Read speed settings have no effect

[cmd2000]

I am trying to read a badly scratched audio cd at 1x speed. Whatever I select however, it seems to just go to the maximum speed.

 

I 23:09:55 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I 23:09:55 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)

I 23:09:55 Total Physical Memory: 523,760 KB - Available: 127,708 KB

I 23:09:55 Initialising SPTI...

I 23:09:55 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 23:09:55 Found 1 CD-RW, 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

The command to set the read speed is sent, but it's up to the burner to obey it or not, and unfortunately most burners simply ignore it

Aw bummer. I tried it on an older liteon cd-rw and it went down to 4x but still couldn't read the cd. Thanks.

It's a CD Extra disc yeah?

 

Do you really need the data bit? That's the bit with the errors.

 

If not, just extract the audio tracks in EAC or something and forget about the data session.

That's good advice. The disc would always error out on the last 99 or 100%. I wasn't sure if it was copy protection or just the scratches. The cd is quite old - it asks to install quicktime 2 on the extra part! I will try EAC and ditch the data part. Thanks!
