I've found some people can't always read our CDs (written at 10-speed), but
if I burn them slower (4 speed) they sometimes can - if this happens it seems
to mean that the reading CD drive is getting a bit 'tired' - sometimes they
just can't read them at all at any speed. And I've come across CDRs that will
only write to expensive CDR media not cheap ones. These things are rare
enough that's it's not clear what is incompatible with what and as it's a
statistical measure it's hard to say how much (if at all) it depends on the
cost of the CDR media.
