless they have an actual problem.

Yes. I'm curious why all the angst about audio CD quality: are you going
into the replication business?

Of course not. But when I am listening to music on my stereo system,
I can do without the slow, static 'pops' that can occur for me when
writing at a speed greater than 4x. The problem occurs during loud
passages or when a soprano goes into the top of her range.

The threads I'm receiving are now making me believe I may just need a
higher quality (more expensive) CD player. 8-( I'll start checking
into this. I would like a carousel if possible for convenience in
playing multi-disk operas. (I always used Taiyo Juden blanks, and I
have fiddled with every known make of burner.)
