Hello Jean - 

CA>> The speed of rotation varies automatically as you move
CA>> from the center of the CD outward and vice versa. It's not
CA>> normally controllable from software. 

JP> I think that it is. When burning anyway. 

I did say burning software can limit the speed, either you
edited it out or it was in another message uploaded with this
one. 

CA>> Reading the CD to move the data to the hard drive will be

CA>> not be in control of that.

JP> A gotcha ! Roxio that is on my system now, offers a choice

JP> pick the fastest rate. Have a look. 

Purchased CDs and CDs created by other people don't care what
Roxio has to offer. All CDs are not created by you on your
machine. 

JP> Also, does not this rate thing reffer to a transfer of

I also said that (at the top). Yes, the rpms vary as the
diameter increases or decreases.
