I have a TDK CDRW121032 purchased 01/12/2001...
12x write
10x rewrite
32x data read
32x digital audio CD rip

I'm using 32x Digital Research CDs.

I can read data/audio CDs and save them as ISO images and when I use
md5sum, and I haven't ever had any problems.  So I *assume* it is a
K3b or Linux problem (read as software), and not a hardware
problem.

What KDE app do you use to burn CDs?

Thanks,
Mike
