Thanks Mike. I've wondered about that. I can record 74min CD-RW's but
don't want to do that for archiving (in addition none of my other cd players
can use, and "yes" I have finalized. These are Sony's rated 1-4x. The Sony
CD-R's are rated 1-52x...they were the only ones with a stated lower limit
and I bought them assuming they accordingly would work. But they do no.
