    Do I have to buy CD-Rs that are specific to the speed of my drive or can I burn a 48X CD on a 24X drive?

    Yes, you can use 48X CD-R on a 24X drive. Numbers printed on CD-Rs means maximum speed allowed, when you use 48X CD-R on 24 drive, you will only operate at max speed of 24X.

    Some cd-r's say 48x 52x and so forth. That number only means the maximum speed those cds will burn at. Your cds will burn under your 24x burner.

    Say I have a 52x cd burner and I have 48x cd-r. I cant burn at 48x cds at 52x speed.
