so the cdwrite binary that comes with Xcdroast will handle 4x burns?
Interesting.  I thought only cdrecord handled 4x burns.

cdrecord, IMHO, is much better than cdwrite.  has some really nice
features, plus it supports more drives.  I may someday make a perl/Tk
frontend for it (kind of like xcdroast...), but I'm swamped right now :)

BTW - I still need 6 or 7 more beta testers for TL 1.9Beta.
