Nero always gave me trouble. I like my simple little Roxio setup I have on my computer....Hmmm...as for speed? I don't know. I'm kinda computer illiterate that way. I DO know that I save everything to wav file and then I drag and drop or just add 'em all to the cd project and record all as "disc at once" to eliminate the 2 second gap at the end of each song.
I like to pay close attention to the things I'll forget later...
10X is pretty much middle of the road. Slow burning would be 4X probably. You'll understand the difference while you wait for friggin ever for the CD to burn. 24X is prettty damn fast.
Honestly if I'm burning .flac files as data I just burn at 24X (my max) and then test the files, and if they all come out verified then I know with 100% certainty that I'm fine.
When I DL a show off Sharing The Groove, I actually don't even burn to audio CD anymore, I just burn the data because that way I KNOW that I can empirically test to make sure I have a perfect reproduction and I don't have to listen to the whole thing to make sure something didn't get fucked up.
Burning Hmmm... well since this is my first post might as well make it lengthy. I have 5 burners in two diff comps that run multiple os's everything from 4x DVD to a 56x CD. Best speed to record at is generally the lowest possible setting that your comp will allow without stalling and creating a coaster. There is logic involved here ie...( print you name on a piece of paper, now do that again 48x faster ) sloppy and with errors just like your jittered cd burn. Of course your comp is geared to process information at accelerated speeds but it does have it's limits. Generally if I am burning a quality cd I'll go 8x to 16x given my cdrw drive can do 56x max and 4x min. My drive is fast but my comp is slow and the processor and memory are slowed by the FSB or front side bus (the speed of your memory and processor) this will generally dictate your burn speed. Also you should use quality cd media to burn on. Don't go cheap as you will generally find you lose more to bad burns etc... depending on your os (operating system) try to eliminate all running processes you don't need ie.. AOL Instant messenger, Windows Messenger, Anti Virus etc as they rely on cpu and memory also. Don't forget to turn these back on prior to logging back on the net. Oh well, Hope this helps and hope others find it useful too. (Damn computer nerd label is showing)
12x - 16x in most cases. Unless I'm burning a disc that's over 80 minutes. With Nero you can fit 82 minutes on an 80 minute CD without much difficulty on most burners. And if I'm using 90 Minute media (for recordings between 82 - 92 minutes, I use the slowest setting on the burner (4x) for accuracy.

The blank Cd's I use to burn say its 52x, but the options only give me 48 or something with Nero, so I use that, does it make any difference?

I find the slower burns are better. Thats just me though. I find there are more mistakes with fast burns.
