Is there any advantage to purchasing one of the newer (and faster) Plextor drives (other than recording speed) for burning CD+G? That is, do the older drives produce worse (audio or video) quality copies. I am considering the Plextor PX-W8432Ti/SW. Does anyone know if this drive has a higher cd+g failure rate than other Plextor drives (i.e. higher than 1 in 5)

I plan to write only at 1x or 2x anyway so speed is not an issue. I will give up faster speed for better audio and graphics quality any day.

Also, does the microstudio software support a direct copy of a disk without using the hard drive. If not, Does anyone know of a software package that will do this.

Depending on the price that you are getting the 8x drive for, this would be the factor to make the decision. You are going to get the same quality, you will just have a more reliable burn witht he newer technology and it will be up to date.

The Plextor 8432 was a solid drive. I have not seen a big difference betweeen that drive and the newer faster drives, but the new 12x and 16x plextor drives do have the "Burn Proof" Technology. You can read about this at http://www.plextor.com/english/products/16_10_40A.html

Hope this helps with your decisions.

Thanks,
