==Write Speed==

The CD write speed. The drop-down menu will list the available write speeds for your burner (for example, 1x to 32x). Some computer systems cannot handle the top speed of a CD writer so if you experience problems, the first thing to try is to lower your writing speed.

* '''Decode Files Directly To CD.''' When checked, files will are decoded and burned to the CD simultaneously. If this is not checked, mp3 files are converted to WAV format prior to the start of the burn process. Decoding and burning simultaneously puts more of a burden on your CPU, so if you are having problems with the burn failing part way through, uncheck this option. Note that if you select the normalization feature (See [[Encoding Settings]]) this checkbox will have no effect since all files need conversion to WAV in that case.

* '''Write CD-Text.''' If your burner supports it, special "CD-Text" information will be burned onto audio CDs. This consists of the CD title and the track names, which will then be displayed on home or auto CD players that support this feature.
